Projects and a Book

There was a day last week that I was able to spit out quite a few projects (yay). Granted, they are small projects that don't take much time. However, when you are mother of 3 small children AND your husband is deployed, it makes for very little time to get away and sew/project. Here are a few pictures of what I have gotten finished lately.

Ok... so very primitive looking bunting. I made this for Hunter because it was annoying the blazes out of me when his blankets would get eaten up by the stroller on our walks. So, I just button him up in here, strap him in the stroller and off we go! No dragging blankets, and still the luxury of cozy toes.


The recipe holder I made for my craft swap. I always save the worst looking one for myself. (if you ever get something from me... know you are getting better than what I have) I like it, but I want to tweak it a bit too.



Lastly, the diaper/wipes clutch. I tried to applique the "C" on there and did horribly. I am pretty sure my bobbin was all messed up for this one. (not to mention off center...) I like it, I made a few more for some new mothers (like I mentioned above).




Now.... on to the book. I finished a book recently titled, "Don't Cry Wolf" by Clair Poulson. He is a mystery writer and his books are sold at deseret. I really enjoy LDS books. I recommend this book if you like a little mystery and a little bit of romance as well. I am grateful to the Bishop and his family's library of LDS novels. It makes for a great library check out - especially since we aren't blessed enough to live in an area where LDS books are available at the local library.
