Happy Day

Owen was grumpy, but not Kent and I. Well, we were upset that Thursday night Owen was screaming from 1:30 to 4:30 because of tummy trouble and maybe teething and definitely tired. I would bounce him on my knees and he would snooze and then wake up screaming and arching his back till I bounced him again. We did this routine about 5 times for an hour. Then I walked around with him and bicycled his legs till he fell asleep for 15 minutes off and on. Absolutely no fun.

But on Friday it was a completely different story, he slept eight hours straight through the night. Never happened before. Kent said twice in the night I woke up startled and said, "Where's the baby!?" I guess I was really confused and thought he was gone because I wasn't taking care of him. haha. Then Saturday night he only woke up once and went to bed real early. I guess he is learning that the crib means sleep time. He is a good baby, but I really think he is teething cause he wails when he bumps his gums wiyh his toys.

Random pics from Friday morning. Owen sleep deprived. Kent sleep deprived. Kambria definitely sleep deprived. Neighbors most likely sleep deprived. Kent studying.

I love bulletin board and ebay, cause I sold some stuff we don't use to have money to get this SEWING MACHINE. I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited.

First thing I will make is a skirt!!

This sensory blanket was really simple and so fun to make. Wish I had a picture of Kelsey and I cutting and sewing away. I swiped the picture of Jaeger off Kels's blog, cause he is too cute. Either our babies are spoiled or we are :)

Wedding Countdown, Size Facts and Project!

Kayla entertained Owen while I colored Kaycee's hair for her last night.
Takin' out the red and focusin' on the brown. . . Getting all doll' d up for the big day on Saturday!

Also, I have been really curious as to how long Owen is?

He is 26" long! He has grown 5 inches in about 5 months! That's a whole head's worth! It's blurry because he kept grabbing the camera strap :D

Lastly, I am working on a home beautification project tonight! And no it's not wallpaper ;)

MY PLAN!

This last one looks a little cluttered with the taggie ribbons and cars so I cleared them in the first pic to show how the fabric will look! I totally designed this sensory blanket all myself! It includes soft minky, fuzzy flannel, ric rac and grosgrain ribbon, and buttons! Also putting a layer of batting in, it will all cost under $20. Now cross your fingers it works out!

And here is the layout for the fabric blocks!

The fabrics are Riley Blake fabrics!! I have the button on the left side of my blog under the picture of the week. You can buy any size cut on etsy.com or I am using http://www.flannelqueen.com/ to buy 1/4 yard of all my favorites! I am also thinking of making an activity blanket like this one!

Mickele, that would be awesome if you made something out of the fabric!! Make sure you tell me all about it!

Maybe it's the winter blahs. . .

but, I am really wanting to make something out of these fun colors and patterns!

I could always make another simple blanket like this lime and blue one that Owen is wearing in the picture, but he has enough blankets. . .

I think this play teepee is a little too advanced for me (okay alot too advanced) but I love it!

So I am thinking of something a little more simple like these fabric blocks with jingle bells in them and ribbon pulls! Whaddya think?

Decorating Owen's half of the room ;)

Even though this board doesn't look particularly masculine (any craft looks more girly) at least it is red, green, and blue and has cars on it.

I plan on making paper cut outs of cars and trucks to match Owen's bedding and put them up on the sides of this board.

It started out as just for fun to use up an old board and then I got a little carried away with the ric rack. haha.

I did burn my fingers on smoking hot glue but oh well!

Modge. Podge.

Projects to come!
