Rag Quilt

My kids LOVE their flannel rag quilts. I love them too, because they wash well and they're the perfect thickness for every season. My son has caught me (many times) using his blanket if it's sitting on the couch. So I decided it was time for mommy to have a blanket. I decided to try squares. I like it, but in hindsight I would have worked out some sort of strip pattern but adult size. The seams are bulky in the corners of the squares. But, it works and I love the colors.

Superhero Capes

I wanted to make something for my nieces and nephew for Christmas. I was originally going to just make my nephew a superhero cape, but my sister said that all three kids would love one. So I got on Pinterest, found a few different tutorials, and finally decided to make them from adult t-shirts, with velcro at the collar. I used felt for the lightning bolts. I think they turned out pretty well, and she said that the kids LOVED them. Now I just need to make one for E!

Car Seat Cover

This is a cover I made for a sweet little baby boy!

DIY Snow Globe

I loved this idea when I saw it on pinterest and I just had to do it! You take a picture of your child, cut it out, laminate it and leave an edge around the photo to seal it. Then, I put it in a jar with a little tree, some glitter, water, and glycerin (found in the pharmacy section - it makes the water "thicker" to help the glitter float around). I superglued the lid on the jar, and now Emmett has his very own snow globe! He loved it!

The photo we used - it was SO hard to get him to make this pose!

Supplies

Finished!

He loves it!

Build-A-Snowman

I figured we wouldn't have much snow this year, so I made a snowman out of felt. Emmett loved dressing it up. I sewed the white circles to the background, and I put the rough velcro on the back of all the pieces so they'd "stick" to the snowman. Emmett had fun dressing him up!

Turtle Taggie

I made a turtle taggie for my nephew, who is a few weeks older than Susie. I put crinkly plastic in the legs and head.

Stained Glass Nativity

I saw this all over pinterest - here is one link: Stained Glass Nativity

Emmett was half interested in making it, but he loved it once it was done and hanging up.
