Cloth Toys

Actually got some sewing in last week. Started with a square soft cube for Audra, who loves it. Stack it up with some of her other soft blocks and she knocks them down with such force. It's great. It was super easy, so I see more blocks in her future. I am waiting on some Winnie the Pooh fabric so maybe when it comes in, I will make her more.

Also made some snacks bags, as featured on luvinthemommyhood. They were even easier. They will come in handy, and I am already thinking of more uses for them.

And my big project for the week was a shopping cart cover for Audra to sit in while we are out grocery shopping. I haven't taken a picture yet, but will post one later on. It's not perfect, but hopefully will do the trick. I added some ribbons so I can attach toys to it for her. And at least it looks like it will work. That makes me excited. Can't wait for our next shopping trip to test it out. I always scoffed at parents who put their kids in similar covers, but after the first time of putting Audra in the seat and buckling her up, the first thing she did, was try and put her mouth on the handle-ew. I generally don't care that much about germs, but shopping carts are loaded with them I'm sure, so I care a little more. This will solve that problem.

Oh, and a felt piece of pie, which I also have to take a picture of. It turned out rather well if I do say so. I need to do some more felt sewing now that my cover is done. Need to make a turkey, that's my next big item. Wish me luck! :)
