Finishing a New Project.....On Time

So I saw a link for the Battlecreek Boutique on Facebook and thought I would check it out. Jordan wanted to get something homemade for the twins she will be nannying and I keep looking around at the car seat tents, but I just couldn't pay $45 each that they were going for at the Quilted Bear. They had a cute one at this boutique and I thought I can make a 2nd one. Jordan wasn't very confident in my abilities to get right on this project because there is a due date (I still had 5 weeks), but she knows how distracted I get with so many other things going on in the house. I went to JoAnn's the next day and picked out material for not 1, but 2. I am trying to think ahead, that if they turn out o.k. I could make more later, but I would need to keep the original as a pattern. I'm pretty sure Jordan will be impressed, actually I kinda impressed myself!!!! This is how they turned out:



P.S. I think I like the Holy Cow a little better, but they had some cute jewelry booths.

Projects







I always have multiple projects around that need to be completed. These actually got done. The pillows are from leftover material that I used to make my sister a shower curtain and will go with Jordan's comforter. I want to make some pink pillows to go with them, but since I don't have the material laying around I can wait until she comes home to do those. I thought the chicks would be fun for the kids to do, but no one ever volunteered, so I did those too. It was nice to have them done in time for Easter and Dakota has been into Bumblebees and Ladybugs so that is why the ladybug. I am also trying to finish a comforter for Sadie's bed. I bought the material a couple of years ago and am determined to get it done soon. But that means the rest of the house goes to pot. In this instance, does that mean down the toilet or on drugs? Whichever will keep the house happy, huh?
