Some sewing for Wyatt

I made this cube for Wyatt using these instructions http://missgioia.com/2007/03/patchwork-cube-tutorial.html


And this sock monkey...


And these furry monsters

Annnnd this was supposed to be a ball, but somehow turned into a star : )

So I made another one and actually paid attention while I was sewing. So now we have a star and a ball.

I want to make a few more mosters and then I think I am done sewing for Mr. Wyatt for Christmas.

Isabel lost another tooth!

She was so proud!!! And now she can sing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

A diaper for Christmas

I made this diaper for Wyatt with Gingerbread men on it for Christmas. It reminded me of Ginger on the Shrek movies and also made me really hungry for some of my Aunt Sharon's gingerbread men! I was testing out a pattern for a friend and it turned out really cute! I put in hidden snaps too! I think Wyatt liked it because he gave his poo of approval!

I embellished Wyatt's prefolds by adding fabric to the middle sections. Here are a few pics. I used flannel and wovens and it only took me a few hours to do all of them!

Update on the kiddos

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I'll give a brief little synopsis on each kiddo here.

Cameron is doing very well in school. He is making new friends and is looking forward to his first "playdate" with one of his new friends.

Isabel went to another birthday party yesterday at the Painted Penguin. She made a Tinkerbell ceramic figure and all of the girls looked like they had a great time!

Parker is done with his first seven week session of phonology class. I have been trying to think of things to do to keep him occupied while his brother and sister are at school.

Wyatt just popped his first tooth. He is trying more solid foods and is crawling EVERYWHERE now and is into EVERYTHING. : )

I'm still trying to finish up Halloween costumes. I am only making Wyatt's (pirate) and parts of Cameron's (also a pirate). Parker decided to be a dragon and thankfully we already had a dragon costume. Isabel is going to be a princess and she already had a princess dress to wear. I'll post some pictures when they are all dressed up. The older two are looking forward to their parties at school on Wednesday. All three of them can't wait to trick-or-treat. They already pointed out that they are going to get tons of candy from our new neighborhood. I think they are right about that. We are going to buy lots of candy to hand out too because I think we will get a huge number of trick or treaters.

Wyatt Has His First Tooth

Here it is. : )

It popped through last week. It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. I didn't even know he was teething. Maybe the amber teething necklace is helping!

Fluffy Mail

Wyatt and I were so excited to get two dozen unbleached premium chinese prefolds in the mail yesterday.

Here is a picture before washing:

And here there are after three cycles through the washer and dryer. They are nice and fluffy.

Of course the very first one that I put on Wyatt, he initiated by taking a poo. That is the ultimate seal of approval. : )

I also made several prefolds for him out of old t-shirts. I used the instructions here http://fernandfaerie.com/sewing_prefolds.html

Here is a picture of the first one. I added some terry for "grip" for the snappi.

I have several more done as well. These are really nice because they are super soft and have just a little stretch so they fit really well.
