Have you ever seen these things- they're called Emergency Blankets. In case you get stranded somewhere you pull out this tiny little pouch and unfold this large "blanket" that pretty much looks like a giant piece of tin foil, and it keeps you warm . Mike found this one this morning while looking for something else so he gave it to Rowan to play with. I don't think I have ever seen one thing keep him so entertained. he ran around with it, rolled around with it, threw it in the air, even Eli thought it was fun! It does sound somewhat annoying, but I'll put up with that for the hours of uninterrupted peace I got (well some of it was still interrupted, but still). So, if you don't have one go get your kids an Emergency blanket, you can find them in the camping section at Walmart.
Since the boys were entertained, I had time to make these supercute pants for Eli. I bought this fabric months ago (it has elephants on it in case you can't tell) from the remnants bin and had no idea what to do with it, so when I came across a baby pants tutorial I thought it would be perfect! They are flannel, so they'll be great for jammies, Rowan's already requested some of his own- luckily he wants shorts, cause I don't have enough for pants for him.

Adorable!
I saw a pattern on a crafty blog for a toddler dress made from a bandanna. You know, in case you're bored and you need to make something for a toddler girl. With red hair. Who needs a cute bandanna dress.
Hhhmm a toddler girl with red hair- trying to think if I know one....
Do you know where you saw it? Send it to me and I'll check it out- I would love to try a dress!
I lied. It's a skirt. Her blog makes me want to be crafty.

It's really cute! I don't think I have any bandana's or I might be tempted to try it right now :)
I really need to spend less "free" time online and more sewing......
I bet I have something I could make into a dress. I saw a rainbow brite sheet set at a garage sale and thought if I had a girl I would have totally bought it and made something- I should have bought it anyway!!
I'm totally get a couple of emergency blankets. And the pants...whoa, I love elephants.
