Finally pulled out the sewing machine again.

   The crafting urge was really getting to me this weekend, so I decided to make a much needed baby item.  I found a tutorial for a car seat cover from "Make it Do" blog and decided to make one for the little boy coming in about 9 weeks.
   Unfortunately my pregnant brain made this simple sewing project a much more difficult process than necessary.  After much time spent with my seam ripper and many "duh" moments I was able to finish with quite a nice cover.
Here is the fabric we finally decided on.  It says "sweet pea" on the leaf fabric.
 My sewing injury for the day....


The finished product....It works really well on the car seat and should keep the baby boy safe from wind this spring when he comes!!!!


While I was sewing Olivia was playing Picasso on the chalkboard in the loft.  It is really fun to see her make pictures that are somewhat recognizable.  The picture she drew is a snowman with a slinky next to it.
