Playing catch up...

I'm already behind on my posts and I've only been trying for 5 days, it might take me some time to get this down :) We had a fun weekend down in St James, We got to hang out with Grams all weekend, breakfast with some family Saturday morning :) I busted into a craft I've been thinking of doing since I had the basics to what I needed I started my first ever diaper wreath, it was alot of fun to put together, I still have to add all the trinkets to it. So I think I will attemp to add in my first pictures of how I made it :) It was pretty easy once I decided how I wanted to do it :) I had one package of size 1 diapers, I used the target brand because everyone I know that is preggers right now is having a boy and they are just too cute for words :) I ended up making three of them in total, the first one I made I used a 10 inch styrofoam wreath and the other two were 12 inch. The 10 inch one took 13 diapers and the 12 inchers took 15 diapers each. So here is what I started with.

To Start you open your diaper and place it around the wreath at the fold, then use ribbon or string or whatever you have on hand and tie it as close to the wreath as possible, I double knotted mine, then adjusted the ribbon and knotted it one more time.

continue until you cover the entire wreath, and of course if you absolutely must pause for a moment to photograph the handsome cutie that is helping you :0)


And now all I have left to do is add a few personal baby items, once I finish them I will post pictures again :)
Saturday evening we went to check out my "little" brother and his family's new house, he was busy being "crafty" you know how men are, get a house rip it apart :) He had just ripped out the stairs before we arrived and was sheetrocking and building new stairs, luckily his wonderful wife showed us around, I can't wait to go back once its all decorated and put together!
My night mostly went down hill from there, Eliana just cannot seem to kick this cough, it started right after surgery and has just been getting worse and worse, last night she was having coughing fits every 15-20 minutes, which meant no sleep for mamma, and left mamma REALLY missing the comfort of home. Lucky for me Grams didn't wake up durring every coughing fit so she was happy to get up and play some cards with the boys :) Once I finally pulled myself out of bed... I mean Miss L said I could get up ;) I started working on a Bday present for my favorite almost 7 year old girl, It's another fun craft that is perfect for summer comming up, you will have to wait a little while for pictures tho because I think her mamma might sneak over here and peek :0) Before heading home L helped Grams make a yummy batch of home made ice cream, seriously there is NOTHING better in the world than my Grandmother's ice cream... not even dr pepper or ritz crackers, which I could live off of day in and day out :)
