Hendrix the stud

just a couple of pictures of Hendrix from Sunday. He looked so cute in his outfit, but I didn't manage to get a great photo. sorry... but he looks handsome anyway

robot box

i made this box for Hendrix's room. it's to store his boy toys... cars, trucks, etc. as soon as he gets some :)
this is more vinyl from my friend, Audra. thanks Audra :)

randoms

just a few pictures from the past few days
hendrix with his hair down.

quinn having a 'ball' in her ball pit


hendrix has discovered Quinn's 'bike' and LOVES it. not that you can tell by this picture. but he pulls himself up on it all day, which is a little dangerous. (he can't get himself ON it... he just pulls himself up to stand by it)

that's what it's all about

quinn singing the hokey pokey

x laughing

Hendrix laughing at Daddy kicking balls back into the ball pit

Quinn and Hendrix

this is just a cute video of Quinn talking to Hendrix. she's great :)

letter puzzle

You are all going to sick of seeing what I've been sewing! This is what I finished today. (also a present for Quinn. Remember the Christmas countdown I made last year?? I put a present in it every day, so I need to have some stuff ready!)
a letter puzzle

she can keep the letters in the bag so they don't get lost (but let's face it, she'll still lose some)

and the bag velcros onto the puzzle

and it folds in half and rolls up

and sorry. i don't have a tutorial link because i made it up myself. which is why it has lots of character :)

Simba

Quinn has been in love with her sock monkey, Simba lately. She sleeps with her and reads her books ALL day. It's super cute. Simba has received so much love she has even had to have a couple surgeries lately (repairs to the seams that have popped open). Quinn lovingly pretends to give her medicine and tell her "it's okay, it's just a little pokey" while I'm sewing her up.

And just so you know, Simba is, in fact, a girl. I had to ask Quinn the other day if it was a boy or a girl. She told me (like it was obvious) that she's a girl. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Simba is a boy name :)

Christmas toys

this is my last post of the day... I promise.
I didn't have to work tonight so I got some sewing done. I swear I all of a sudden have 50 projects I'm working on. Here is Hendrix's car toy that I made him for Christmas. I'll need to buy him some cars :) (if you've never seen one of these, the cars go in pockets that are along the bottom)

And, of course, I had to make Quinn one. I'll try to find little safari animals to put in her pockets.


the whole thing folds in half and rolls up. Great idea, huh? I used this tutorial

hair cut and utensils

hendrix got a haircut this afternoon.

but he was not in the mood for me to be taking pictures. he just wanted me to hold him instead.

i'm so mean sometimes....

and this is what Quinn did while I made dinner tonight.

dirty diaper

I just looked over at Quinn who was PUSHING some potty out. I looked away to give her some privacy, but kept looking back at her because of what it was sounding like behind me (just her effort and breathing...) The last time I looked back at her she says: "What mom? I do this all the time." yep... she's right. She does poop all the time.

hendrix and table runner

the fellas hanging out on the couch after church. yep--he's still at it with his tongue sticking out all the time

I love how these pictures make his hair look CrAzY. it was actually pretty cute today, but it looks silly at this angle (plus a nap..)

don't you just want to squeeze those little cheeks???

I thought it would be fun to make a Thanksgiving table runner. I thought "I don't need a pattern... I can figure it out." It turns out that I did need a pattern. ha. when I was sewing it I thought I might leave it out year-round since the colors match my kitchen even when it's not Thanksgiving. Then once I finished it, I decided it would just be a Thanksgiving one after all.

The batting is the issue. See how puffy it is? Dave said it looked nice and cozy--like he could take a nap on the table. Funny... that was actually my intention all along :)
