cold, cold days...

It's getting cold...

When the cold comes I don't want to do anything productive. Typically I just want to curl up in a ball and avoid everything that is outside of my blankie. Instead of anything productive, I've been making new things, and playing with Owen. I now consider these "productive days."
Though, they're not.... not REALLY!

We haven't been up to much. Owen has his first little cold, so we've been staying home. So, to post some cute pictures of Owee, I thought I'd share some things I've made with you.
After I got a grip on the sewing machine Chad asked me to hem some pants for him. I saved the scraps from them and made myself a headband/ear warmer....

I made flowers out of some old t-shirts... and tada!
And, for Owen I made another pair of pants...




I fell in love with this old man fabric, houndstooth is my thing lately. Plus, it's super soft! I added knee pads this time, I like the way they turned out!!




I haven't decided the best way to wear it yet... hair up, hair down...?
But, it is kind of fun. And... I have worn it a few times.




Okay... enough of my LOVELY pictures.




Lets move on to a much cuter model :)





I also made the shirt. Another old man throw back... suspenders.
I LOVE this shirt.
He wears it all the time!










MUCH cuter model... the cutest, I would say!
I'll try to share more "productive" items at a later date.
Most of them are presents, so you'll have to wait until after Santa comes!
