Weekend Projects

Weekends, for me, mean my hubby and the three oldest children are all outside and I am left in the house with my rambunctious one year old twins. They are very busy and have to be in eye sight at all times, which means I have to stay in the living room. The bad part is I don't get many chores done. The good part is my sewing nook is in the living room (barricaded by baby gates, of course). So I usually get a lot of crafting done on the weekends. I have two projects I'm working on this weekend.

My oldest daughter is CRAZY about horses. I bought this fabric to make her a pillow and a bag for her birthday coming up. I have to work on it in little bits because it is supposed to be a surprise.

I have all the pieces cut out to make my sister-in-law a diaper bag. She requested blue and brown. I didn't realize how hard it was to find cute boy stuff out there. Of course I have one son but he usually doesn't want me sewing for him. I mostly make things for my four girls. I have two nephews and two more on the way this year so they really need to get cuter boy stuff out there.

Hopefully I get all of my projects done this weekend but if I don't, this is why. My two little trouble makers have recently figured out how to push things over to my sewing table so that they can climb onto it. Did I mention they are rambunctious?

They sure are cute distractions though.
