I've been desperately trying to keep busy while anxiously awaiting Sebastian's arrival. Here are some projects I've done lately.
Hooded Towels.
This is something I've wanted to do for a while now, mostly to cut back on laundry. All our other towels are white and we couldn't keep track of whose was whose. It was one of the easiest sewing project EVER. It took longer to switch out my thread than it did to sew these. Since I used hand towels instead of a washcloths they're huge, but now the boys have plenty of room to grow into them...yeah, grow into their towels. Whatever. They love them. They wear them around the house pretending to be wizards in cloaks.
I'm awesome, but no, I didn't make the blanket, or the chair. Just the pillow. Now the chair is perfect.
Car Seat Cover
I've always wanted one of these but didn't think they were worth $30-$40. I have a friend who felt the same way so one night we got together and tackled the idea. I'm super happy with how it turned out and my cost.....10 bucks! Go me.
P.S. It's not crooked, it just needs to be ironed again since I
washed it.
This is a weird shot, but I wanted to show the underside.
Covered Baskets
This was the first project I did. I also feel like covered baskets are overpriced so when I saw these four baskets for $10 at IKEA, I bought them with the idea to cover them myself. Though each one is different and not even close to perfect, it got me the look I wanted and for less than half the cost. Go me, again.

Wow! You are so crafty! I can't wait to see your new little one whenever he decides to make his arrival. I especially love that car seat cover. One of those would really come in handy.
Wowsers! Go you indeed. All I do when I'm that pregnant is Not Die. You're amazing! I need to make some hooded bath towels--we have several but they're all different shapes and sizes and getting all ratty. I love your kid shower curtain too. Very cute!
Have you ever used the hooded towels with washcloths (barely big enough for a newborn)? I have both and the hand towel is definitely the way to go. Although yours do look extra large... :)
Btw...choosing a name for a child is sooo hard! I would just like to have a girl and use my girl name. How did you ever settle on FOUR names??!!
TWO WORDS... GO YOU!! By the way, I fixed the straps on my carseat cover. Don't know why I ever stressed about it. Took me like 4 minutes. ;0)
