Shamrock Onesie

Only 2 more days until a new month- March! Time just flies by. 

The other day I decided to make Weston a shamrock onesie so he can wear it a few times next month for Saint Patrick's Day. 

All you need is Steam a Seam 2 Fusible Web:

And the shamrock template: (print the size you would like, trace on the fusible web paper, iron on opposite side of fabric and cut out)

Peel off back of shamrock paper and iron on onesie!

Tada!

Then I realized that this shamrock looked really boring. So I sewed a few colored buttons on it. 

Weston loves his new shirt!! :)

Kisses from W!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

It is hard to believe that last year Weston was this little...

And this year he is this big!

Today Weston wore a special onesie that I made for him for Valentine's Day! 

These appliques are SO easy to make! All you need is double sided fusible web (I used Steam-A-Seam2) and fabric! The directions on how to do it is right on the package. Seriously it is fast and easy. :) Click on the image below, save it to your computer, and print as a full page if you would like a copy of the truck template that I made. I have seen where the truck is holding a tree at Christmas time. Maybe a carrot or eggs would be cute on the back of the truck for Easter! ;)

super cheap & easy leg warmers

I love leg warmers on babies!! Weston's knees are always so red now that he is crawling ALL OVER THE PLACE! So I thought it was time to try out leg warmers. Check out the website My Little Legs. They have some pretty cute leg warmers and some of them are on sale for $5 which I do not think is that bad at all (especially with free shipping). In the meantime, I decided to take the super cheap way and make my own. I found really long socks on clearance at Target for $1.75 a pair. Then, I cut them the length that I wanted for W's legs and.... easy peasy! I tried to hem them and it was just not working. After one wash/dry it will curl up on the ends and you will  not even need to hem them!!! So much easier! 
Guess I will be stopping back at Target to pick up the other socks that would look cute as leg warmers!

This weekend, Chad's cousin got married. She had her reception at his/their grandparents farm. It was beautiful. Will post some pics soon. Her husband danced with his mom to Taylor Swift "Never Grow Up". Wow. I cried my eyes out! Now that I have Weston... life has changed so much. Listen to this song if you get a chance. Absolutely beautiful. Tearjerker!
