Little Girl Apron and Potholder
Went to visit my sister last month and she created a pattern for this adorable child’s apron! We found the cutest fabric at Craft Warehouse to make it and man did it turn out cute….. So I decided to make a little hot pad to match. I entered it in the Prudent Baby pot holder contest in hopes of winning a brand new sewing machine!! They featured my pot holder on their site! Love it!! And as soon as the apron was complete my little girl just had to put it on and bake something! So we made some sugar cookies to celebrate Valentine’s Day coming up!

Homemade Baby Spider Costume!
This is a super easy homemade spider costume for baby!! This is what you will need….Black hooded sweater, black pants, soft black material that matches (enough for 4 legs and a back), pillow stuffing, flat back googly eyes. You’ll need a sewing machine and a needle and thread. I cut the legs out of fabric, about the size of the arms on the sweater, sew them together and sew a circle at one end (that part is completed in the picture below). Then you will cut a big circle for the back. First stuff the legs with stuffing, and sew them onto the back of the sweater 2 on each…
