Spring break is here.....finally! It has been a long stretch since Christmas and teachers here are so excited to have a week off from work. Did I say a whole week? A week seems like an eternity right now, full of all kinds of fun and possibilities. Since I am a list maker and a "task" oriented person I must make a "to do list" for my spring break. How would I accomplish things if I didn't? Anybody else out there understanding my perspective :) If I list it then you will help me be accountable....right? Ok here it is
1. spend time with my loved ones {that is the easiest to check off}
2. rest a little
3. attend a women's conference
4. catch up on embroidering
5. begin preparing for a summer Bible study
6. bake a little
7. cook a little
8. create something pretty in PSE {PhotoShop Elements}
9. spend more time with my loved ones
10. rest some more
Ok number 4 is looking pretty good. This is an applique made just for hooded towels. It has button holes made to slip a wash cloth into. I did not have a new fresh wash cloth but I did have the end of a hand towel that I had used for another hooded towel. So I cut it a bit and zigzagged the end and it works perfect. It even had pink stripes on the bottom.
I think this is total cuteness.
I normally measure the hand towels 9" for a newborn hood but since Sloan is 14 months I cut it 12". I think the hood is a bit large now will grow with her. If you want to make some adorable hooded towels {designs are still on sale} skip on over to Applique Corner and get a few designs before the sale is over.
Noah's mommy likes giraffes and blue ones with black touches. I searched and searched for a cute giraffe design. This is the one I decided on. I like him but the placement of the eyes is a little off in my opinion. What do you think? and that is not his nose because I left the nose off.
Baby Noah is coming soon
Sweetness
Happy Spring Break
XOXO,
