I love making something out of nothing.


That is my favorite kind of project.

I was starting to feel bad that my super squishy baby had to sit in such a hard seat.
So I grabbed some scraps from the fabric I used to make curtains for our old kitchen and some batting from who knows what, and stitched up a little cushion for her little back.

I'm not sure how practical it is, but I sure do love the way it looks.

In other news, we are in the middle of a mini-remodel (turning our Arizona room into a laundry room and our laundry room into an office), so look for pictures of that soon.

And tomorrow is Oliver's birthday.
He wants to celebrate at McDonald's.
Bless his heart.

  1. Did you know that one of the McDonalds near you has a water slide? Maybe you could go to that one.

  6. Happy Birthday Oliver!!! Hey, no mess for you to clean up right? Good kid.
    And awesome cushion~ OK. I bought myself a sewing machine so I could do just this kind of thing. I thought that since I took sewing lessons for a couple years as a kid I would pick it right back up. Nope. So one of these playgroup days when either you or me are hosting would you give me a few pointers on the machine?
