April Day 35: Deere Farms

Today we took the boys out to Deere Farms. They had a big time bouncing in the bounce pumpkin, playing in the corn box, climbing the tire tower, sliding down the culvert slide, running through the hay bale maze and going on the hay ride. Henry especially loved all the tractors. I took a lot of pictures some of which can hopefully be used for my job if we need them but this one is by far my favorite of the day.

April Day 33

I stopped into Target today to buy a new nursing top and checked out the colorful socks that I like for the Rabbit Boys. Alas, they were clearance-ing them out and there were only 3 pairs of crazy knee socks left. If only I had been there a few days ago I could have stocked up. That's the way it goes though, you find a store that carries something you like and then they quit carrying it.

April Days 30-32

Over these 3 days I have been working on a Christmas present. With that being said I can only post a teaser picture as I do not know who looks at this blog. I will say it involved Mod Podge, acrylic, and my Silhouette Cameo.

April Days 26, 27, & 28: Rabbit Boys

The past 3 days I have been sewing together the 4 blue Sock Rabbits, stitching the nose and mouth on them, and sewing on the button eyes. One of the argyle ones is for my niece Secily. I hope she likes it. The striped one is made differently. It is made with calf high socks instead of knee socks so the legs were separate pieces. You could easily put beans or something in it to weight it and it would sit very nicely.

April Day 24: By George I think I've got it!

With a few tips from Becca, rewatching a YouTube video and studying some diagrams- the crochet thing finally clicked and I figured out why my crochet didn't look right at all. Here is a little square I did.

April Day 23

This is just a mock up of an invitation for Kate's 1st birthday. Becca requested a little help in trying to figure out how she was going to tackle it.
