Because I Can't Sit Still...

I told you I've been craving projects. I don't know if it's just because I've been feeling better over the last few days compared to a couple weeks ago, or if I'm nesting (I am after all officially in my last trimester). Either way, I've been keeping busy with these projects. Though slightly out of order in when I finished them, here are the most recent of my completed projects.

1. A superhero cape for Ethan. The other day he took the blanket out of his baby sister's crib and wrapped it around him and said he was a "su-er-tero" (that's how it sounds when he says superhero). I thought that maybe I should make him a cape myself and found a great tutorial online yesterday and whipped it up in a couple hours. He loved it when it was done, but when Ben came home and put it on Ethan didn't want to wear it anymore because he thought it was more fun when Dad did. No worries though, he's back to wearing it himself today.





2. New burp cloths for the baby. If this baby is anything like Ethan was, she'll be going through plenty of burp cloths. I wanted something more than the thin diaper cloth rags I had from last time so I decided to make them a little cuter with some flannel backing. Once again, I found a tutorial and ran with it. They're pretty gender neutral so if they happen to last through this baby I'll be able to use them again.


3. A pillow for the glider. I had a pillow that I loved, but the colors didn't match the new decor so I found this fabric while at JoAnn's yesterday and thought it would be perfect. The pinks and greens will go with her bedding, while the brown will tie in with the cherry crib and vanity.


4. A cucumber. This has been my longest project yet! Geesh. My sister and I transplanted the plants to the garden back in early June and 2 months later we get the first fruits of our literal labors. Ok, so this is the 2nd cucumber our garden has produced, but this one is prettier than the last. I'm still not sure as to why our squash will flower and then produce nothing. The flowers will fall, and there is no squash growing. And who knows what's going on with the tomatoes. Seriously. I have no luck with gardens, or maybe since it's been a hot summer it hasn't been so successful.
