not feeling very bloggy lately...

In case you haven't noticed I haven't been so great on the blog posts lately. It just doesn't seem as though I have a lot to blog about! I'll just give you all an update on the boys how about?

Brayer will be 7 months old tomorrow... where did the time go? He's still not mobile which is more than fine with me. It's great to be ablet o just put him down and know he'll still be there when I get back! His physiotherapist thinks he will probably skip the rolling stage all together and go straight to crawling but who knows! (for those of you who don't know why he sees a physiotherapist, Brayer has a condition called torticollis) Brayer is generally a very happy baby and he is quite content to just watch Kaed and Fable (the dog) run around.

Kaed will be 2 years old next saturday. Again, where did the time go? He's going to have a Thomas the Tank Engine themed party, as he LOVES Thomas. He has two mini Thomas trains that he got from his auntie Shelly last summer and he carts them with him everywhere. And I do mean EVERYWHERE, to bed, outside, the grocery store...

I'm definately looking forward to throwing his party, he loves playing with kids so much now that I know he'll have a great day.

Well there's my updates on the boys! And here are some pictures of my cuties.

they both love books... thankfully!

Kaed really loves pancakes... that's why I make them in bulk

***let me add that the bags below are now in my shop!

and more bags....

I finished up a bag I started last week today and made another one as well! The boys were being sort of easy today so I thought I'd take the chance to get some things done. I'm trying to remember when it was that they used to nap together and wishing they would do it again, but it seems they like to alternate so I haven't gotten in as much sewing and scrapbooking as I'd like in the last while.

a new toy

Last week Kaed found our old skateboards downstairs and after much effort managed to haul them up the stairs. He proceeded to sit on them and scoot around the house for the next 2 days so on Saturday Travis made him this little ride on scooter thing. Needless to say Kaed loves it!

More Christmas Gifts

I realized I still hadn't posted all the gifts I had made for Christmas so I thought I'd do another post since my sister in law took some beautiful photos of some projects. The first is a guitar strap for my brother in law that Travis actually made, and the second is a calendar I made for him. He's a pretty sweet musician so we wanted to make him things that suited him just right. If you want to check out his music you visit his myspace page here, or you can watch a video of him here .



Anyway so the calendar is a page for each of his favorite bands. Rather than show you every single page, here's my 6 favorite.

New Apron

I made a new apron this weekend. I can't decide if it should go in the shop or be given as a gift for a certain someone I have in mind.... hmmm.

new bag in shop.

I put my first bag in my etsy shop! You can check it out here

First Quilt Attempt!

I have started my first every quilting project! In fact this is my first ever patchwork item too. Let's hope it actually turns out. I saw on Sew, Mama, Sew a Doll Quilt project. They are just giving a few steps at a time so I thought it would be a perfect chance to learn. Here's what I've done so far... (and yes, I am behind, no suprise there!)

Fabrics For New Slings

I bought a bunch of fabric for making slings today. For a "hotsling" type of sling I charge $25 plus shipping. I am in the process of opening my own etsy shop (yay!) so hopefully they will be in there soon. In the mean time, send me an email at handmadetherapy@gmail.com if you want to order!

Here are the fabric choices
