Day 81

The colorful tops of the towers Gabe and I built. He really just wants the tunnels underneath- they’re great for driving toy cars through.

Day 70

The power went out. The bad weather had long since passed. Unfortunately, not extremely unusual on Progress Energy (and they want rate hikes again- ugh).

But, at least it was a good day for it- as long as we stayed near a window, the breeze kept us comfortable. Gabe and I played with part of his massive collection of Matchbox cars on one side of the room, while Gwen and their dad played on the floor by the sliding glass doors.

Day 57

Check it out- I… um… I mean, my son… got some new Automoblox in the mail today! Seriously the coolest little toys ever. He just loves these things. And he lets us play with them sometimes, too- one of the perks of being a parent. !

Day 56

A fun little rattle for baby girl, whipped up from one of my new sewing books, Sweet Booties!: And Blankets, Bonnets, Bibs & More. It has some really cute projects- I can’t WAIT to do the cute ruffled bloomers on the front!

Gwen has a cute little ball with fabric tags that she likes to chew on, but, she isn’t quite up to holding onto to it for long, so I added a few more as a tail to this toy. It should be a little easier for her to grasp.

I love that my sewing machine has opened up so many fun crafts! Yay!
