Busy Winter Days

Yesterday we stuck around home and kept ourselves busy.  I had a pile of Ingrid's drawings I didn't know what to do with so we cut them into strips and made a paper chain!  When we take it down after the holidays I'll put it up in Ingrid's room.

We also played with the punching balloons we'd gotten for party favors for our party last week.  Ingrid LOVES these things, so entertaining!

And she helped me wrap her presents.  I like this age where I don't have to hide what we got her.  She thought it was great fun laying on the wrapping paper saying "night night" and drooling everywhere...

I got a lot of sewing done yesterday, I just realized how much.  Not only did I finish the apple quilt, but I finished and listed a few more coffee cup holders on etsy, and I made two little aprons.  They are my next endeavor for my etsy shop, aren't they cute?  I have to take some pics of Ingrid wearing one, she looks adorable.  Of course.

I like your paper chain! The aprons are very cute, and would work really well for a boy or girl.

That's what I was thinking, maryanne, they're not frilly so if I do some in neutral fabrics they could go either way. I might have to try some super girly frills and rick rack ones, though, too :)

Old drawings make great paper chains! We used some of sunnyboy's old paintings for some of ours. How fun for Ingrid getting to wrap her own presents. :)

I love the aprons, and the quilt is beautiful. You'll have to help me when I'm ready to start my first quilt. I'm such a lazy sewer, I just want to get it done, and it always turns out retarded.
