Asleep in the Mei Tei

Thanks Sarah! We love using our Mei Tei carrier everywhere we go!!!! Our day at the Living History Farms would have been harder with a stroller, but with the Mei Tei I knew where Danica was, and I also knew that she was able to see everything. However, by the end of the day, she was so worn down, she crashed while being worn around.

Danica loves this wrap so much that I find myself wearing her while cooking dinner. At least I know where she is and I know that she isn't getting into anything that she's not supposed to. :)

Pillow Case Dresses (More)

Here are the rest of my pillow case dresses I made. On two of them I just turned the top down to make a casing, but I used bias tape on the one of them. For the ties I used bias tape as well, but though to do a couple threads of yard for the other one that was reddish in color. They all turned out really cute. I also put a picture of Danica wearing hers as well. We went to the Science Center, and I got compliments from mothers there. They really liked her dress, and when I told them I made it they were shocked. If I make Danica another one, I am not going to make it so long, and then I am going to make the top go down just a bit, so it's not so close to her throat. I'm hoping by this summer it will fit her better. Then, if she doesn't grow much waist wise, I am hoping it will fit her again next summer.

Pillow Case Dresses

I decided to make some pillow case dresses to help out a friend of mine who is sending them to Africa. I have one made, and it's the white dress with pink on the bottom. I have two others that are needing to be sewed together. If you want to know more about Little Dresses for Africa, click here.

I couldn't resist, I had to make one for Danica. Although, I didn't use a pillow case, I used just plain cotton material for her, and sewed it up like a pillow, and then made it. I got both of these dresses done in about an hour and a half. Not too bad. Tomorrow I will have Danica wear the dress, and I will post more pictures of her in it.

Soft Soled Shoes

I got some of this sweet fabric from Sarah. It's very metallic looking, but is soft on the inside. Well, I've been wanting for some time to make Danica a pair of shoes that are like the Robeez Shoes. Because, let's just say it, those shoes are so expensive! I bought her some on craigslist for $4 a piece, and that was a bargain!

I knew that I could make these, I just had to figure out how. So I got my fabric all cut out, and voila! I must say I think I did a pretty good job for the first time! The shoe has two soles, the bottom sole is yellow fleece, lined with a white suede cloth. The top of the fabric is that metallic color lined with white suede cloth. The heel is also that metallic fabric, but instead I lined it with orange suede cloth to spice it up a bit. There's a lot of layering in this shoe, but I hope that it will hold up for a while with all of it.

Now, off to make shoe #2! I have only made one so far. But Danica has two feet so I better get sewing! I will update with a picture of her in these later on!

New Etsy Account

I've decided to set up an Etsy Account, and start listing some items that I make to sell. I have set up a link to my blog as well, so all you have to do is click on it, and it will take you to my store. I haven't posted anything in my store yet, but am hoping to do so in the next week or two. I need to get all my pictures rounded up, and make descriptions for them all.

I hope you will check it out! Tell your friends about it as well! I have labeled it on my blog Wheeler Creations, but you can find it by wheelerde, which is my username. Here is my website also, http://wheelerde.etsy.com

DINO Pajama Pants

I got some material for free from Sarah at www.wallypop.net. I have this DINO print, and figured Jeremiah would love a pair of new pajama pants. He is currently wearing them right now, and he doesn't want to take them off!!! It's too cute! I've been making so many things for Danica lately. I knew that Jeremiah needed some things also. Oh, and according to him, I am the "best" pants maker ever!

Testing the Soakers

It's hard to get a good picture of a toddler with the new soakers I made. She is always on the go! The green soaker is the size large, and the pink striped one is the extra large. I must say, when I made the extra large I thought it was going to be WAY too big. But it's not too bad. I know that it will fit her for a long time to come, so that's good. Plus, isn't that tooshie cute! Who couldn't resist taking a picture. Hehehe!!!
