23 pound Payson and I NEED this. His legs are too chunky to comfortably fit in a sling, and I'm loving how easy and adjustable it is. Add it to the list...

Fun wrist corsage project by Dan and friends

This is the corsage Dan made for Brooke. Her dress is cream with black accents.

The boys got together after mutual the other night, with moms and made these flowers and then put them together into wrist corsages for their dates to Homecoming. They are made from chiffon, organza, taffeta, and other various fabrics. They did them using the method we learned from Gretchens blog.
And the links she has on her blog which are here and here.

The boys did almost everything, from choosing fabric, to singing (burning) edges of the fabric for petals with a candle, to creating the bracelets, and then assembling the corsages. The moms really were just there as needle-and-thread directors. It was fun! and it will be easy for the girls to dis-assemble them to wear as hair flowers and as bracelets.

This is Kevin's.

This is (part of) McLain's.

Wall Art

I want to make two of these in the kids' room so bad. I think that it would be fun for them to pick out the fabric themselves and then hang them on their walls by their beds. It is so easy too!! I love it. It would be fun to do one for every season and put up somewhere as well. Maybe I could make a huge one for the kitchen wall above the table...hmm, I will think on that one. The tutorial is over at Blue Cricket.
