I'm back....

October is always a crazy month around here. Not to mention that we have 5 birthdays in our family in this month. Big G turned 8, I can't believe it. I actually can't believe I have an 8 yr old, I don't have babies anymore I have kids. So... Sad.

Anyway, I have been busy sewing. Sewing 20 Chair Pockets (cozies) for G's class. I got the pattern from Sew Spoiled. This has taken most of my time, I deliver them tomorrow and hope to get started on Christmas stuff soon. I can't believe it is almost November. Time is getting away from me.

I made these great "healthier" treats for G's class tomorrow. The school is pushing no sugar which is great. On the other hand, my husband has nicknamed Lil's preschool as "Candy School". I got the recipes for the spiders and pumpkins from Family Fun. I can always find fun stuff to do there with the kids. The spiders are two Whole Wheat crackers, then spread peanut butter and stick in the 8 pretzel stick legs, 2 raisins for eyes. Super easy and Fast.


Even faster, were the pumpkins. Just get a sun-dried tomato tortilla, spread on some cream cheese or whatever you like, roll it up and slice. Stick a toothpick in it with some cilantro or parsely for the stems. I love food with a theme!!

Jack O Lantern Skort

I bought 1 yard of this Jack O Lantern fabric last year. I have been just waiting to find something that I could do with it. I still have a ton of green gingham thanks to an ordering mistake that I made 3 years ago!!! I am definitely a fabric junky. Anyway, I got 3 skorts made out of this fabric. One for M, one for Lil and one for my neice! Then I embroidered their t-shirts. I have gotten my money out of this Children's Corner pattern, Sarah's skort. I make this easy pattern all the time. M wore it to school today. Now, I just have to figure out how to get all the stains out of her shirt so she can wear it again for the Kindergarten pumpkin patch. I guess mama should have checked the schedule to see that she had art today!
