In an attempt to keep my hands busy

Beacuse of having to be planted on the couch for Extended amount of timeI have become Exceedingly restless. No I am pretty sure its not nesting because with AlixZander at least, my house was rearranged every 2-3 days and so far No furniture has been moved. BUT I have felt the need to do SOMETHING evolving my hands, I started out Crocheting, I made 2 blankets (one for my baby one for my sisters) 2 pairs of booties (same thing one for me and one for my sister) and a Hat for my baby. When I finished that I cross-stitched a birth announcement for AlixZander, Yes I know its 2 years late but better late than never and I bought one for both kiddos so I decided I had better make his first. So that is what I have Completed so far!

Currently I am working on another cross stitch pattern but I need to get a ring to hold it because it is a stamped cross-stich and I need something to hold it tight. I am also working on sewing a bringing home baby outfit for baby brother because apparently I am being extremely picky this time around. so far I am done with the Hat and the Diaper cover, the pants need elastic in the waist, the shirt needs facing and snaps, and I need to make the other bootie. I am also working on decorating some burp rags for me, my sister, and a Friend so far some of them are at least pinned and one is bout 1/8th of the way sewn together (to show jonathan that I was not insane and my Ideas will work.... well at least most of them)

I typically work on them while AlixZander is napping and after he goes to bed and I am waiting for Jonathan to get home from work. It has been a great experience so far and hopefully something I can continue for years to come!!

Nubunz First impressions

I have finally been able to use my Nubunz that I Ordered. I ordered 2 Diapers Both were from the Factory Secconds list and so they only cost about 6$ each.

I ordered an Apple green snap and a Orange velcro one the colours remind me more of Lime Green and tangerine. They come with 2 inserts that compaired to the couple of Bumgenious ones I have they are about 1 and 1/2 inch shorter

But with the "Anti Bunching seam it dosent make much of a Difference

and they do not have snaps for adjusting the size for making the diapers smaller.

I stuffed each diaper with only one liner to see what would happen. The first diaper did not leak at all, but the seccond one leaked but it was my fault as DS had Drank 2 sippys of juice one of water and went down for a nap. today I am going to try napping with a fresh diaper and 2 liners to see what happens.

They Fit my DS so much better than the BG OS that I have... Granted they are already 2 kids old and need new velcro But my DS is 2 yrs old and weighs about 35 lbs and is built like a football player!!

but first impressions are I LOVE them Both the snap and the Velcro ones stay on my DS very well where the BG comes undone very easy(hopefully fixed with new velcro)

I will be adding pictures as soon as I can figure out how!! If anybody has any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer them!
