Because I am so awesome...or, Westward Ho!!

I spent hours designing and sewing some car seat storage for our upcoming trip. Starting at the top left corner and going clockwise are Mason's, Lincoln's, Sammy's and Elise's. There are two deep pockets on the bottom and 3 shallower pockets on the top, with elastic near the bottom to hold them onto the seats. They were super easy to make, and I was able to use all fabric that I had lying around. There are lots of pieces of curtains in there! :)


I also made some felt crayon rolls for the older kids:


I spent the better part of Friday downstairs sewing, and Elise pretty much ran the household in my absence. She warmed up leftovers for lunch (because I was sewing instead of making bread...), and when I finally came upstairs for something, this is what I found:





Lincoln loves him some beans!

You are incredible, and you are raising one incredible daughter to run things while you were busy! I love these ideas - you are always so creative! I would have no idea how to sew them, but when I see these ideas, it does make me want to try...at some point! :)
