Shhh!

Between nap time and nursing, I snuck in a little embroidery and sewing...

A little drawstring bag to hold ear plugs. I have this in our guest room. Even if I'm not getting any sleep, maybe our guests still can.

Meet Olivia!

Olivia's got her eye on you!

DIY Vanilla Extract

A while back my friend Jenn shared how to make your own vanilla extract. So back in March we bought some vanilla beans and vodka and started a bottle.

Four months later and the extract was ready to use. We poured some into smaller 4 oz bottles and topped off the large bottle of vanilla with more vodka.

Nesting Bags

I recently had an Etsy order for 30 small nesting bags, in pink.

I'm thinking these must be for a baby shower...

DIY Padded Camera Bag

We recently upgraded our camera from a Canon Powershot to a Canon Rebel T3i.

Make It and Love It shared a tutorial for turning a purse into a padded camera bag, so I gave it a try.

Materials:
Purse or tote bag
1/2" thick foam
Velcro
About 1 yard of fabric

I found a purse with a shoulder strap at a thrift store for $7, and the velcro and foam cost another few dollars. Total cost for this project was around $15.

I went with a solid gray fabric since Zach and I will be sharing this bag, and I didn't want to make it too girly.
