With so much time on my hands...

... my hands have been busy!


Lyla and I had worn out our old diaper bag... extremely. So we decided to make a new one! This was from an online pattern I found. Super easy and very cute. One draw back... much smaller in real life than it looks online. Bummer. But it is still fun, and I made a baby sling to match it. Lyla loves to be held and cuddled still, and now that I'm expecting she seems five times heavier... so the hip carry in the sling is a huge life saver for me!

I also ran into some key limes at my mother-in-laws... and they were begging to go into a delicious pie! This pie was quite delicious, even Jesse (who doesn't like sweets) ate two slices. I kind of frankensteined a few recipies from online, but it turned out great, and the meringue was so pretty, and didn't even shrink that much... in fact it kinda grew while cooking! That's a first!

And lastly these are not my hands, but that of my sweet girl! She kept herself very busy while I made my pie... she learned to climb onto chairs and into drawers all the while I was whipping up a pie. She truely learns at lightning speed all the sudden. She was even "putting" together a wooden puzzle on the floor. That consisted of taking all the pieces off, and then piling them all back on the board... not neccesarily in the spot they go.

Can Lyla and I just say... WE LOVE NO SCHOOL!

It sounds like you are having fun. I guess I just need to keep sending over ideas for things for you to do. Especially since you have all that fabric to use up. Keep having fun!!
