Ribbon Toy/Sippy Cup Holders on Etsy :)

I don't know wether I timed this right or not! I have my parents arriving for a visit tomorrow for a month :) They are coming over to meet thier Great Grandson :)

I had some spare time this morning while hubby was out. Instead of cleaning I made some more holders, photographed them & opened a Etsy account! Have i gone insane, or do I think I can juggle visitors, taking care of Monkey & watching Etsy!! We will soon find out :)

If you don't see me on much posting over the next month, then it's because it's all getting to me!!

Emmitt was 10 months old yesterday :)

As I was busy over at their house yesterday, I am only getting to post about Emmitt being 10 months old now! He wasn't a very happy boy as you can see by this picture :(



He's getting over a ear infection, a little cold & teething. Poor Monkey. I wanted to take a few different pictures. In this one, his Mommy said he looks nearly as big as me!! I think he will be carrying me around soon.



I think this one turned out to be my favorite. It's not easy taking a picture with one hand & not seeing how it is going to look!



This was one of the few moments when he wasn't crying yesterday, but in the second picture you can see he's not happy.





The bottle was the only thing making him feel better yesterday & helping him to sleep too :)



I could hold this precious little man like this all day & look into those beautiful brown eyes! I so love my Monkey :)

New & Improved Toy/Sippy Cup Holders!!

I have been hard at work over the weekend, making these baby safe! Other people notice things you don't always think of! Thanks to a friend pointing out to me, that the larger loop a baby could put their head through. Thank goodness they pointed that out!!

I have shortened the length, they can still be attached to a stroller, baby seat, or hang from the coat hook in the car. Now to get the word out about these pretty but practical ribbons :)

An extra snap has been added which isn't shown. That can wrap around the sippy cup to fasten it in place.

If any of my blogging friends would like to share about these ribbons, please do!!

Snapz Ribbon Baby Toy Holders!

I have come up with a name for my new creations! I have also made some new ones, with a better ribbon. These can hold toys or a sippy cup on the stroller, baby can't throw the sippy cup on the ground & get it dirty!

It can hold a toy on the stroller or car seat. Hang a toy from the coat hook in the car. Baby can reach the toy, it doesn't get lost & baby is screaming for it while your driving!

If you know of anyone who might be interested, please have them get in touch with me!! I would love your input too :)

Ribbon Baby Toy Holders :)

I have been getting fed up of trying to find baby links or things that will hold a baby toy hanging from the stroller, or from the coat hook in the car. I decided to make my own! The first one didn't work as I used velcro & Emmitt just pulled them off!! These are now held with snaps & I have put buttons on the front to cover where the snaps are stitched on. I made 4 so far I know the pinky one is for a girl, but you never know if someone might like them!!





I'm going to make more & hopefully sell them on Etsy!

What's your favorite home cooked meal :)

Hi my blogging friends. In the next 3 weeks my parents are coming to visit from the UK for a month. They are coming out to meet their Great Grandson. Here is a picture of my parents when they were over in 2006.



What i was hoping is if you could all share your faorite recipe. I will need to have menu's for the 4 weeks. I have my favorites, but it would be good to incorporate yours too!

Planting & growing :)

Normally when I get some free seeds through the mail, they don't always grow! I had some free seeds come back in January. Two weeks ago I planted them all in one pot on the deck. Low & behold they started sprouting!!



This morning I started transplanting some of them into 2 pots. Once they get a bit more sturdy I want to put them in the garden :)



When I was in Sam's Club last week I saw a bag of 30 bulbs. They were Caladium plants which have different colored leaves. The only problem is you won't know until they grow, what you have planted! I have already put 4 outside in a circular flower bed. I planted 5 more today in pots.



Hopefully once they are all flowering & the plants arre showing their glorious colored leaves I will be able to post & show you!!
