I've been busy...

I

finally bought a sewing machine after putting it off for over a year and I have been sewing like crazy! I started with crayon rolls for UNO and DOS, then moved on to a taggie blanket for TRES (I have another taggie in the works too), then this afternoon I made an apron out of a dish towel for DOS (I still want to make one for UNO but I just haven't found the right towel yet) and I plan on making a cape for UNO soon too. I'm still learning and working through glitches so these are no where near being perfect but I'm still having fun and I love making things for my babies!
