Where did I go???

Well it's been a really long time since I have sat down here to post anything. I worked my tail off on that big toy order and got all 105 bags done a week earlier than I thought! Now I have no ambition to make any more for a while!!

We had a nice visit from our Canadian family for the Greek festival that was in town here. My kids really enjoyed going to that and spending time with their cousins. We wished you guys lived closer!

Let's see what else has been going on here.... Trying to find some sort of warm weather has been frustrating. You kind of never know what to wear because you add clothes in the morning and then take some off mid day and then put them back on later! Oh and I can't forget spending the evening in our local Urgent Care with my 7 year old. We thought we would do something fun and take the boys out on a bike trail near our house and he took a nasty fall. Cut up his arms pretty bad and had to get some stitches. He already popped a stitch open today too, ugh! BOYS!!

My middle son "graduated" from preschool which was very cute. I can't believe that he is going on the bus in a few months and off to kindergarten.

Things have been busy but over all very good! Only one more full week of school and then I feel like summer can actually begin.

Well I can hear the youngest child dumping lot's of toys out in the next room so that is my clue to wrap this post up. :D

I spy bags!!!

Sorry that I have MIA for a little while now. We were gone all last week having a great time in Virginia. Then it took a week to recover and get back into the swing of things around here.

I have to tell you that I am so excited about a possible order that I just heard about. I have been making those I spy bags for my son's speech therapist and it's been a good little business. She has been using them as gifts and many of the therapists have ordered ones to use with their "kids". We have custom designed some of them to fit certain kids speech needs like a whole bag full of "S" words and so on. The other thing that we have found is they are great for children with Autism. They really enjoy the sensory part of them being able to move the soft fleece around and find the hidden treasures inside.

Well I was thrilled when I heard that the owner of the speech center wants 100 of them!! Here I had just started making them for kids to keep them entertained at doctor visits, car rides, shopping trips, etc.

I need to get these on my Etsy site too. They are a fun little toy to keep on hand and make great gifts!

I Spy Bag

I've been wanting to make one of those I spy bags for kids for a while now and finally got around to it today. We have been having major printer issues so I had to wait for ANOTHER print head to arrive from Kodak until I could use it.

I will definitely say that this was a good trial bag. I will have to make some changes to make these for anyone else in the future! It's okay for my kids though and they had fun playing with it. I ended up just using some fabric that I had here and it bled through the iron on paper. Next time I will not use that or use a solid colored fabric. What can I say, you don't know until you try!

And on another note, if Spring doesn't get here SOON and get rid of all of the sickness in my house, I think I might seriously loose my mind. Just thought that I would tell you all what I was thinking about at the moment. :D
