Day 57........

Our wait continues.  I never realized how difficult the wait would be.  Especially when others with a LID after ours already have their LOA.  I am not the best with waiting....at all!!!  During my pregnancies I tried EVERYTHING to get those little ones out of me.....including castor oil and begging them with Ana to try inducing me early(only a week but hey anything was better than nothing).  Nothing worked.  Our kids came at their own timing and with each one it was perfect timing.  I have to just remember that nothing I can do right now will speed this along.  But when I think about everyone being here at Thanksgiving and going to visit family and friends at Christmas I want him here to enjoy and celebrate with us.  The good thing with the holiday season is that it will fly by and before we know it Jan will be here and hopefully we will be traveling to get him!!!

I am trying to stay busy, which isn't hard with the kids.  I've also been crazy about sewing lately.  Loving it and I found a new blog that has tutorials on how to make things......soooooo easy.  She takes you step by step.  I have never really made anything other then sewing key fobs and other items that have just straight line sewing.  This past Sunday I saw a portable DVD case on the site and thought.....that is exactly what I need.  Our's was just in a box.  I had some material left over from the coffee cozies that was quilted and thought, Perfect!!  Now Ben is soooo supportive of me in every one of my silly ideas I come up with but I knew he would think I was crazy.  He just smiles and says yeah that would be great if you could do that....how sweet is he.  I would have been like.....are you crazy how do you think you can sew something like that. 

Anyway.  Like I said her tutorials make things soooo easy.  If I can do it anyone can. She goes step by step.  Here is my finished project and it only took me one day!!!  I didn't have enough material for a strap(I can add that later) and I also had to change the style a bit because of lack of material but it worked out great for what I needed to put in there......

Go check her site out http://www.makeit-loveit.com/.  She has ALL different items and she is big in repurposing items.  My next 2 projects.....make Katie a belt out of all my scrap material and make a hat for Ana and Caleb out of old scarves that I have.  How fun when I can just search my house and find a project.  I LOVE it!!!!

Hope you enjoy or site and it inspires you to bring out some of your creativity.
