This is a project from December... I made this big kid hooded towel for my nephew for Christmas using these instructions.



There are lots of tutorials out there but this resulted in my favorite hood. The towel is just from Target, and I added a monogram on the back.





My sister was kind enough to send along these action shots. I think he likes it!

Ben is taking naps pretty well in his crib now, so I find myself with my hands free and able to spend some time in my craft room!



After some much needed straightening up, I got back to work on the circle quilt for Ben's room. I can't wait to get this quilt done! Of course, this is never far from my side:



(We love our monitor, by the way, if you happen to be in the market...)

I made sugar cookies yesterday, and felt such a sense of accomplishment. It just felt so frivolous! It wasn't laundry, or baby-related, or necessary for nourishing me and my husband (i.e. dinner). I'm also working on repairing a bag for a friend - the magnetic snap on the exterior pocket started to rip out! I have to say this is definitely the most well-used bag I've made, a true test to my construction integrity! And I just got word my Red Barn quilt is ready at the quilter's, so I can't wait to pick that up and get the binding on. Big plans, with a small start...
