where good diggers go....

Pop and I were in Sedona AZ, after Christmas, and the road works were horrendous. But slow traffic means photo ops, and thats what I did. Our little boys would have thought they were in digger heaven if they had been with us. Digger heaven is where all the good diggers go by the way. I will print this picture on my home printer on regular paper in 8x10 size and write a little note on the sky, and pop it in the post. The boys are starting to know what getting mail/letters is all about, so I know that for a short minute they will have fun ripping open the envelope and looking at the picture. Maybe we can even talk about it more on the next phonecall..... oh and a few fun stickers or drawing on the outside of the envelope is a good thing too.

a good nights sleep....

Where did the last month disappear to? Oh maybe I had a trip to New Zealand to visit my 'long distance grandchildren' and then flew back to So Cal waiting for wee Mason Charlie to be born.!!

Let me tell you about these pillowcases. They fit a travel size pillow, which is perfect for travel, HA, and also for little ones at bedtime, to take to daycare, or a friends house overnight......

I took at least 1/3 of the stuffing out of the pillows, so they would be softer to snuggle in to. Each of the children now have a pillow with a fun pillowcase on them. The pattern I purchased from Cozy Cottage fabrics, where I work part-time to pay for my addiction. You can order online here.

They are sooooo easy to make in just a minute. All you need is the focus fabric and some fun accent fabric. Lucas is into dinasours right now, so a dinasour pillowcase will be made for his birthday next month. Its so fun. The little ones in NZ are heading into autumn and winter. I'll make sure they have flannel to be warm and soft against their cheeks.

More on Mason soon...
