So that prompted me to start pulling stuff out of storage...the first thing being our infant car seat. Then after wiping it down, I realized that I really wanted a pink car seat for our little girl. That led me to researching car seat covers online...and I seriously found them ranging from $65-$120. THAT'S ABSURD!!!!
Well, that started me into craft-mode. I dismantled the car seat cover we have, made my own pattern, and set off for JoAnns. After debating forever between two main materials, I ended up settling on this one:
Super cute, right??? :-)
So I got all my materials (Velcro, elastic, material, ribbon, and thread) and ended up paying only $28.31 (with my 40% off coupon)! I was pretty psyched. Until I got home and realized I got 2 1/2 YARDS of material when I really should have gotten 2 1/2 FEET... so I'm a moron and got three times as much as I needed. I re-calculated and found out my entire car seat project really should have only cost me $17. But oh well. I can't wait to get started and post pictures!!!
(Also, I realize this doesn't get me any closer to being ready for the baby. If anything, it sets me back. But that's how my crazy pregnant brain is working these days!)

I really like that fabric :)
Also, we're needing some car repairs, and I remember you always talking about some great place. Can you send me that information? I'd really appreciate it!
Now you have enough fabric to make a matching blanket or something! I'm impressed with your skillz!
Cute! I love the pattern. You're so crafty. You'll just have to make her a matching dress to go with it. Then, she'll be camoflauged in her car seat. LOL
Bah ha ha ha... pregger's brain. I swear that's a real medical condition. Love the fabric... I have an apron I made with that as the accent. I totally support!
ooooh the adorable things you can make with the rest of that cute fabric. you will not be sad you bought too much on accident :) :)
Very cute :) I hope your friend & her family are doing well.
You do know that Steve dumped me on my big ol' butt last Wednesday, right? I mean, I don't mind you reading if you still want to... I just figured that you wouldn't want to since that was why you did in the first place :P
If you still want to read, I will definitely add you. Just don't feel pressured to say you do, hah.
Definitely better to have too much rather than too little. :) Now you can make yourself a matching diaper bag to hang off the back of the stroller. :)
