Yep, I’m off to Craft Camp at Skip to My Lou today…

and I’m sharing how to make easy Marshmallow Shooters with the kids.

They are the most fun you can have with PVC pipe, guaranteed.

Come on over for the tutorial and join in the fun.

I have a new baby niece born last week.  Little miss Lauren Jane is the sweetest thing, with a head of soft brown hair and looking just like my lovely sister-in-law.

For a gift, I made her a car seat cover from the tutorial I made in January.

The fabric was too sweet for words with racoons, birthbaths, birdhouses, and little birds in the trees.  I fell in love.

Does anyone know what this fabric is called?  And from whom?  I cut off the selvages when I bought the fabric and didn’t write it down.

Making my first car seat cover for a little girl, I was compelled to embellish a bit more.  So I added the rick rack.  It helped the fabrics work together just they way I wanted.

For the inside fabric, I used a tender little floral print in pink.  I was so happy with how it turned out.

Since I’m posting about car seat covers, I thought I would also share the cowboy car seat cover I made for my dearest friend, and her new little boy born in April.  I gave it to her months ago, but never shared a picture.

This Alexander Henry cowboy fabric is so darn cute.  I’ve used it before, and I would use it again if I could.  I made a border all the way around the top, which turned out great.  One of the things I love about making this cover, is as long as the overall dimensions end up the same, you can do whatever suits your fancy.

If you have a new baby in your life, a baby car seat cover makes a very useful and thoughtful gift.
