Oh Sewing...

I figured I may as well start posting things I've made. I love to sew, even though I am really not the best seamstress. There are a few things I can do well though!

I made a pair of suck/drool pads for my Ergo Baby Carrier a while back. They were......well, they weren't the best but they worked, and they gave my camel colored Ergo a little fun. I thought on what I would do differently for my next pair, but never got around to it. Then a friend asked about some for her Ergo...and I decided it was time to put my thoughts to good use. After using the Google to find different patterns & tutorials, I finally decided to use Marisa Makes: Baby Suck Pads as my guide. Or, one of my guides. I mostly used hers because I liked the size, and that I didn't need to print a pattern (hey, no printer..yet!). I then took what I learned from mine, and entered it into the equation, and woohoo! The top photo I am using my toddler Tula, since I have sold my Ergo! They will work great on either though.

My original pair:

Sorry for not having a good photo of them alone! I have to find them again.

I learned that I don't like terry cloth, or working with it. My new ones have about 4 layers of flannel under the Mickey fabric. 

Next post about sewing will be the cute fabric basket I made. Stay tuned!

COVERGIRL's Bombshell Curvaceous

In my quest to find mascara that doesn't bother nor dry out my eyes, I received the Bombshell Curvaceous in my Influester Surf's Up VoxBox.

I already have long lashes, and when I do wear mascara when wearing my glasses, I get streaks on them LOL good thing I have contacts now!

There ya go. My eyes, with the Bombshell Curvaceous mascara, but only on the top lashes. The bottom ones were WAY too long with it on haha

*COVERGIRL's Bombshell Curvaceous mascara was complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.*
