Table Runner

I saw a pattern for a 10 minute table runner. It seemed like a fun, quick project and I wanted something to decorate our table in the kitchen. I tried making it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised that it really took only 10 minutes!  I think I will add some buttons to the end for a little bit of extra flair, but other than that, it's all done!

A is for apple!

Ok, even though Evelyn is only 10 1/2 months old I wanted to start working on her alphabet. I like putting a little bit of structure in our days and giving her different things to play with and think about.  I decided to make magnetic letters for her to play with.  I just finished the first one yesterday and she's already playing with it.

It helps that I put it on the dishwasher and she already loves the dishwasher.  I plan to put different pieces of paper under the magnet with images of things that start with the letter A.  Either that or just let her play. She's figured out that it's a magnet and can stick to certain things, but she hasn't quite figured out how to do it successfully each time.
