Great walks, flat tires & business opportunities

Random title for a post huh?  That title pretty much sums up my day until about noon. 
Tuesdays are one of my favorite days of the week.  Jeremy & I get to get up and go walk with Pa and his mommy.  I remember when I first wanted to run with her (we did run at one point...but now she's expecting #2 and we've slowed down a bit) I was super intimidated because she was always posting on Facebook about runs she did or how far...I thought "woah...I'm not going to be able to keep up!"  But I could, and a cherished time in my week has now been carved out for our walks.  We talk business (she owns E-Marie Designs...fantastic stuff), faith and a lot about our boys. 
Today, and last Tuesday actually, I had a flat tire.  Last week I bought a new tube and had it installed and pumped up...today...same tire, totally flat.  UGH!  So, instead of getting to play at the park for a long time, Jeremy and I had to take our limping stroller to the bike store and get the tire fixed, again.  Hopefully this will be the last time for a while and I can make it two weeks without having to go see them...or I'll become a regular at the bike shop. 

I sent an e-mail yesterday to a super cute children's boutique.  They responded and want to meet in person to see some of my blankets!  I am so excited, and so nervous!  I am going to make a few more cot blankets & car seat blankets with the letters in the corners to take and show them...Do you have any favorites??

Speaking of cot blankets.  Here are the pictures of the blanket for Mr. P.  I am so excited for him to pick it up tonight!  It's probably one of my new favorites! 

Cot Blanket #3...We are excited about that at our house!

I am finished!  Mr. P will get his blanket this week! Pictures will come tomorrow!!

I'm thrilled that this is finished & I get to give the blanket to his mommy!  Thank you for waiting so patiently!!  

Jeremy can't wait for Mr. P to get his blanket!

Cot Blanket #2

I finished the blanket for Miss L today.  This one gave me some trouble, but turned out super cute & I am pleased to say that it is done. 
If I didn't have the troubles I did (think ripping the same seam over & over again because I sewed it wrong), I would have had the entire blanket done during Jeremy's nap.  But, I managed to sew squares onto the wrong places, in the wrong order, & crooked...so when Jeremy woke up, I couldn't very well leave him in his room whimpering for an hour while I finished.  So, I got him up and had a crazy baby playing hide & seek in the blanket & whining to climb up into my lap.

What is a mommy to do?  

Blue's Clues.  Something about that show puts Jeremy into a state that causes him to freeze and stare.  It's magic. 

This was my view for most of the show.  It's magic!

On any other day, I would have packed up my sewing stuff and called it a day.  Not today.  I was determined to get this blanket done.  And I did. 

Cot Blanket #1

Today I finished the first Cot Blanket.  

Cot Blankets are bigger than a regular WeeWants.  

Perfect for the preschooler who wants their own blanket at school for nap time.

They can personalized with the child's whole first name, or just their first initial.  You decide!  

Visit my Etsy shop and place or order today (or e-mail me at weewants@gmail.com)

Fits perfectly on a nap time mat!  Love Target's post-back to school sales...$2.50!

I love the fun robot print! 

 Thanks Jill Addington for spreading the word to your friends about WeeWants!!

Sorting, sobbing & sewing.

I've been waiting to take out the letter magnets for Jeremy until I thought that he wouldn't just put them in his mouth or just throw them around the house and not put them on the refrigerator.  Today was the day.  I took them out, put them on the fridge door & immediately he started to pull them down and...toss them around.  Fortunately, they stayed in the kitchen and did not make their way under the refrigerator...at least not yet.  He had a muffin tin out of one of the other cabinets & without any prompting from Mommy, started to put the letters in the cups.  Sorting already...he is a boy after my own heart! 

This kept him busy for about 10 minutes.  Then it was time for Mommy to pick him up...while she was trying to make dinner.  He can sense when I have to do something that requires two hands and then decides that is the exact moment he needs attention.  I also happened to have the camera in the kitchen (doesn't everyone have the camera while they're making dinner?) and was able to capture the ridiculousness that is Jeremy being upset.  Hard not to giggle huh? 

 

 Before all of the silliness documented above, I was able to get a blanket finished.  It's the blanket a friend is having made for her friend who is going through chemo.  I am so excited to hear what she thinks about it and I hope that it helps her warm up during her treatments!

All ready to be picked up!

Tomorrow's agenda: cot blankets.  Stay tuned.
