Halloween and Pumpkin Farm

I know these pictures are a month late,

but I've been so busy and my internet

has been super slow, so it was tough to upload.

Enjoy...

Rest in Peace Ireneusz

My cousin passed away last week.

He was only 39 years old.

He was a big guy with a big heart.

And we'll miss him terribly!

Rest in Peace dearest Irek

Baby Tag Pillow

Baby Dominik loves tags.

Tags on clothes

Tags on toys

Tags on anything

So I decided to make him his

very own

Tag Pillow

What I used:

• 2 squares of front and back fabric - jeans and cords
• 4 scraps of coordinating fabric
• 4 or more types of ribbons
• Stuffing Poly

I did not measure anything. Make it as big or small as you want.

Ribbon tags do not have to be equal lengths.

Here are step-by-step pictures...

What do you think?

Last camping trip of the year

We're finally home!

Had a great time camping with my family, but I surely forgot how exhausting camping is. You always think you're going there to relax and be outdoors, but really it's so much work.
It was also the first time my parents have ever gone camping together, ever! They did enjoy it, at least they said they did.
It was my baby boys' first camping trip too, although it was cheated, we slept in the car. Yes, the four of us! It was so uncomfortable to squeeze in 2 adults, an almost 2 year old and a 7 month old onto one mattress in the back of a van.
The rest of the family slept in tents, like normal campers!
Why we slept in the car... I was scared for our babies that it would be too cold... it wasn't.
It was fab!!!

Here are some of my favourite pictures...
