Mommy's Creations....

  Well, those of your who know me know that I love to make things. Anything that I can try to make I do. I am crafty, like to sew, do home projects, make equipment for Ella, and above all I love to make beautiful babies :) Lol. Work, daily life, the kids, SMA, etc all take up a lot of time and there isn't much left for these kinds of things but I find a little time, especially when it's for the kids :)

   Ella is the lucky recipient of most of my creations, only because making girly things is a lot more fun! Kaleb just got a new Dallas Cowboys blanket but beyond that I don't think he would like me to sew him clothes or anything :) Ella is easy though. Hair pretties, dresses, skirts, so fun to make.

    Well, last week I finally decided to try my hand at making her a bag for her wheelchair. I have purchased many bags and nothing does the trick. They are either too big, too small, fall off of the handles, or just plain drive me nuts. So, my first Ella Belle Bag was born :) There are so many options with different fabrics, straps, etc.  I had so much fun making it that I am seriously contemplating opening an Etsy store for my creations inspired by Ella.  I make blankets, fabric flowers, hair pretties, skirts, these bags, a holder for hair pretties, just to name a few that I might actually sell. Mainly, I'm loving these bags. So, we'll see what happens...

     I just thought I would share it. Also, I have been the Queen of PVC lately. I made Ella a new pool/beach chair and today the kids and I built our first PVC sprinkler :) I saw it on Pinterest awhile back and thought we'd try it out. The kids had fun helping me make our structure. Then, I wrapped Ella's wheelchair up in trash bags and we had a blast. Here's a link to watch them playing, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glO7LNDYLs4 . Ella was very nervous at first but eventually got the hang of it :) Kaleb kept yelling for her and cheering her on, such a good big brother as always!

    What's my next project you may ask...the list in my head is long :) But, I think that the next one is going to be a pool float for Ella. I have had an idea for awhile and just need to make it happen. Hmmm, it's only midnight, should I start now? Maybe I'll save that for tomorrow :)

Enjoy a few pics of the summer fun we have been having...

Pretty sure that I'll never be able to make anything else as awesome as Kaleb and Ella and all of the moments we share <3.
