I SUCK

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...................

wow, I suck at keeping up with this blogging thing. I put everything up on facebook. But blogging is so much better! I really need to get into a better habit of doing it. I also need to get into the habit of actually telling people about my blog lol. I wanted to use it for family to see what I'm up to..... yet I haven't told a single family member lol. ANYWAY I have sooooooo.... or should I say SEW much to do! Lots of costumes to make before Halloween! I love Halloween. I'll put pics as they are completed. Here's what I'm working on:

Bridal Robe for my bff Melissa (DONE) perfect for when she was getting her hair/makup done!
Newborn size lion costume for my nephew Emerson (almost done) needs a fitting and then I can finish it
Adult size "toothless the dragon" mascot costume to appear at my nephew Landon's 5th Bday party
Adult Saloon girl costume for my sister Katie
Adult Rapunzel costume add on piece for work
Adult sexy pink tube dress for a sexy energizer bunny costume for my friend melanie
Wendy costume for me
Cap'n Hook costume for my hubs
peterpan costume for Shayne
tink costume for Lylah
maybe a thor costume for my hubs
and maybe a sexy peacock costume for me.


as you can see I have SEW much work to do. I'm exhausted! Tomorrow I'm starting the dragon head. Wish me luck!!!!

A few weeks back we went Apple Picking with the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had fun, not so much anyone else though. I take that back. Shayne had fun. Nathan was pretty miserable, Lylah didn't care. LOL

I guess I had visions of grandure in my head about our apple picking photo shoot. I expected a grassy shady flat orchard. We got a dry, dirty, hot, sweaty, push a stroller up and down hill (well Nathan did- hence his miserableness) exhausting treck for apples that are cheaper to buy in the store.

BUT- I got alot of good pictures, and I think it was something fun and new to try. \

NEXT TIME- researching the orchard before I drive out there.

HERE ARE SOME PICS!!!

Car Seat Canopy

I've made so many of these at this point I don't even need to refer back to the tutorial anymore. I just love them. They are sooooooo cute and they make fantastic baby shower gifts. Even better they can also be used as a playmat and nursing cover. Here are some of the ones I've made:

This one is a variation of the standard canopy. I added elastic around the bottom, made a peek a boo window complete with netting and subbed the ribbon ties for velcro straps. It came out super cute. The gifts were very appreciated

Anyway, they're great and you can find the instructions here: http://while-they-sleep.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-good-friend-beth.html

Welcome!

So.... I've given in and decided to start a blog. I always go on other people's, so I figured it was time to start my own. My name is Megan, creator of Bubblegum Brownies, I spend my time taking care of my 2 and a half year old son Shayne and my four month old daughter Lylah. I think my hubby is the sexiest guy alive (mostly beacuse he still puts up with me haha). I work for a children's entertainment company on the weekends. (www.alwaysjustforfun.com)
I love to sew, I make things all the time, whether its costumes for work, tutus or baby items, I'm always working on something! I also love to throw crafty semi- homemade birthday parties for my kids. I figure I can use this blog to brag about my kids and share my crafty endeavors!!!!!!!
Right now I'm working on some car seat canopys, I'll post pics soon!!!!!!!!
