I had my first attempt at a fitted cloth diaper today!
The first round totally failed and I didn't do the elastic right so it didn't tighten like it should've around the legs.
The 2nd time came out just perfect except for one thing... it would fit a baby doll and not my child haha
Oh well it turned out really cute and I got the basic concept to it and the good thing about having girls is that it didn't totally go to waiste since there are so many baby dolls in this house!
If at first you don't succeed try try again! So I took a break and worked on one of my orders for a pillow case dress and I will continue to work on the cloth diapering department more later lol
We had a pretty good weekend! We spent Saturday out at Chucky Cheese. We haven't been since they finished the construction and added on to it. They have more games, especially more toddler friendly games and more tables which is super awesome!
The kids (hubby too lol) had a blast as usual! Can't beat a place you can go and play every game for one quarter!
I made some really yummy Oatmeal Teddy Bear cookies that I ate WAY to many of... lol sometimes I think it's bad I bake lol
