the babes.


Mimi is really freaking cute these days. She has 3, almost 4 teeth. She can almost crawl, almost wave, loves the cat and the dog, so hard. She says ba ba, da da, ppppthhhhbbb, as well as many other sweet little baby words. She eats lots of different fruits and vegetables, she tried her first tortilla chip today, and did I mention she's really cute? Yeah. And she likes to swing.

plastic bag bags...





I've been wanting to do this for a long time.







Ever since I found out that I could iron plastic bags together and sew them up, I've been collecting them, and hording them, and waiting for the perfect time to try it out.
I didn't want to iron bags together while I was pregnant, because of possible toxic creepiness. (I don't have a problem exposing myself to toxins, however)

I finally got around to trying it out over the long weekend. Its pretty clear that I'm going to have to work on my ironing technique, sometimes when the iron was too hot it melted little holes in the bags. I still like the bags that I made, but it would be better if there weren't little melty holes.
For those of you who don't know, here's how its done:

*you get your plastic bags
*you get your iron
*you get some wax paper (so the plastic doesn't stick to your iron)

cut apart the bags so that they can be laid flat,
iron the pieces together one at a time.
a layer of about 4 or 5 makes a good thickness to sew with.
then just make them into whatever you want!

I made makeup, or pencil, or brush, or whatever bags:
I'm going to be making Jake a new wallet next~
