My Super Heroes

Miles has a great imagination.

A while back he created a super hero alter-ego, Super Volcano Boy.

(He watched a National Geographic show on volcanoes)

He has hot lava (or "laba" as he says it), fire, and sting powers.

For a while it was a secret we couldn't tell anyone about. But he decided to let the cat out of the bag for Halloween.I used my Red Riding hood cape from last year. Took off the hood, made some alterations, added the "V", and WALLA, a super hero cape!
Miles was made sure to let me know what colors volcanoes are. He was pretty excited!

James loves Superman, but we decided to make him his own super hero identity as well. He likes Superman's ability to blow cold air and freeze the bad guys, so we went with it.

Introducing, Super Cool Boy!

They look a little Super Goofy and Confused in this photo!

Ben and I went out Saturday. Lots of fun. I had a little trouble fitting through doorways with my giant wings though...

Due to a technical glitch I didn't post my little secret yesterday. I didn't forget! Check back this evening, and I'll finally be out with it!!

Sewing Bits

So a few weeks ago, I had a VERY productive sewing weekend with Kristina.

I made this lovely in a day!

I can't get enough of Wonderland by MoMo!

And the pattern from Atkinson Designs, Picture This, out of the Happy Hour book.I've been holding on to some Heather Bailey fabric for some time and finally became courageous enough to use it. Not only that I just winged it to make this little tote!


And I took a class at my local quilt shop to make this fun little apron (finished it on our sewing retreat).

I also completed another project, but it's a secret for now!!
