Works for me Wednesday

Lent begins tomorrow and for all the joking about eating sugar, fat and eggs in preparation for fasting, I am excited because I'm going to be reading The Purpose Driven Life. I hope to use the next 40 days to really focus on God's purpose for me and the ultimate sacrifice He made.

I've read this book before with a small group and tried on my own since then but this time a group of us ladies are reading it and discussing it via Facebook. It's going to be great to be held accountable to read it each day, to get to do this all together and chat with friends and family from across the country.

WFMW: baby leg warmers

I have always thought baby leg warmers were so cute and now that I have a baby to put them on I just had to have some. I sew ( haha I totally just typed "I'm a sewer"...hahaha) so I set out to make some myself.

The first one I made following this tutorial but I was using adult knee socks and the cuff turned out too big for my baby's ankles. I did buy a pair of girls knee socks this week and will follow those directions, but for adult socks I made the cuff smaller like this tutorial shows.

They are so simple to make it's ridiculous, even if you don't sew I know you could make them.

here's my model

That's what works for me! For other great ideas be sure to head over to We Are That Family.
