UPDATED CAR SEAT CANOPY FOR BABY

This is an update from a 2016 post. Hope you still find this useful!

Staci and her husband had their first child, Parker Scott--born on May 16, 2016, and we all love him so! With a new baby, parents need lots of necessities, but they also should have some fun, helpful items (that grandma didn't have when her kids were little).

So I found an easy to follow and quick to come together tutorial for a car seat canopy by Chelsea at Life With My Littles. The hyperlink there will take you right to her photos and tutorial so you can make your own car seat canopy! Staci mentioned that since they have been using the canopy, Parker seems to rest better while in the seat--maybe it cuts down on light or distractions?

I bought my fabric at JoAnn's (RIP, Joann's) and found some cute flannel material. Since I live in a small town, I have had good luck in buying my flannel online thru Michael's, so you could check there too.

I used a zigzag stitch for my top stitch.

These are so simple to make and I am glad I found Chelsea's tutorial! I am going to make another one soon for Parker.

Thanks for stopping by today!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND HAPPY 250 YEARS AMERICA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, YOU! 250 YEARS LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!

How will you celebrate our country's semiquicentennial? As I noted last week, we will be in the Salt Lake City area. I did purchase tickets to the Salt Lake Bees baseball game (farm team of the LA Angeles). They have the BEST fireworks after the game so that was what we decided on. Not sure what we will do during the day but will be scouring the internet for fun activities. Still hoping to catch the Hill Air Force Base and Utah National Guard fighter jets/pilots as they fly over various parades and areas starting at 8 a.m. on the 4th!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND COUNTDOWN TO AMERICA'S 250

Let's start partying like its 1776!

WELCOME TO THE PARTY! Another week to the big 2-5-0 for our beautiful country! We will be in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah so looking for some fun events to attend! We used to spend the 4th in Utah quite often but it has been a few years. I do know that pilots from Hill Air Force Base in Roy will be doing flyovers over multiple Utah cities and towns on the morning of the 4th! We have seen them before and it is such a proud moment AND amazing how those pilots can fly over 4th of July parades or events at precisely the moment scheduled! Gives me chills when I see them! Let me know in the comments if you have any plans for the 4th.
