First Goose Bumps!

We took Ollie to the beach yesterday afternoon. It was breezy and we were in the shade. If you look closely, you can see that Ollie's got ckicken skin!

Ring Sling Detail (Day 57)

Showing off my very uneven stitching. I wrapped the stitches, and that kind of makes them look like they are supposed to be uneven. :P

I made a ring sling :)

Last night I finished making this ring sling. I wanted a sling that I can adjust because Ollie is getting too big for me to be able to nurse him in my pouch sling. Also, the tail of a ring sling makes for a handy nursing cover.

I used the Maya Wrap sewing instructions to make my sling:

Until a few months ago I had two sewing machines -- my mom's and my grandma's. Neither were working right, and they were so heavy and bulky and just in the way, mostly collecting dust. They smelled musty, too. So I ditched them. Therefore I ended up sewing my sling all by hand. Took three evenings... about 8 - 10 hours from start to finish.

Little Mariners Fan

@lilkenji Reads a Book (Day 55)

Another photo series of the day. Ollie hasn't really figured out how to manipulate the pages yet. But he knows what they taste like!
