Rainbow Pancakes

My kids new favorite breakfast is Rainbow pancakes.  I just divide the batter into four bowls and add food coloring.  I then make my pancakes a little smaller so that they will get one of each.  This is huge hit with my kids.  You could even add whipped cream and it would look like a cloud.  100_0521100_0520

Gone to long

Wow I can’t believe how long it has been since I last posted on here.  My only excuse is my life has been busy.  I have been busy sewing and here is one of the things I have been working on.

Reusable Swim Diapers
These are so wonderful.  In Arizona we swim all the time and Disposable Swim Diapers can be expensive. 
Years ago I used the disposable swim diapers.  I later started purchasing reusable swim diapers through a magazine.  I have reused those diapers for years and they are still doing great.  One reason I switched was the cost and the other is that disposable diapers don't hold pee in.  Their main purpose is to keep poop out of the pool.  I discovered this while in line at the post office and my daughter was dressed for swim class and peed all over the floor.  When I asked her swim teacher about it she confirmed that disposable swim diapers don't hold pee in. 
With that said these swim diapers will do the same thing a disposable diaper does and that is keep poop out of the pool.  But these are machine washable and can be used over and over again.  I am using a pre-shrunk cotton fabric on the outside and a vinyl/plastic material on the inside.  This is great for easy clean up if you do have an accident at the pool.  This is my first year making them for myself and I wanted to share it with everyone else so they can save money.
I am currently selling them locally and should have them up on my esty shop soon.

Foot Pillow

Growing up my mom made us these great foot pillows with our names on them.  My kids were invited to a friends birthday party and I like to make the gifts.  So the kids and I decided that their friend Ava would like a foot pillow.  I think it turned out so super cute.  I love the name on the toes. 

I have added a foot pillow like this one on my etsy account if anyone is interested.
