Who is ready for a nap?

Nap Mats

I am...but I didn't make a nap mat for myself.  I did make one for the twins.  I can't believe it! I actually did it.

I haven't felt prouder of myself when I made a button hole.  It is not really a talent, just actual proof that I can follow directions.

The nap mats were pretty easy, thanks to a FREE tutorial online from Jenny Garland! http://jennygarland.typepad.com/jenny_garland/2008/09/not-your-everyd.html

Carrying Strap

Here are the pictures of the completed girl twin nap mat and the almost done boy twin one (I still have to insert the foam and put the Velcro on the side), and sew the buttons on.  I am planning to put their names on it too, but that is truly optional, so if I don't have time, no problem.

SOOO...what is going on with the rest of my life?  School?  Dentist?  Well...today I got a call from the twins' new pre-school telling me that the picnic today is relocated due to the rainy weather.  Picnic? I said.  So I didn't get the postcard, but I did get the tuition bill, so I knew they were registered okay.  I took this opportunity to ask about the nap mat to the teacher.  She said:  'Oh, yes, they are ordered.  We buy them as part of the book registration fee.'  DOH!


All rolled up & buttoned

"Who cares!" I am telling myself.  This was one SUPER FUN $400 project.  Let's just forget that I said the ending price.  I'm too expensive of a crafter, even for myself, but I have absolutely no regrets about doing this.  It was not frustrating and it was very rewarding.

Once we start school, I'll still send them with these kick-butt nap mats instead of the school distributed ones...why the heck not?
