Fourth of July Shirts

 I knew we would be going to the Condon 4th of July parade so I wanted the kids to have shirts for the celebration.  I found shirts for the boys at Old Navy, but I made the girls'.  I cut a red T-shirt into strips and ruffled them for the stripes.  I used a piece of navy knit for the corner and sewed white buttons on for the stars.

Road Trip Bag

Since the grandkids will be taking road trips this summer, I wanted to make some little things to make their travel a bit easier.  So I made these little bags that tie around the headrest.  They are reversible.

I like the see-through vinyl front which makes it easier for the little ones to locate what they want.

And of course, I had to put some goodies inside.  This is a dry erase book made out of a pocket photo album.  I love these dry erase crayons.  They make bright colors and don't wipe off when touched by little fingers.  But they do erase easily with the cloth.  Everything fits inside the little pull-string bag.  More about these dry erase books here.

Dry erase travel books

Each page is slipped into the little photo album so the dry erase marks can be easily removed and the pages reused.  I wanted to remember my ideas, so there is picture overload ahead.  Should have taken the pages out of the book to take the pictures, but...
