Recipe Share: Rasperry Applesauce Jello

By special request, here is my recipe for a yummy jello dish. It's better than it sounds, trust me.

Raspberry Applesauce Jello
1 lrg box or 2 small boxes of Raspberry Jello
1 c applesauce
1 pkg frozen raspberries

Disolve jello in the amount of water called for on the box (2 cups). Don't add cold water. Add frozen raspberries, then applesauce. Chill.

It's that simple, and surprisingly delicious. Try it.

Car Seat Canopy for Heidi

Here is the carseat canopy I made for Heidi several weeks ago. I rounded the corners on this one so they don't drag. Heidi came with me to pick out the cute fabric.

Diaper Clutch: Lauren

Boy is it hard to find time to sew now. I managed to squeak this one in for Lauren's baby shower gift. A diaper clutch (portable changing pad/diaper & wipes holder) and burp cloth. I also included a cute little headband with a bow and a binkie clip (pacifier included). Too bad I didn't get pictures of those too...
This time I made the clutch with soft flannel on the inside, a layer of batting for cushioning, and vinyl exterior to prevent leakage should the baby decide to pee on it during the diaper change. (Speaking from experience here.) There is an inside pocket to secure the wipes and a diaper or two, so they don't slide out the sides. It is washable, of course. It turned out a little wide for portability-- I think next time I will make it narrower.

Here's a little glimpse into what I do at work. This is a stamp set I created with hand drawn lettering.
