Super Hero Capes

L's Birthday Party Favors

L. wanted to have his 'friend' birthday party in my yard this past weekend. And since Avengers just came out on  DVD he wanted a super hero party. He had to fill me in on exactly who everyone is and what their specialty is. It sounded like that they would need to have super hero capes to be these special heroes at a birthday party. So L.and his mom went on the internet to find me some examples of their symbols. Then he told me what color each cape should be. Next we went to Walmart to get some inexpensive fabric. Here is what we came up with:

There were no girls allowed at this party, of course. But I made a cape for his little sister B. because I knew that when the party was over she would really want one and I hate crying grandchildren. L. didn't seem to make any fuss when I made headbands for B and her friends. Go figure! :) Gotta love the littles.

Grandkid's Aprons

 My darling grandchildren are so dear to me. And luckily half of them live just a few doors down. They all love to help me roll out the rolls just I used to help my grandmother make her bread. But I don't remember getting flour all over me. My "littles" get flour all over them.

 So I made each of them an apron. A simple one that doubles as a bib. If we are having Sunday dinner they really need something that will cover all of their Sunday clothes and this apron works perfectly.

Now whenever a new grandbaby is born I will just make them their own apron/bib to add to our collection.
