Creating Quiet Time

This summer My mom, my 2 girls, my good friend Shelia, her two kids, and me are going on a long weekend trip to Dallas to take the girls to the American Girl Doll Bistro and do some other fun things. So I've been working on some ideas to make the trip fun for the kids and us. I've come up with some great outfits for all 3 girls (the 4th is a boy) and their dolls so they can be twinkies!!! So be on the look out for cute posts about those later.

However, while trying to come up with things for them to do in the 8 hours spent in the car round trip, I remembered a box that I have moved from my sewing room, to the office, back to the sewing room and then to the garage without using any of it's contents. I bought these supplies at least a year ago, if not more, and I haven't used any of them yet!!!

So I pulled it out and made these:

They are super cute, and do double duty.

They are oilcloth on one side, great for a portable place mat.

Just wipe clean and away you go.

Then The other side is this great fabric that works like a chalk board.

Just doodle away, then erase and repeat!

They all have a cute little ribbon tie, so they can roll up and tie for portability.

I love them so much, I think I'll go list some in my etsy store right now!!

Or come see us at the Rt 66 Blow out in Downtown Sapulpa on June 6th!

Now, I have to give credit where credit is due. My other good friend Georganne was asking me about this fabric and reminded me of this project last week. Oh and she is also promising to be a guest blogger on here, she makes the most to die for hairbows, and sells them way too cheap, so if you need to outfit your princess in bows, she is the go to girl!
