Trying to be Crafty & Home-Ecie

Note, that the key word of my title is TRYING.  Being crafty is not a natural talent for me by all means, it's more of a learned talent.  For my baby shower back in December my amiga Savani (who has a natural talent for sewing) gave me a car seat cover and it has been so nice having it.  Anyway, as we went to and from Dr's appointments we would get random compliments on the cover and I started to notice that these type of covers are not very common here in CA like it is in UT, where you see them everywhere Here in CA people do it the Hispanic way by putting a hot fleece blanket with animal print over the car seat. So Danny got the bright idea of me learning how to make them and eventually start selling them to a baby store in Davis, where we have a hook up.  But for right now, I have made them as gifts.  I also started to make flowers for Elia's headbands that I have of different colors with the extra material from the covers. Here are some pictures of the covers and flowers
