Pinned It Did It Monday {car seat cover and sausage soup}

Sorry for you Google reader readers who had this pop up earlier unfinished.  Owen was having fun on Mommy’s computer. :)  Anywhoo, welcome to Pinned It Did It Monday where I show you some of the pins I’ve actually done from Pinterest.  Hope you can find them useful or inspiring.I got asked a few weeks ago to make a car seat cover for baby Claire.  I said sure and then prayed I could actually pull it off.   Luckily, Claire has the same car seat as Ellie, so I could make sure it fit as I went!

My pictures: My review:  I am so in love with this.  If Ellison wasn’t going to a new car seat soon, I would totally make her one.  It blocks the wind without being too hot like some of the blanket covers.  And it’s just stinking cute.  Her tutorial is easy to follow.  I added the “C” and flower embellishments.  This was the first time I added bias tape to anything.  That’s the cute pink edging around the cover.  I used this and this tutorial for help and this one for learning how to “stitch in the ditch” which makes for a beautiful finished edge.  I totally forgot to take a picture ,but the underside is all pink.  Darn.  Oh well.  Love the fabric combo and am pretty happy with the new sewing skills I had to acquire for this one.  Let me know if you need a car seat cover made! :)I was looking for a soup that didn’t involve chicken as I was chickened out.  And came across this one that included sausage.

My review:   Delish!!  Pretty easy to put together and had great flavor without being spicy.  Owen likes sausage so even he enjoyed it.  Definitely a keeper recipe!
