Since our baby girl knows how to crawl, there's no holding back. She is discovering her world and is getting quicker every day. Being on your knees the whole day doesn't appear very comfortable to me. Though she doesn't mind. There's just too much to discover.

Still, I wanted her to be comfortable which is why I sewed baby knee pads for her. I used old fabric in doing so. Moreover, a stuffed animal was - well - kind of hurt. To be exactly, a stuffed squirrel lost its tail. Poor squirrel.

Sorry to any mum, how is searching a pattern for sewing baby pants - I took one of our pants and enhanced it with baby knee pads to prevent bruises.

Baby Knee Pads: Instructions

For the baby knee pads, cut out four equal ovals. Pin two ovals on the later inside of the knee pads together. Sew them together with matching thread but leave a little hole for filling the knee pads later. Turn the pads (inside is now in). The fissure is invisible now.

Time to kill the stuffed animal! Or at least to hurt it seriously..
Use the contents of the stuffed animal to fill the baby knee pads. Afterwards sew together the hole you left earlier. Use the pins to attach the pads to the baby pants and sew the pads to the pants. Be careful not to sew together the legs of the pants. Happens to best ;)

Despite it's no German tradition, I love Halloween. The costumes, the horror movies, the scary food..

Hopefully, some dressed up kids will show up and demand sweets. If so, I'm optimally prepared. I took the opportunity to make some easy Halloween crafts for kids and created cute candy bags.
Find the instructions below, in case you want to copy them.

First, draw rectangles with the following measures onto the gift wrap paper: length 9.5 inch (24 cm), width 4.5 inch (11 cm). Cut out the rectangles. Afterwards, fold the rectangles in the middle to receive rectangles with around 4.8 inch (12 cm) x 4.5 inch (11 cm).

Stick together the longer sides on the edge. Next, cut out an irregular flame pattern at the remaining open side of the bag.
