Car seat "tent"

You know how car seats have those canopy things that raise and lower, provide shade, etc.?  Yeah, I hate them.  Ours was always getting in the way, and coming off, and making a loud clicking noise when it was moved....  Lately I have seen some super cute car seat tents around, and started looking for one.  As it turns out, they were a lot more $$ than I wanted to spend, so I thought I would make one with some of my fabric that I just had laying around!  My first one turned out OK, but I struggled with the velcro and buttons.  I guess it will do, but it isn't wonderful or anything.  I think the second one turned out a little bit better.  I decided that instead of velcro, I would try just ribbon, not sure I like that either, but I like it better then the velcro!  They took me about 2 hours from start to finish, I had lots of help from the little ones, but it saved me $40+ for each one!  Peachy enjoyed having her "baby" in the car seat.  I hope that she likes having a REAL one in there too!!  Hopefully our little man will be here soon.  My bags are packed, and everything is ready, so all I need is contractions that stick around for more than 4 hours!
