Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!

late night

Apples.

Can you guess what I am making for Christmas...??




I'll post more pics as I finish them.

I'm on a mission...

to do WAY too many things for Christmas!! I have already started on one of these for Aidan (will post pics later) and it is SO SO SO cute.

I just discovered this new blog via Ohdeedoh, and now my new mission is to take part in this very cool Build Along...Cute & Thrifty Play Kitchen! I am scouring Freecycle and Craigslist in hopes of coming across any nightstand table SOON. I'm already two weeks behind!! We can do it though.

Head over to Out of The Crayon Box to check out the amazing ideas Jane has...she even donates the money she makes from the kitchens to the Homeless! I know there are at least a couple of you who have been meaning to make a kitchen for the kiddies.

Rockets, Boats, Balls, Oh My!

Here is some of what I have been working on lately...last weekend the neighbor friend I spoke of here, celebrated with a shower (I unfortunately could not attend) for soon-to-be-born Baby Jack. This is actually the first shower I have done homemades for...so it was very exciting! I made a couple bibs, a burpie, paci clips, a changing pad/diaper wipes holder, taggie blankie, stuffed ball and a onesie with a super cute rocket on it! I had such fun doing it, hope her and her hubby enjoy them and now am looking forward to 3 new babies this year to sew for! Yay!

Sewing with paper...

My new favorite thing...so easy...so cute...so rewarding!

A cute little baby shower card made for my neighbor friend...



Next, I think I'll try this...
