I got some sewing done, finally!

My first quilt, which is... um, not so great, but pretty fabric! LOL

My second quilt, I'm in LOVE with it!

A yellow and white dress for Fayth with button accents.

The quilts are baby-sized, but I love them! I’m going to have to buy some fabric to make a full-sized quilt this weekend… maybe make some Christmas gifts.  Who wouldn’t love a home-made quilt?? I’ve had to take a hiatus on my knitting, since my hands have started hurting so bad from it. I want to make a few more car-sized quilts for the kids when we’re on road trips, maybe with little pillows. I’ve already got plans for backseat organizers, but I want some thicker fabric like tweed or canvas.

I need to make myself a new purse, too, but need that thicker fabric again… I made mine 6 months ago out of pillowcases (like the quilts!) and it’s great, but very flimsy.

Just waiting to get more fabric, so I can get started on the next one!!

We’ve had a wonderful weekend :)

So I’ve been in a baking, sewing, knitting, all around crafty mood the past couple of days. I’ve made three dresses for Fayth out of some vintage pillow cases I had laying around, I’ve knit a swiffer mop cover that works WAY better than the pads you buy for the mop, and I’ve made two cobblers. (Very yummy, I might add! The one for desert tonight was a peach and pear cobbler with crumble topping, and the one for Matt and Stacy’s BBQ was plain ole’ peach.)

We all had an amazingly wonderful time at Matt and Stacy’s! The food was great, there was laughter all night, and there were kids everywhere, including itty-bitties. I made new friends, and so did the kids. It was really, really nice.

I think that I might try to find the quilt squares I have cut out for Brennan’s blanket and get going on that again, since I found my batting and bias tape. He’s two months old already, but I think she’ll like the colors and fabric.

I also want to make a camera strap cover for my Nikon band and maybe a cover for Jake’s collar, since I found a tutorial online for those two things.

Jake is actually being good for once, not jumping on anyone or peeing on anything! (that I’ve noticed yet!!) I love my dog, but sometimes he drives me crazy! He’s playing catch with me while Jack  is watching Hunter play Guitar Hero as I blog.

Hollie is out trying to figure out why so many nodes are down, and it’s supposed to get very stormy soon. It rained earlier, and got pretty nasty for a few minutes before just stopping and clearing up again.

Some eye candy for you, because this is the stuff that I want to remember forever. :)

love these moments :)

We know you’re thinking about us…
