Thanks Grandma!

The girls thoroughly enjoyed the halloween crafts Grandma sent. Thanks so much! They are cute and were really age appropriate for both Claire and Morgan.

Baby Christensen quilt


I finish piecing the top, I still need to do the borders. The lighting kind of washes the colors out, but here it is. Is is bigger than a baby quilt. They don't really need baby quilts in 115 degrees.
I probably won't get it quilted for a while. Stay tuned.

Abby's Skirt

While home in Washington this past summer, Mom gave me a sewing lesson.  We made this skirt with fabric by Heather Bailey.

A blog for you.


Hi everyone!  I have a blog that I wanted to share with you all.  It comes from a girl in my stake who is super creative and crafty!  Maybe you've already heard of her blog, but I'd thought I'd share anyway.


I love this Proclamation to the Family craft that she came up with for her ward's upcoming Super Saturday.  It's just 3 blocks of wood, a family photo (this is her friend's family, not hers) and the Proclamation reformatted into a 3 column format.

I'm not in her ward, but I think I might order one anyway, they are so cute!

I am not crafty in any way, shape or form, but seeing her creations really gives me the itch.  So go ahead, take a peek through her blog and archives.  I think you'll love it!

Nursing Cover

Using this tutorial, I made a reversible nursing cover, complete with boning, storage pocket, and carrying bag.  I purchased one of these made from a single layer of fabric and am anxious to compare.  I'm hoping that the reversible one isn't too hot for baby girl.  The huge advantage of making my own is that I made it extra large to ensure maximum coverage.
