Aprons for Mike and Abby

I made some Christmas gifts for Mike and Abby.  They love to help make things, so after this post, I decided to make them some aprons for Christmas.  Mike's is reversible; tutorial here.  Abby's is from a $3.00 pattern I found at Walmart.  They are both made from left over fabrics from other projects. 

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.

Making it My Own

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. 

More Fun with File Folder Games

My kids absolutely love the file folder games (I put them in a notebook instead of file folders).  Most of them are very educational games and the website has games up to 3rd grade.  I have made 3 very full three-ringed binders of them.  My laminator has been worth every penny.
