Lexi's Quiet Book

This project was definitely a labor of love.  My Mom spent numerous hours researching, making, and refining every last detail of this book.  I can take no credit in it.  This book will be great for church and long trips.  Thanks Mom for all the time it took to make and Lexi loves it.

For the Little Ballerina...

Our good friends little girl is turning 4 next Friday and she is quite the little dancer.  I made her this cute dance bag using this tutorial. 

It was very easy to make and I added some things to make it my own.  I freezer papered her name and the shoes on the front and then I added the bows to the shoes.  I hope she loves it. 

  

I used duck cloth for the outside and flannel for the inside.  I recommend a heavier weight fabric for the outside because i used just cotton fabric on a previous one and it was to flimsy.

 

On a side note Scott doesnt like that I keep putting all these sewing projects up on our family blog so I will think about starting a sewing blog but that might be to much pressure to update it more frequently.  We will see, but for now you can see all the projects I am working on here which isnt that many but hopefully more soon. 

Baby Shower Gift

Merry Christmas to Me!!!

 

Santa is bringing me this nice little gift for Christmas.

  Im so excited!!!

Also we leave for Florida in just a week.  It will be great to see my family for the holidays.  Its the first time in 6 years since I have been home for Christmas since Scott came out to meet the family before we were married.  Also I am looking forward to some warmer weather and FRESH SQUEEZED OJ!! 

I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do in the next week and a few things to assemble now that I have an almost 2 year old and each Christmas from now on will be something to assemble and making sure to buy batteries.

8 days till Florida!!!

Orange

This tree resides right outside my window.  Isnt it pretty?  But the outside it currently covered in a blanket of snow.  I cant believe Christmas is right around the corner.  We will be heading to FL in just 2 weeks.  Cant wait!!

From Regular Jeans to Skinny

My sister asked me to let the hem out of a pair of her jeans because they seemed to be getting a little short. I suggested instead why dont we make them into skinny jeans and that will fix the length on the jean as well. I ran across this great tutorial HERE and have been wanting to try it out. She was fair game so we went for it.

Lets just start by saying I am the absolute worst at getting before pictures so you will get an in between and after pic.

IN BETWEEN

As you can see the left leg before and the right leg after I had already skinnified it.

AFTER

I really think they turned out great and you cant even tell they werent skinny jeans to begin with. I have several of my own jeans I would love to do this with.

On Black Friday I hit up Joanns for some fabric and scored some great knits and lots of other stuff I have been wanting to try out. So stay tuned for more projects.
