Holly's style



Holly picked out this outfit all by herself and I thought she looked so cute. she looked kinda grown up. Or it could be that the jean jacket brought me back to JR high days and I pictured her as a teenager. She needs to stop growing, stop looking cute, stop having crushes on 12 yr old boys, stop wanting make-up, stop loving high heel shoes, just STOP.


Oh by the way. I was on the phone with my mom the other day and Holly wanted to know what the weather was like in her (meaning my mom) land. My parents live in California.

Josh got glasses

So we got a notice from the school telling us that after they tested Josh's eyes we need to take him to the eye doctor. I finally took him after I noticed he couldn't see the tv from our couch. Our living room is pretty narrow, so I thought this is bad. The DR. said he could only see clearly like 2-3 feet in front of him. I felt terrible!

He picked out these glasses and I think he looks good. He came home the first day of school and said "Mom, kids liked my glasses, and they didn't even call me 4 eyes!"

Dr. Seuss baby quilt

My friend had this Dr. Seuss material that she wasn't going to use and gave it to me. I came up with this design all by myself and the middle is a disappearing nine around the titles of Seuss books. I made these burp cloths with left over scraps. This is fun!











Cowboy up!



Here is my cowboy quilt. I love the middle 1950's cowboy cartoon. I was learning how to do a 9 patch square.







This is the back.

Baby Quilts for my etsy site!

So I have been making burp clothes to sell on my etsy site. I decided to use the left over material to make matching baby quilts. Here is my first one. I think it came out really cute.

Halloween at our House



We made this Boo and Headstones out of some plywood we had at our house. I spray painted them and looked up humorous headstones. I was really excited to see them up, I love that Don is into these things too. TRICK OR TREAT.
