FABRIC PRODUCE BAG

This is a cute little bag! The pattern said it was a produce bag but I think you could use it for other stuff. Maybe a gift bag...? I've seen lots of blogs where people are making cloth gift bags. You reuse them over and over. Just think, if it gets dirty you can wash it and reuse it unlike a paper gift bag. I might have to find a good pattern and do that for next Christmas.

BABY E WATCHING ME

He sat and watched me yesterday as I worked on his quilt. He did really good. Sorry, you can't see his face. I will never post a full face pic of my kids on my blog. That is something I am not at all comfortable with.

PIECED TOGETHER

Finished piecing together the quilt for Eli today. I think I might put a boarder around the edge before I go any further on it. The blue chenille I decided against. The blue just didn't go with the other blues.

IN THE MAIL......

to Holly for baby Leeland. I found someone to make these for Eli but he can't wear them; so sad because I just love them! I am just happy that I knew someone that would love them too. Enjoy Leeland!!!

BABY QUILT

Today I decided to start a baby quilt for Eli. I still need to cut out the blue chenille squares. I have 2 chenille bedspreads of my grandma's that I might cut into squares also. Hopefully, I can have this quilt done in 2-3 weeks!

RECYCLE

Jarrett came home yesterday with 2 big black trash cans for my recyclables. Right now I only recycle paper and plastic. I decided in order for the kiddos to help out they must be labeled. (Yay, quick craft project!) So I whipped out some vinyl and got busy cutting out letters with my Cricut. Drew was lots of help, he supervised!

SNOW.........

The boys LOVE the snow. That is all I heard from the time their feet hit the floor; until their heads hit the pillow... for two days. They are both very sad that it is melting. It was the first time Eli saw snow; he really didn't care. I did take some pictures for his scrapbook though. Hopefully, I can start his soon.

GORGEOUS

Ok, so I am thinking apron......maybe a top of somekind. Hmmmmm, it's got me thinking.

A NEW YEAR

I have my craft room pretty organized now and I hope to get back to scrapbooking. I ordered three new cartridges for my Cricut (got one for my birthday too). My goal for 2011 is to get all of 2009 and 2010 done. Also, I have another new apron pattern (much easier than the last) and a purse pattern to try out. Oh, I do have a quilt to start quilting and I have decided to make each of the boys a quilt (as a keepsake). Hopefully, there will be some pretty new fabric coming out this year for those aprons!

BAKU......WHAT?

From Arkadelphia to Branson we heard Bakucan. Well, that is what they were saying and we had no clue what they were talking about. Until.....McDonald's in Branson. We got them Happy Meals and Bakugan's were inside. We are now a household with about 14 or 16 Bakugan's. I had to attach a pic for those of you who have no clue!

NEW TOYS.........

Rockets!!! The boys got rockets for Christmas and so far one has broken and we replaced it. Then the replacement was lost after a windy night launch. So, we are buying another rocket. The one pictured is Ben's......we have been able to keep up with it so far.

Well.....trampolines, I don't like them as much as I did YEARS ago. Frankly, they are a bit too scary for me. The boys are loving it though.

The boys are REALLY enjoying their new swingset/fort thanks to the pop and granny.

CUPCAKES FOR THE PARTY

I made these for the boys party in December. Of course, one likes chocolate/chocolate and the other one likes white/white. I am ready to see what Eli likes!!

FINALLY....................

APRON

I made this apron for my sister for her birthday. The fabric is thick, so it would be really good for a messy cook; I don't think she is though.
