More Sewing...

So my neighbor is having a baby on the 28th, and they are waiting to be surprised on the sex.
She let me make this bumper and quilt for the cute crib! I am so excited that it turned out! The bumper fits PERFECTLY, which is a big feat for me, since that involved math, and the quilt feels like a cloud! What a fun project!

Therapeutic Crafts!

Thank goodness for crafting! I have decided to post more pictures this year of things I make.
I made these Valentines pillows for The Pink Door. (Thank you for the tips Melissa!) If you haven't been to the pink door yet, GO!!! It's on about 8600 south Highland Dr. in Sandy.

51 Blessings Pic...

Posted by Picasa

CHALLENGE: 52 Blessings (51 for me, oh well!)

About 52 Blessings:Once a week post a photo of something you are most grateful for. This gives us a chance to reflect on the good things we have learned from or that have made us better in our everyday lives or things we just enjoy! I think everyone needs to be more grateful for what they have now days instead of always thinking about what we want! This is one of the things we can do to be more gracious people. It will be like a photo gratitude journal.I'm excited to express my gratitude on "paper" at least once a week. I can't wait to feel all of your joy as I read your blog entries. So, if you're in, let me know! I would love to swing by and read! I will start this Sunday and do it every Sunday this year
I got this idea on my friend Jenifer's blog. What a great idea, accentuate the positive!!
I am grateful for: My hands. They are all scarred up because they've been through everything, and they work hard. They do hair. They sew, crochet, tat, and scrapbook. They tuck my boy in at night, and pinch his bum. They type these words from my heart. They fit nicely into Greg's hands. They heal. They nails sometimes get painted and feel fancy. There is almost always haircolor staining them. They click that remote! They dial a number to call an old friend. I don't know what I'd do without them.
Now it's your turn! What are you thankful for this week?

Good for You, Cannon Boy!!!

Well, this may only be cool to me because I'm the Mom, but I'll share anyway.....
Look how good Cannon is at coloring in the lines!! It's so fun to see him learn and grow and develop new skills! He even put a C and a W at the bottom, his initials!
And, last night I went in the bathroom to find him REPLACING the toilet paper after he used the last bit of the other roll!! I am so so so proud! That is a big deal, especially for someone of the male persuasion, right??
Well, enjoy, and have a good day!

i'm still here.....

Oh geez-- look at the date of my last entry! I've been in a funk! I call it "cave time"! I have to go in the cave and just do only the necessary essentials. Sorry! This always happens for me in January and September...... I know why in September, I just haven't figured out the Jan. reason yet~! Maybe I need some sunshine!
So sorry I've been gone, I just need to protect my spark, because any little breeze will blow it out!
Love you!
