Quilt Update

Well, I've got the squares all cut for Norah's quilt. And now I bought a new sewing machine today so I can start sewing it together!

Norah would like a blanket for bunny so I think I'll make one for her with the extra squares I've got from her blankets. And then get started on Jack's - I'm sure he'll want one for puppy as well! Oh well, gives me something to do with the extra pieces!

A New Project!

Well, I've been inspired to take on a whole new project out of my comfort zone! I was thinking how neat it would be to make a quilt of some kind and what a sense of accomplishment it would be for me when it was finished. So I decided to take my kids' baby blankets and make a rag quilt for each of them. I still had all their baby blankets cause I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them yet it felt like such a waste to just keep them in a box in the closet. So I thought this would be a great solution to keep them around! So here are the stacks of blankets ready and waiting to be cut into squares!

Christmas Cards

The last few years I've really enjoyed making photo Christmas cards to send out. Here's the two I've done for our family, as well as one for my Mom last year.

Dance!

I really love these two pages - maybe mostly cause of the subject's excitement!

Wedding Pages

My brother-in-law got married Sept. 11 and unfortunately we weren't all able to go to the wedding in Ontario. But Nate went and took some pictures so I scrapbooked those plus some pictures my mother-in-law sent me. Because it's so annoying to move pictures around on Blogger, they'll be in random order!

Birthday Invites

I love making birthday invitations for my kids' parties. Once the party theme is picked (by me or child depending what age it was!) I try to make the invite match the theme. These are the invites I made for all of my kids' birthdays so far.

New Blog!

I decided to jump on board the "create a blog for my creative stuff" bandwagon! I feel as if I'm not a creative person at all but the one thing I do really enjoy is working on stuff on my computer - digital scrapbooking pages and making digital photo cards. So this is what the blog is for. If I ever have any more creative juices for other things, they'll make the blog as well!
