Where the wild things are!

William is 4!  The party was a blast.  Between Halloween and the birthday party I am exhausted!  We all took a big sigh of relief at the end of the day.

…and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max and he sailed off through night and day… 

This is what happens when I give my hubby some cardboard and ask for a boat. Amazing!

He also decorated the cupcakes!

Yum

Pin the tail on Max…

Homemade beanbag toss…. My carpet looks dirty in this picture. Ick! I promise that it’s not dirty! Well, not visibly dirty. Ha!

William has some of the cutest friends! I made them felt crowns with their initial. Super easy and super cute!

Thirsty little man!

Cupcakes

Okay, now were ready for cupcakes!  Make a wish!

 

Delish.

Friends

Now it’s time for presents. Let’s start with the biggest first!

Happy birthday William!

 

Pumpkin Patch

We decided to skip the “Mega” pumpkin patch this year and just headed up the street to Joe’s Farm.  Ally had her face painted but William decided he didn’t want anyone coloring on his face.  He did tell Ally later that day “You look beautiful with that on your head”. LOL!  I agree:)

Then home for cocoa and cookies! I love fall. We took a fall walk later in the day and I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera!  Next time I will remember!

He’s ready for Halloween!

That makes one of us at least!  This “Max” costume was more work than I thought it would be, but so worth it!  William is turning 4 November 1st and will be having a Where the Wild Things Are birthday party. I’m working on decorations now. I have a lot to get done in the next few days!

And I just LOVE this one of Cadence. I had a comment on Flickr that she looks like a little sparrow. So precious!

So, the show this weekend was just beautiful. It was called Whimsical Wishes, and some friends of mine had a booth there. Their company is called Worthy Goods. Gorgeous!

Off to sew, sew, sew some aprons!

I took a couple of my Jr.Highers hiking along with my kiddos. I thought I would post those pictures since I haven’t even uploaded my Easter pictures yet!

And some more projects…

And this doll quilt and pillow were so much fun to make, and so cute! Ally’s friend Danielle wanted to sew a quilt for her doll, so it was the project at the last sleepover.

Now, my next project will be to get some Easter pictures uploaded and edited ;)

Oh, here is a link to my newest inspiration: http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/   Gorgeous!

This is what happens when Ally and Danielle get together!
Daniell’s dad is in charge of video for our church, so they had a camera man handy for their little commercial. Thanks Randy!

I have a cold…

and this is why

I have to say it was a blast! I am definitely wearing a crazy green outfit next year. The reason for the cold? Well, I was already getting sick on Saturday, and after the early morning run in the rain (brrrrr) I was down for the count! So, I am typing this in my robe while sipping on Thera Flu.

I finally decided on the craft I we will be doing at out women’s retreat this year. Should I spill the beans? Here is a sneak peek at the yummy fabric!

Here are the prototypes

Super cute half-aprons! I will be making them ahead of time and the project will be to embellish them. I am in the process of gathering buttons, felt, embroidery thread and anything else I can think of!

I have been trying to find a way to make fabric flowers that is simple and cute. My first try was much more time consuming than planned! We won’t be making these, but they are cute anyway!

These are much simpler:

I found this idea on Heather Bailey’s blog. I could just look at her blog all day. So many pretty things!

Well, off to sew some more!

Where to start…..

I haven’t posted in a while! Busy with church, family, soccer……and sewing! My newest hobby! I finally had a chance to get my sewing machine out of the box last week. I like to learn by doing, so I decided to make a quilt! This one is William’s.

For William

My first quilt

I think he loves it ;)

We had 80’s night with the Jr.Highers this week. I even crimped my hair for the occasion! It was so fun to have this many girls crammed in the bathroom at church. Makeup and hair crimping!

So, if you look closely you will notice I have a boo-boo on my lip. I play indoor soccer on Saturdays and I got hit in the face with a ball. I had to head over to the hopital to get my lip super glued closed. Ouch!!! It’s just about healed up now. Let’s see if I can’t hurt myself again tomorrow. Sheesh!

Okay, last thing to talk about is a new baby! I had the priveledge to take pictures of litte Mr. Caden. So cute!

My favorite baby model isn’t a baby anymore! Sigh. She just looks so grown up now!

We gave her nail polish to distract her. This picture looks like she’s trying to decide which color to use. So girly! We did this mini shoot in Ally’s room. It was the perfect site!
