And the Worthy Goods set-up…
Lori was hard at work:)
I still need to get a shot of you Debbie! Beware, I will get one at the next show;)
And a few spring pictures of Ally…
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!
And a cute little spring picture of one of my favorite models
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…
Ally’s new quilt and pillow
A braided rug for William’s room that is taking MUCH longer than planned!
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!
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!
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.
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!
That’s all for now!
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!
We finally made it out of here the day after Christmas, only to get stuck in Montana! The transmission died on my Explorer when we got there. I am so thankful that it made it there at least! It really was a blessing in disguise since we were able to spend an extra week with our family. We were also there to say goodbye to my Brother-in-law as he was leaving for Iraq.
Isn’t that the sweetest and saddest picture ever? This is him with his wife and his youngest daughter. I hope this year flies for them!!!
Of course I had plenty of free time to take pictures too!
This one is so cute. William looks so huge here!
I have been talking about doing this shoot since before summer and here it finally is!
This is my favorite image of the moment…
Thanks for looking! Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!
Seriously. Let’s see, between the two of them they sing, play the piano, drums, guitar, harmonica, even the cow bell. lol! I know there are more, but I can’t think of the name of anymore instruments. Oh, they also write songs. On top of all that, Christie is also an amazing artist! She is working on a painting for me as we speak. I can’t wait!
Had to get creative with this one 
The artist ….formerly known as Christie.
Precious little girls!
And some Stumptown coffee…
