Baby Items

Have you ever found yourself just finding something you love to and before you

know it, you are sleeping, eating and talking about it???? Well, I do and I have finally came out of my sewing coma. I have a couple of baby showers that I have been making gifts for.

Here are some of the bibs, burp rags and a blanket. These items will soon be for sale so take a peep and let me know what you think by leaving me a comment.

This one was hard to see using a camara,

I took a close up picture so
you can see what was on the bib.
I love this one...




Burp Rags


Kyia's new blanket when she comes into this world....

Well, I have to get back to sewing.
I have more baby showers next week.
So many babies!!!!!

What a wonderful day I had with my Mother-n-law.

She was very helpful in teaching me

alot of new sewing and embroidery techniques.

I know some of you have done these before, but for me,

sewing has always been something I have wanted to learn for a long time.

I knew the basics like sewing a straight line

but I wanted to expand outside of "the line".

Thanks to Gail, I am learning.

Embroidery Cards

Applique Turtle

These Gift Bags are really neat!

Baby Bid

I know what I am going to be doing,

being very busy making all kinds of projects!!!

"I can't wait until tomorrow"

I will be on my way to my Mother-n-laws house

to do a fun filled day of girl talk and

sewing, sewing, sewing!!!!!

I will be sure to take pictures so I can post them.

Weight

Okay, so I need a little humor to go with this diet that I have been on. It seems it's been a life time that I have been on this so called diet! I know I am writing off the usual topic here but I needed to just express myself with a little fun here since it seems like all I do is worry about it.
So for anyone out there that feels like weight is weighing you down, take the advice in the picture above. We Must Get The Word Out!!!!

About Me

I am married to a great man and together we have 4 teenagers. 3 boys and 1 girl. I stay pretty busy with helping my husband with our business and keeping up with my teens. I'm a crafter by heart. I love to sew, quilt, scrapbook, decorate and so much more. If I could just stay home and do nothing but craft I would be in heaven!!! But, I have to feed my kids. I also love to shop for bargins. I do what I can to find a great buy and when I do, it's like Christmas to a kid.

I hope you enjoy my blog and please leave me a comment when you can. I am always trying to change up my blog to make it pretty so you might see changes as you visit. Please bare with me as I love to decorate, even my blog.

Foggy River

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but with the kids out of school for the summer and us going on vacation it has been pretty crazy around here. We took a vacation and stayed at a place called Foggy River in Branson, MO. The river was beautiful and each morning we would take our cup of coffee and sit down by the river and watch as the fog would move across the river. It was so peaceful and wonderful. Take a look at these pictures.

This is looking down the river that stays at 43 degrees all year long.

This is the entry to the place we stayed at. You can see the fog on the river.

We also had a dock that we fished for trout off of.

Here is the fog that would come in every morning and evening and sit on the river.




This is the place we stayed at. It was beautiful and huge.
See why I didn't want to come home?

If you would like any information about staying at Foggy River, contact me.
