During a quick trip to Goodwill with my sisters yesterday, I found, among an awesome set of framed "season" prints, this cute Target reject shirt for $4. I loved the print, but the shirt wouldn't have really worked for me. I decided to get it and make a skirt or something for Sadie out of it. Then after studying it for a bit, I thought, hey maybe I … [Read more...]

There's just too much fun stuff going on, that's all. Today my mom and the other twin moms in the ward threw a shower for our bishop's wife who's having twins but who's moving to Utah in a few weeks. Phew. That woman is a trooper with a capital T! We're going to miss Marcie so much! I work with her in Primary, and she is such a great friend and … [Read more...]

How have I never heard of this website Picnik? It's awesome! It's free, although of course you can pay to get "special features". I liked the simple and fun stuff you can do. Having no Photoshop skills, or the actual program Photoshop, I've never played around with photos this much...and boy is it fun. (read: addicting) It kept me up an hour past … [Read more...]

The top is officially done! I finished it today during her nap, hooray! I love it. It's very big though. Like twin size. It will cover a lot of people on the couch, which is kind of what I had in mind for it, a throw. Maybe it will be Sadie's bedspread when she gets into a real bed. We'll see. Now to pick out the backing fabric and binding and … [Read more...]

It's been so … [Read more...]

In my daydreams, this quilt is already quilted and bound. Ah, denial. There is still much to be done, but the top is almost done! (and just in time for the summer heat.)Just need some more fabric, er, a sheet from WalMart, (can't beat $4 for a twin) to finish the sides. I used the tutorial here, and am pretty much copying the quilt in the picture. … [Read more...]
our front yard and rhino hair.
May 17, 2009 By 3 Comments
Yesterday we went shopping for plants for the front yard. On a day that was about 100 degrees. In a greenhouse. Wow, not the smartest thing we've ever done, but oh well! We had Rory's parents (avid gardeners) to help us choose what to plant, since, if I was left to my own devices, I would pick something totally wrong and poisonous to boot. We … [Read more...]
