Girlie Girls First Sewing Project

My Girlie Girl has been wanting to learn how to sew. So for her first project we worked on a drawstring bag. It was so fun to do together. She did a great job for her first time working with the sewing machine.

I can't believe how old she is. I get so sad sometimes watching my babies grow up, but then I have moments like this with my Girlie Girl and I wonder why I ever miss the diaper stage.

Yummy Sourcream Blueberry Muffins

These muffins are the bomb. In the words of Rachael Ray Yummmo, except the recipe isn't from Rachael Ray it is from The Idea Room Go look it up on her blog and make theses today. (Her picture is much better than mine, but mine still tastes good!)

Staying Sane?

My girlie girl has had a case of pneumonia this week, so instead of going crazy with worry I retreat into my sewing machine. This is what I've accomplished in the last 5 days. You should see my laundry pile, it ain't pretty. This will be a quilt that will go on my great room wall. I still need to put on a border and binding, but I'm not sure how I am going to quilt it.

This is the most fun and enjoyable quilt I have ever made. I would do this one again and again. It is going on my kitchen table.

This was a fun purse pattern. The first purse I have made. My girlie girl loved it so much I got some fabric to make her one. She can't wait for me to get started.

And of course I had to make some booties for my sisters soon to be baby girl with the left over fabric. I love these. I wonder if I could make them in my size? The pattern for the purse and booties is found on makeitandloveit.blogspot.com. She sells the patterns in her etsy shop.

Past Projects

I covered some styrofoam board with some fabric and ribbon for my girlie girl to put her earings into. I made a skirt for the girlie girl.

I made this flower quilt to go above her bed. It's the some colors as her bed spread.

This was a fun project. I made a couple of these for my lovely sisters boys for their birthdays. See the picture below to see how it folds up to fit in the diaper bag. The tutorial for this is found on homemakebyjill.blogspot.com

Crayon roll. I love this fast project. I think it's a great birthday gift along with a coloring book. This one is my sons, but I also make one for my niece. It rolls up to fit in a church bag or backpack or purse or..... whatever you get the point. Tutorials for these are found everywhere. Just google crayon roll.
