Pregnant Brain

This is what bread looks like after you put it in a warn oven to rise and then forget about it and go to bed.

Star Makeover

This is my Christmas star I got it for our first Christmas as a married couple. I love my star. It has lots of good memories I love how Eric fastened a black coat hanger to the star when the star would not say on top of the tree so I could wire securely in place. Since then I have wished it was gold to go with all my other Christmas things but I can't bare to replace it. This year I was feeling especially crafty (pregnant) and i had an idea.


I bet I could just paint over my star with glue and cover the silver glitter with gold. So I did and I think it turned out great.

Did I mention I am pregnant and my brain is not what it should be? Well I did this project wile my little girl Livvy was napping so she would not get into the glitter. When I was done I however didn't put the glitter away and found this mess. When Livvy got up she had chewed though the glitter bottle and dumped the entire bottle all over the chair, the floor and herself.

David Designed

David wanted to make something for Olivia for Christmas. I saw the idea to turn a child’s drawing into a stuffed creation. So I suggested it and David loved the idea. So he worked hard to make a drawing that could become a stuffy. I helped him turn the drawing into a stuffy. It was very cute he was very involved in every in every part of the posses. He picked the fabric made changes to the doll from his drawing it was so sweet how hard he worked. He was a little annoyed in the end that the arms could not be thinner but I assured him that is as thin as I could do.

Best Quilt Frames Ever! spread the word

I saw these quilt frames that I though where ingenious so I showed Eric and he said it would be easy to make. He spent his holiday Wednesday making me these. They work so well the quilt goes on faster and comes off is seconds plus it saves my thumbs from pressing in tacks and trying to pry them off after. Words cannot describe how thrilled I am with these quilt frames!

I am Grateful

I am grateful for many things this year, I especially grateful for my family and friends. I had a wonderful thanksgiving because of both. I had fun decorating and cooking. Thank you to Eric my wonderful husband who made the best turkey ever (brined Turkey). Who also saved my gravy and who made me the best quilt frames ever.
