2011 Goals

Well, after I purchased my sewing machine 2.5 years ago and reflected on all the things I'd made in that first year, I was pretty surprised at myself!  It's exciting to see all the things I've done and what's even more exciting is knowing all the things I can do just by trying!

So for Christmas, my dear sweet thoughtful husband bought me one super large cutting mat so I don't turn our dining table into chips for the fireplace, nice new scissors, an Amy Butler gumdrop pillow pattern, Stitch magazine and more!   My goal???   (Wow, this is going to be fun)
SEWING:
Birthday Blanket for big girl
Gumdrop pillow (or 2, or 3)
Pillow cushions for the children's chairs
Garment Bags
Girls slippers
Nephew a Dream on the Go pillow
Circles table runner
Myself a skirt or two
the girls a dress (maybe a few)
my handsome boy a little tie
NON SEWING:
Mod Podge wall art for our room
Paint a few toy boxes and make cushions for the top
Cover the girls headboard

AND all of the spur of the moment projects that strike me right before an event!
Really, I look forward to this year for so many reasons and am so thankful at how blessed I am!  My main goal is to put in more time with God in the midst of this busy household!  Now, Little Rhino is waking from his nap and I want to do some yoga!

Skirt of many ruffles

So, I became addicted to www.pinterest.com and came across this skirt (pinned on my board) and thought, 'OH, I could do this no problem'...............then I had a few cheerleaders and became pumped up about starting this project! Off to Joann's (not expecting to find fabric there that I'd actually like) and these five prints popped out so fast I knew I had to do this! OH SO FEMININE............but what a beast it was to add these ruffles (to a previously owned long black Ann Taylor skirt I hadn't worn in like a decade)! I think the skirt must weigh like 23 lbs! It ended up taking me a good 2 weeks to complete these and I was dreading each ruffle before I was halfway done...TIDYIOUS....rgh! I'm most excited about the tie I made for my little sweetheart to coordinate with this ruffly beast! pics to post soon btw, I'm not a model, hate modeling and my 6.5 year old was the photographer but I really wanted to post this creation!

Happy Camper Laundry Bag

This was made when Bronson was just 2 weeks old for a special camper who wanted to have her laundry in style too!
