New Years Resolution

For 2010 I have decided to make 12 quilts in 12 months...that means I'm planning on making 1 quilt per month! The first 3 months will be patterns that have flowers on them to be used at my mom's shop (SunFlower Quilts) for the shop hop at the end of March. Her theme is "Garden Theme" so we need to make lots of garden/flower stuff to display around the shop! I am so excited and I finished picking all my patterns last night!

January's Quilt is "I'm Blushing" from Moda Bake Shop.

Once I finish the quilt I will post a photo of what mine looks like!! I am so excited and I'm gonna start today!

Erica's First Sewing Experience!

My 12 year old sister-in-law Erica has sparked an interest in sewing lately so for Christmas we got her a sewing book. She has this week off for Christmas break still so she is spending the night tonight so we can have some sew time! We plan on making:

-A Nintendo DS Case

-A DS game roll

-A Drawstring Backpack

We've been to the fabric store and made the DS Case already. After dinner we plan on making the DS roll and then tomorrow we'll make the bag. Here are some photos of the DS case that turned out SOOOO cute!!

Craft Fair

Christmas Decor!

On Friday Jon and I picked out our first real Christmas tree!! I am SOOOO excited! Christmas is my favorite and I love to decorate. Since we moved into our townhouse this year we FINALLY have enough room to get a big tree! WOO HOO!! Here are some photos!

Props

If you read my blog you know that my sister-in-law Rachel is a fantastic photographer in the St. Louis area. She called me yesterday telling me that she has a newborn photoshoot on Sunday with a cute little baby girl. Well, Rachel has two boys of her own so she is able to use lots of their cute stuff for props, but she doesn't really have any girl stuff for props. Since I like to craft she called me for help!! I made her a cute little flannel blanket and a pink tutu with a flower detail! I've been wanting to make a tutu for a while so this was a great reason to finally try it! It was super easy and one of the cutest things ever! Let me know what ya'll think!

7 Crayon Rolls and a Scarf!

So my craft fair is a little over a month away and I need to get busy making stuff to fill my booth!Today I made 7 crayon rolls, two with the same fabric and 6 other different ones! Below are some photos! This week I also crocheted a blue and green scarf! Let me know what you think!
