I have a problem....

So the problem is that I love fabric. I love looking at fabric. I love dreaming of fabric. I could spend hours in a fabric store. And I have. Anyway, I'm just not crafty enough to know what to do with it. I was blog hopping again, and I saw some cute tea towels that a girl had made, so I decided to give it a shot. They were pretty easy. I actually did two in between Parker leaving for school and when I had to take Conner. A fun project to pass the time. Try to ignore the bottom left one. It's upside down. I guess I'll be keeping that one!

First day of School!

It's back to school time! Parker starts middle school this year. I think I was more nervous than he was. Logan was put in a 5/6 combo class. I guess he is a better student than I thought. I would be scared to be in with all those big sixth graders! Conner started kindergarten. I'm not sure if he was nervous or not. He doesn't show emotion about these kind of things. All I know is that it is really quiet around here!

Today's project was......

A new cover for my ironing board! It was really easy. My old one was literally falling apart. Now I have one that matches my new (and still unfinished) laundry room. And it's a good thing tomorrow is Saturday, the special day, the day we get ready for Sunday, because my house is a D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R! I know, it's sideways, but I can't figure out how to rotate the darn picture.

Craftin' up a storm

What does one do when they wake up one day and realize it's time to cut back? No more Target when I'm bored. No more lunch dates. No more Diet Coke. This is what happened to me. I pulled out the old sewing machine and scraps of material I had laying around and I went to town. Recognize the red and blue skirt? It was a dress I made for Paige a few months ago, but she never wore it because it didn't really fit right. So I chopped it in half and made it a skirt. Now she loves it! I even made matching hair clips. Now I'm exhausted.

Then I made some bags.

Millie and Mike's Wedding

Soooo.....as usual, I only got a couple of shots of my sister's wedding. Someday I will remember to use my camera. They are just so cute!

Schools out, Schools out, teacher let the monkeys out!

Why is the last week of school so exhausting?! It seems like there is some sort of activity, or assembly every day. Of course, I forgot my camera for almost all of them. Logan made honor roll for all four quarters this year and got to have his parents come for a special dessert party. Parker also made honor roll for all four quarters and I was able to go to his honor roll luncheon at Coconut Joes with him. Conner also graduated from his school. It was very cute. Parker also turned 12 and so we had a birthday party for some of his school friends yesterday. We are very proud of all of our boys for being such good students this year. Hopefully they stay that way! Now, if Paige would let me sleep in, life would be grand.
