Merry Everything...

...from our family to yours!

Such a Wonderful weekend...

On Friday, the boys and I went to Lincoln to spend the weekend with my brother and his family to celebrate Ben's graduation from college. I am so proud of him and all his accomplishments and cannot wait to see what is to come! I also got to have the honor of joining Lisa in going to see the Nutcracker. It truly was so beautiful...the classic dance, the lush sets and costumes and of course so romantic. Such a wonderful weekend.

Not Just a Strap...

I had to stop and just make something today for me...I have seen these and wanted to get one made. But this last month I have been working on Christmas Projects for those I love (that is why nothing has been posted, you cannot see until you open).

So this morning I decided to make a cover that goes over my DSLR camera strap. Just a little fun fabric for the girly side of me, the colors just make me smile!

Hold Tightly...

Sew darn cute...

I really wish I would have taken a picture of the old sweater I cut up to make this scarflette and hat. I have seen so many different blogs on upcycling your old clothes, I finally just took an old sweater from my closet that I don't think I have worn more then once, over two years ago (I bought it from Pamida, which could be the reason:) and I began to cut it up! This is what I was able to sew up. It turned out SEW DARN CUTE!! I am loving it sew much I think I will have to make me one.

Say Cheese...

I like to joke with Joe that he should not use "my bathroom" I choose to not use the one downstairs so somehow I think that the upstairs bathroom should just be mine. (I do have to share this house with 3 boys shouldn't I have my own private bathroom?? So this is no more than a big joke that we go round and round.
But when Riley got a new book and in it was some funny posters like this one we decided they where ment to put up for daddy's humor. Ry and I posted this one up last night (Ry could not take the fact that Joe had not seen it before going to bed, so Ry asked him if he needed to use the bathroom before he brushed his teeth) Joe bit hook, line, and sinker...everyone of us got a great laugh. So if you use my bathroom please remember to Say Cheese :)
