New Hair!

I have had curly, frizzy, unmanageable hair all my life.  My niece whom is a hair stylist has been bugging me to straighten it.  I took the plunge and let her do her thing.  I love the outcome!  I no longer have to wash it every day nor use tons of product on it.  I am so pleased with the outcome.

 

Octonaut Birthday for my grandson

I made a banner and had it printed at Staples.

I made the invite on Photoshop

We found ideas on Pinterest for the goodie table.  The kids loved it!

Safeway included a smash cake.

Safeway made the cake they let us bring our own Octonauts figure

We couldn't find an Octonauts t-shirt so daddy made him one

 A special book for Ryder James

I saw a book on line and had to make one for my grandson!  I had a lot of fun making it but it did take a long time to put it together.
I used Pint Sized Productions to print my book.  They have a template you can download to create your own book.  If you don't want to create one from scratch they have ready made ones you can add your pictures to.  I will definitely be making another one for my grandson for his first year.

Last summer I spent many hours sewing gifts for friends and family.  This is my grandson using the car carrier blanket I made.  It keeps him warm and comfy.  Mom gets many compliments on it.

I am looking forward to another summer of sewing.  I already have a list of projects I need to complete... Another car road map quilt, car carrier blanket and several diaper bags!

QUILTS FOR CHRISTMAS!

My Aunt Doris is an avid sewer and quilter too!  I have waited a long time to get one of her beautiful quilts.  This year my mom surprised all of us girls with one of my Aunt Doris' quilts.  My Aunt Doris is going blind and has a hard time sewing now.  I admire her work.

LOVE THIS GUY!
Grams and Auntie quit messing with me... 3 days old.

FIRST PHOTO SHOOT

 This was a few photos from my first attempt at an infant photo shoot.  I was not able to get sleepy time shots which I had anticipated.  This was harder than I expected and I am not real pleased with the outcome but mom loves them.
