Cute little fabric basket.

I loveeee this little fabric basket.!! I have been following crazymomquilts christmas tutorials and have been so inspired. After seeing the little fabric basket the other day I knew I just had to try it. I had some fabric left from my scarecrow wall hanging and ta-da!!

Mr. Scarecrow

I saw this pattern in a quilt magazine and had to make him! I completed it just in time to display on these beautiful fall days.




Isn't he sooooo cute! I am so please on how it turned out.

Sunflowers

My inlaws have grown these beautiful tall sunflowers this year. I thought what a great photo op! So we grabbed the step latter and took some pics!

First day of school!

It's been quite busy in our household the last week..wood to put in for winter, we'll be nice and cozey now!

Getting kids ready for school. This is a pic with my beautiful sister Shauna who is a hairdresser. She did the kids hair for back to school. We went on a family canping trip this past weekend. A pic of me and my husband.
Nothing like gathering everyone around the campfire.
Tonight I attended the quilters guild meeting. I am so excited!! Last year I went to one later in the year, but I was just too busy and not in the right head space for sewing etc. But I have it out now and I am ready to start some projects. I bought some beautiful fabric tonight at the guild to make a table runner for christmas time. I will prob start some of it tomorrow even though I have another project on the go! I really want to make a quilt for our room this winter. That will be my "Big" project. I loved it when they did show and tell tonight...some beautiful quilts...very inspiring.

Eight 13 year old Girls in total!!

My Daughter convinced me to let her have a "end of summer" slumber party. This was a huge feat to take on...these girls are wild!!! I was still telling them to shhhhhh at 2:30 a.m.! Ah well...it was one night and memory they will have forever : )

I got busy making them a few goodies to have, they sure loved those cupcakes and cakepops(thank-you bakerella!)

Emma took a pic of me during the pre-party preparation.

p.s...I did require a late afternoon nap the following day...whew! those girls wore me out!

Yesterday...I made a apron!! : )

I've been wanting to dig out my old sewing machine and do make something. Wasn't sure what do to, but knew I wanted to do something simple since it's been a while. So, I went to walmart found a great apron pattern and grabbed some fabric.

I have only made a few things with patterns over the years. I have never found them easy, but I guess I need to just practice! It's like a puzzle..putting it all together.

I'm pretty proud of my apron : ) Next time I will tackle one of the full aprons.

I especially like the pocket on it...cute : )
