Crafty mood

So, I have been in the crafty mood lately. So, to take advantage of it, I decided to make some pillows for our couch. It was just a good excuse to make them!!! Anyways, if you look too close at the pillows you will notice that they are not completely done. I was just too excited about how they turned out that I didn't want to wait to take a picture of them when they are completely done. Keep in mind that I have not sewed in like probably a little more than 10 years. During the process of making my pillows my sewing machine stopped working. I could not figure out how to fix it. Come to find out I was threading it wrong and did the whole bobbin process all wrong. Thanks Holly for coming out to fix it for me. It took her like two seconds....as I knew it would. I am sure anybody would have been able to figure it out but me. :) So, now that I "kind of," finished my pillows I am in the mood to do more sewing. So, I have a few things on my list that I want to do.

Next Project: Audrey's little red riding hood costume!!!!

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
