Wedding....

This last Saturday turned out to be a day I will never forget. My Brother in-law Matt got married to a wonderful girl named kathy. The ceremony was the perfect blend of beauty, grace, romance,  laughter, and good hearted fun. With the kids and Brian in the wedding I couldn't wait to snap a few pictures of day. With occasional rain showers and the dark clouds we waited for a last min decision in inside or out for the ceremony. It turned out to be absolutely beautiful, not only was the sky clear and everyone dressed so nice the smiles on the faces of everyone there said it all! As I looked around and saw everyone watching the Bride and Groom I knew not only were they two people in love but a couple who is deeply loved by many others. Matt and Kathy congratulation!

field day...

Sorry no updates for a while, our computer has been out and I still have not figured out why when I post pictures to the blog they are all fuzzy. SO until I have my husband help me solve the mystery you will just have to look at fuzzy pictures, so sorry! Here are some pictures from Mr. C's field day at school because I was helping Calleigh got to join with us and even play some of the games. We lucked out with no rain and just a bit chilly weather. It was fun morning and I loved to see just how much friendships have developed over the school year. We were blessed to have the teacher we had and I will write more about that tomorrow. I feel lucky that Mr C had such a wonderful year!

Flower Pillow

When we did not move after all last year we decide to redo the kids room. So with new paint on the wall and new bunk beds from Ikea it was time to pick a theme.  Well Mr C wanted super hero and Miss C wanted flowers. So I decided to start with the little red kitchen they have and go from there. I found on major clearance two King size white sheets. I folded them in half sewed the top and sides together and added velcro to the bottom to make duvet cover. From there I made them some simple red and blue throw pillows. Flowers for Miss C and Superhero for Mr C.  Last summer I found this tutorial online to make a felt flower pillow and new it would be perfect for Miss C and I finally made it this last week. It was hard to get a good picture but you get the idea. 

Sewing Day 2

Many people go to goodwill now, I love that  being thrifty has become trendy. I love going to goodwill and garage sales in hopes of one thing most the time, FABRIC! I love finding something and looking to see what it can become. Some of the easiest is taking a women's shirt and turning into a sun dress for Miss C. I found this Liberty of London brand women's top for just 3.99 at goodwill. I loved the way it flared out and I knew I could change it pretty fast. All I did was take in the very top part and move the straps over. In about 20 min  we had a new dress! Miss C's favorite part, it is a "spiny"dress!

1/2 Birthday

This half birthday was celebrated with a Harry Potter Lego sticker book, homemade chicken noodle soup and apple pie, and lot of smiles. I can't believe just how much he has grown in the last 6m. He is reading on his own, lost 3 teeth, discovered he loves math, chocolate and being outside. I love you my dear sweet boy!

Coffee Cozy

  This last week has been raining like crazy so I got out my sewing machine! I thought I would show each day what I have been working on.  For teacher appreciation and Mothers day I made a few "coffee cozies" from a tutorial I found a couple years ago. I have been wanting to make them for a while but just got around to it. The best part of them is the amount of fabric you need is pretty small so I made them all from scrap fabric I already had. For Mr C's teacher and Grammy I gave it to them wrapped around a Strabucks cup with a gift card inside. For my mom and mom in-law I gave it with a book to read. For Miss C's teacher I attached a note that said "Thanks a latte". This week I made a few more for the Library and office staff at Mr C's school and for bunco prizes at church.  Super easy and fun!
