Update

Well the weeks finally here... We are supposed to close on our house THIS FRIDAY! If all the paperwork gets back in time, we may close on Wednesday. My house is my early birthday present because I am turning the BIG 25 on Sunday! WOW! I cannot believe it! Time sure has flown by!

More exciting news...I met some of my future neighbors this past weekend and they are awesome! I cannot wait to get to know them better!

A little update...The countdown begins for my niece! I have heard that she seems to want to make an appearance a little early! Maybe we will have another April birthday in our family! Love you already Victoria!

Baby Victoria Elizabeth

In March, I gave my sister in-law and brother a baby shower. They are having a little girl "Victoria Elizabeth" in May! Yes, she is the first grandchild and is already spoiled!

For my brother, I wanted to do something goofy. At most baby showers, there are mostly gifts for the mom and the baby, but I wanted things to be a little different. I made my brother a "Daddy Duty" tool belt. I included items such as diapers, face mask, gloves, baby powder, etc. He loved it!


This is called a "Blessing Ring." I made it for my sister in-law to hang on Victoria's door to her room. At her shower, I asked the guests to write a prayer for baby Victoria, parental advice, or a scripture. After the shower, I attached the sayings onto ribbon and hung them on the ring. This hangs on Victoria's room reminding her that people are praying for her each and every day.









This is Victoria's bow holder. This was my first project for her because every little girl has tons of bows and needs a place to hang them! Unfortunately, I have not found the time to make her any bows, but she has received lots at her showers!










Mom & Dad! We cannot wait until the arrival of Baby Victoria! She is a blessing already! Please keep them in your prayers as they wait upon her arrival!

Diaper Cake! This was my first one to make. It was a lot of fun. I sewed fabric together to decorate the outside.You can also make burp cloths,
like the ones in previous post and place around it.

Projects

So my pictures aren't that great, but I'm just posting some of the stuff I worked on last summer and throughout the school year. All of these projects were finished in one night. I LOVE simple but cute projects!

Cute and Easy Purse! I used fat quarters to make the purse and it closes with a magnetic snap.

Checkbook Cover/Calendar Holder
Also made out of fat quarters!

Super Easy Burp Cloths made for my best friends baby shower!

I will post more pictures on here soon! Just trying to get used to how all of this works! Thanks for being patient!

New House

I know that this blog is supposed to be mostly for my sewing projects, but I wanted to share some exciting news about some things happening in our life. Ryan and I love living in South LA! We have recently joined a new church, love our jobs, and are making lots of new friends. We are currently living in an apartment, but after much prayer, we found a home and are closing on April 16th! We are so excited!

I plan to post some more pictures after we have settled in!

Blog

First off, I am going to try my best to keep this blog updated as often as possible. This blog is to help our family and friends that live out of town to keep up with us! Thanks for reading! More to come later...
