Waiting and Waiting....

I know that some of you have probably been a bit concerned that I have fallen off of the end of the earth.  Rest assured I have not and actually have tons of new pictures to share.  The reason for the delay is that I have been anxiously awaiting  my new blog design.  As you can see I received it this afternoon.  Don't you love it?  The gals at Leelou Blogs were great to work with and I sure do!  It is the perfect mix of simple and scrap and I couldn't be more thrilled!

So...there are tons more to come but here are a couple to tide you over unitl then.

My new LOVE

So part of the reason for my blogging blahs is that I have new love...SEWING!  This seems so strange even to me but there is something about watching an item come to life by your own hands that is absolutely amazing! 
My first project...a crayon roll for Mayce.


This is absolutely fabulous at church and when we go out to eat.  No more searching for crayons and it's crazy cute.  GREAT COMBINATION!!

When I gave it to Mayce she looked at me and asked "Where did you get this?"  I happily responded "Well, I made it."  She stared at me in wonder.  Her response..."This is a magical night!"

She was still is not quite too sure what to think!



Next up was the burp cloths that I promised Katie in Oct.  So I was 4 months late...at least they are cute!


Then it was on to pillowcase dresses...these are actually the third set that I made.  I will have to take pics of the others and post them later.

Purple Banner had a giveaway over at cdycattle and the winner chose argyle stationary.  I wanted to make it a bit more special so I whipped up this very cute drawstirng bag.  I have since made a ditty bag for Mayce to put all of her ponies in but once again don't have a picture.

And last, but certainly not lease a camera strap for the dear Mrs. Bash.  This was actually supposed to be her Christmas present but hey like I said earlier, better late than ever.  Right? 

I found this pattern and absolutely adore it so this is what I am trying next.  Scared, much? 
You better believe it!

Better Late Than Never....

Twinkle Toes

One afternoon Mayce asked if we could paint our toes.  She was right we were all in need of a pedicure so when she aske if we could paint Ansley's too I quickly said yes.  Little bitty pink toes are cuter than cute but VERY hard to take pictures of!
Ansley was so cute! 
For about an hour afterwards everytime she looked at her toes she would lean over and touch them. 

She SO has my feet!
