Some pads 4 me

I love velour pads now. So I made me some more. I cant get my serger to do right, otherwise Im happy with them


Emb tee-shirt

Sara's Grandma Cheryl sent this yellow teeshirt, so I decided to dress it up with some embroidery


hot pad

I used the same fabric decor as my kitchen and emb on it.

Saras Quilt done

This turned out to be major work. I suggest no one try to use sherpa(verythick stuff) on the back of a quilt. It will create madness. I ended up pipping it off and put solid green on back. The emb butterflies look good except for one, the hoop popped off while sewing and I could rehoop it the same as it was so its screwed up. I ended up just sewing right side together and the then sewing down is a few spots. Its for sure not my best work, but she cuddles with it...



Eli's gifts

4 cloth pads I made for her postpartum, velour on top, fleece in bk and microfiber soaker.


An hawaiian burp cloth I made





A tag blanket I made


I also ordered her 4 LittlebeanDiapers

My Peach Cobbler

This is the best peach cobbler and is very easy to make.
1 large or 2 small cans of peaches sliced
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup self rising flour
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of cinnamin

Put butter in your baking dish, microwave to melt. Mix sugar, flour, milk and extract in a bowl. Pour into the melted butter. Drain peaches, arrange in the dish. Sprinkle cinnamin on top. Bake in 350 oven for 50-60 mins. Yum-O!



Before baking
All done!

Wallhanging Gift

My sister was blessed, and was able to get her house expanded and have her very own sewing room. So to help her with decor I made her a wallhanging. Yes she could make it herself but I wanted something that was from me and showed my love for her. Click to enlarge...



My diaper attempt




I love amp diapers, well, I cant find anyone who will sell to me in the United States so I tried myself at making them. my serger messed up on me but other than that Im pleased with my first attempt.

Sara's Changing Table

This is just a peak at Saras changing station, the basket of dipes is usually underneath but I wanted them in pic.



Kids craft

Once a week we have craft day. Last weeks craft was making those things that you have to iron the beads and it seals it together. I had to practially do Emalys and helped Leia do theirs but they had a blast. Sebastain even joined us for this one. They wear them all the time....

What do you see?


Ok ladies, another picture story. Take a pic of what see when your standing at your sink...... The above picture is what I see while standing at my kitchen sink. I have my cutco knifes out of reach of little ones. I have my karinas kitchen thingy I made a long time ago, I have a playdough thing that Sebastian made me, I have a candle that never gets lit and picture of three of my kids, then the paper basket is something that Sebastian also made for me many years ago for Mothers Day all by himself and it means alot to me, Then hanging on the pegs are a wallhanging my friend Christi sent me for my birthday, a baby washcloth and a hotpad that I made while visiting family last year....



Now the rules are simple, take the pic now, dont doctor the area in which you see. Take it as is and let me know when you do so I may see.....

Coffee?

Here's me favorite coffee cup. When I was living back in North Carolina, my mother in law would make coffee on sunday afternoons for us to enjoy together. (She does this every afternoon, but also with us on Sunday as a family) Well I would always grab this coffee cup. So when we moved to Hawaii she gave me this cup. Everytime I drink coffee at home, I use this cup. Its my favorite and holds a special memory for me. Coffee with mom.


Do you have a favorite coffee cup? If so share yours with me. Let me know you posted one by commenting here. I look forward to seeing your cup and hearing its story.

More cloth napkins!

These match my kitchen perfectly. Yellow flannel on one side with the blue flower print on one side. I only made 4 right now but plan to make more. These are honestly the best way I have found so far at making cloth napkins.
