Mayo Craft Fair

I have been a little busy bee getting things ready for the Mayo Craft Fair this Saturday! This is a portion of the pile I have started to make in the middle of the floor of things I need to throw in the car on Friday afternoon... I hope I don't forget anything.
This year I am selling key chains, a few different types of headbands, baby blankets, bibs, onesies, bib necklaces and girl's outfits. I have found a lot of new gorgeous fabrics and it has been so much fun to work on all these projects. Some new and exciting items and some old stand-bys. For now I just have a billion details to finish. It has all been surprisingly low stress and quite enjoyable. I might have something different to say on Saturday night!

Busy and Loving It

I have had a productive couple of days... I love it when that happens.

When I first get the hang of a new pattern, I just can't stop with one...

Fall Dresses and a Photo Shoot

I made out daughters some coordinating outfits! I have been really into making dresses lately... fun stuff.

First Day of School Party

Super easy and fun! Every year on the first day of school, we have a root beer float party. We just set up a folding table, throw out a few quilts and pass out root beer floats in plastic cups with spoons and straws to our school friends on the front lawn. It is a very easy, cheap and fun tradition. This was our 7th year.

New Ruffle Duvet

I have been wanting a cover for our comforter for a while now, but the ones I love are always out of my (non-existent) budget. I snatched up a plain white duvet cover on sale for $19! I cut up some jersey knit sheets, ruffled them and then sewed them on the duvet cover 4.5 inches apart. Voila, a new duvet cover! Our bed is a queen, but I hate how queen size blankets never cover our mattress. So I bought a king size and cut it down just a bit so that it is the perfect size to cover the ugliness. It is so soft, comfy, wonderful and the perfect size.
