scrap pillow

I'm so excited to share this pillow with you! It was so much fun to make and
I am so happy with the way it turned out:)
My sister in law turned 13...so I wanted to give her something cute and fun

I cut out two pieces of material the size of the pillow.
I used white because the fabric I had to work with was a lot of
pink and whites.

I cut her name and some stars out of some pink material

placed and pinned them.

I know this looks crazy, but don't ever throw away scraps...
you can do so many fun things with them

I just kept piling them on top of each other

tell I thought it looked cute
after I got them how I wanted them
comes the time consuming part

pinning them

I pin it like crazy


Here is the back and front before I get to sewing!

on the front I outlined her name and the stars.




on the back you could outline it. I have done it before,
but this pillow I used way smaller scraps and
wanted to see what a zig zag stitch
going up and down would look like
I think it turned out pretty cute!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA ANNIE

kung fu panda vinyl

I'm totally in love with kung fu panda. There is a quote on there that
I have wanted to do something with since I have seen it...


So my mother being the sweet lady she is made me some vinyl with
the quote on it!!! I am so in love with it. It looks great in my living room.


thanks mommy, you are so good to me
I love you very much.

Blessed in many ways

MY little man

 I think it's safe to say this little man stole my heart. 
He has me totally and completely wrapped around his tiny little finger.

Jayson gave such a beautiful blessing.
Ty is so lucky to have such a wonderful father. 
I am truly glad he is the man Ty will be looking up to.

It was such a beautiful day. 

Ty was such a good baby and looked so handsome.

I love my family so much and appreciate all they did to make the day so wonderful!

I love Ty. 

He is the best thing to ever happen to Jays and I.
