"Can You Make Me Something?"

The other day our neighbor girl asked if I would make her something to put her ear buds in that attached to her keys.



Voila!

I think I will make myself something like this that fits my ID for when I'm at the gym.

Retro Apron

Just made this adorable little apron for sweet little girl's birthday.



It was a pattern for an adult, but (somehow) I managed to size it for a 5 year-old. Yay me! Yay easy pattern!

I hope she likes it.

Here is one of my kids modeling it for us:



So cute! I can't wait to make one for myself.

The Labor and the Love

Well, I've been away from my blog for a long time. Why? I've been working on an amazing quilt!


The Labor....


...and the LOVE!



This is my first quilt made from a pattern. It's from Lunden Designs and it's called Northern Exposure. Check out all of her fabulous work at http://lundendesigns.com/my-goods/quilts/

Her pattern was extremely easy to follow and I can't wait to pick up one of her next amazing quilt patterns!

Here are some more pictures of the quilt I made, which is a birthday gift for a great friend's little girl:
