a few of our creations



While Grant has been back to school, I have been able to get a few things done that have been on my list to finish up. Here are a few pics of what we have been up to this week while Jonev has been sleeping.

I finally figured out how to make a self binding blanket thanks to this great tutorial. The one that I started back in the spring didn't work out.
Two baby changing pads with a matching burp cloths for a couple of my friends. When folded it makes a pocket you can tuck diapers and a wipe case into.
My new purse, thanks to this tutorial. I have been wanting to make it for a couple of years. It is smaller than my other purse, I think that I am going to make a little bit bigger one for the times when I need to carry my stuff plus the kids things. But I love how it turned out. I appliqued the oak leaves on and then machine stitched over them the leaf veins. It was fun to make!
Jontu gets quite creative with his lego building, today he wanted to recreate a picture that we took right after we moved here. Silly boy!

Welcome Home Daniel

My brother Daniel just returned from his mission to Taiwan. He speaks Mandarin Chinese now, how cool is that! It was so nice to be able to see him again and spend some time with him. The young jedi's missed seeing him too, but hopefully we will be able to all see him soon. We love you Uncle Daniel.

Congratulations Leonora and Kevin!

I was able to go to Idaho for the wedding this weekend of my sister Leonora to Kevin. It was so nice to be able to be there. I even got to decorate a little wedding cake. It was all so nice!
Just after they were sealed in the temple.
