A REAL QUILT

Yay, Here is my first REAL quilt! I made this quilt while pregnant with Griffin for his nursery. I went with the plaid/ tractor theme because I thought this would be cute for a nursery, but boyish enough for him to still use for his toddler bed (which I now know how fast it will be here.)

 

It was a 3 week class for 3 hours on Sundays (a little time for myself that I took advantage of before  baby #2 was born. :)) I am so thankful I took the class. I learned so many tips and tricks that has really improved my overall sewing. The binding is difficult to do because you are supposed to hand-sew the whole back side, so I'm not to sure how often I will do a quilt like this again, but I do love the results. xo

 

Time is flying by.

Stuffed Butterfly and Matching Blanket

Wow, I can't believe my last post was about 8 months ago! My goal was to get this back going within six months after Griffin was born, and he will be 7 months in 5 days, so I'm sort of on track. :)

The past 8 months have been so busy for me. We bought a house, sold our house, had a baby boy, had a birthday party for my daughter who turned two, the holidays came and went, I trained for a half-marathon which I'm running this Sunday, and everything else that went into surviving the past 6 months with 2 children that are 23 months apart, but I've made it.. and I'd love to start blogging again.

Even though the blogging has been on hold, the crafting has certainly not stopped! I've made several new blankets, have even branched out into sewing some fun purses, and thrown together a few home decorating projects.

Also, aside from cleaning the house non-stop for the past 6 months while we were trying to sell our home.  I started doing simple lesson plans for Giselle and would love to start sharing what we are working on, on here too.  But, we will see how that goes, as we are moving in a month and will be living in a few different places this summer until our house is ready for us to move into sometime this July or August.


Alright, I'd better run, but I am so happy to be posting again, and hopefully I will have a sewing post up soon.
