Sewing Time

Last month when my mom was in town she bought me a sewing machine as a baby present... and we made this cute blanket together for baby boy. Thanks mom! She of course did all the toughest parts, but it was still a lot of fun to make.

I am really excited to start learning how to do more projects, when I'm done working. I only ever learned how to do a few simple things when I was younger, so I'm hoping I can bring out some domestic abilities and become better at sewing.


I have also been loving this great book my friend got me for my birthday; very inspiring to see simple (and some tougher) yet beautiful sewing projects.

I had great hopes of getting all of my sewing projects done once Brigham came, but alas, I underestimated how much time he would take. I am hoping soon I will again have some time...:) and really I would much rather cuddle with him while he is still little, so that attitude doesn't help!

Sewing is so much fun, but hard work! I want to be better too. Maybe Dustin and I should move back to Utah and we can spend all day sewing? Sounds SO tempting :)

I keep telling you this, but you should be selling your excel sheets to all your friends. I know I'll be coming around for the baby one in a few years!! You are looking so great BTW. And great job sticking to the diet!!
