last week's sewing projects

last week my sister was up visiting from san diego. she and my mom had a couple sewing projects for me to do while we were hanging out.

...

the first was my mom had an oversized shirt that she wanted re-fit so it was more flattering on her. she is going up to girl's camp this week ... and her camp name is wheaties!

...

here is the before.

here is the after ... looks much better, doesn't it? i'm glad you like it mom!!

the second project was for nicole ... she saw this awesome baby wrap (thanks whitney for letting us look at it, and for showing us how to wrap it SOOO many times!!) and wanted me to create her one. the first prototype was awful ... the second prototype was much better, but was a little snug for her (but fit me better, so #2 will have a new wrap to keep her all cozy in!)

here i am with caleb all snuggled up!

the second one came together pretty easily ... and i'm fairly certain that i'll be sewing up some more and putting them up in my shop. caleb LOVED it and slept happily all bundled up on my chest for an hour and a half. i finally had to take him out because aidan was getting jealous and needed some attention from his momma!

tagged -- memory lane

i've been tagged twice on this one ... so here i go ...

...

Let's take a trip down Memory Lane ... Do you remember when?

...

Here are the rules:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember(it can involve the family or even my husband too)! You do not have to have even met me in person.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll be sure to write one about you.

3. If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all!

4. Consider this a Tag: if you've read it, you have to do it!

fresh tomatoes?

what would you do if you were given a bag of fresh homegrown cherry and pear tomatoes??

...

i know what i would do

...

slice 'em up and sprinkle on some salt and pepper and DEVOUR them. halfway through the bowl remember to take the picture. then finish it off. i even was gracious enough to share a bite or two with robby. it was DELICIOUS ... probably would have been better if i had an olive oil to drizzle a little. but were just perfect without anything but some salt and pepper.

you got jacked...

this is nic - hemi didn't sign out! hahahaha! i pirated your blog!

so glad to be up here hanging out with you! love ya!
