My new toy!


I bought a sewing machine and have been working with appliques! My sewing skills are still in process(I would give myself a partially proficient) as I tack them down with a zig zag stitch. This blog and google searches have helped me alot. This and this etsy seller have great tutorials. And fabric shopping has been fun here, here, and here!

Baby shower gifts for my friend Allison at school--we are the gators so she got an alligator, an apple, and a cupcake

Our friends who just had another baby girl--they got matching cupcakes!

Kevin's cousin just had a little girl so she is getting a cupcake and an apple...

...and their little boy is getting a preppy tie and a Halloween pumpkin!
