I finished the top of my Quilt

I finished. I am freakin excited. I only had to unpick twice and one didn't really count :) Now I have to figure out how to do the back and make it look normal because the lady at the store told me I needed 4 and 1/2 yards and it turns out I needed 5 and 1/4 of a yard, so now I will have a extra strip that is tiny on the back. I am not jacked about it, but oh well I guess, a boy is getting and he won't notice. Now I have to go back to the store and hope they have 3/4 a yard of that same material or I am going to be ticked. Okay thats all. I just had to let you all know because I am pretty dang proud of myself for doing this by myself, I never have you know. I have always had Mom there (don't worried, I called her lots of times :) . Alright, peace.

My house

If you start at the bottom, that is the first picture of when you come in the door. This is standing under the archway, looking back at the front door. The room you can see is our office/craft room. Sorry this is such a big post. I tried to do a video but it wouldn't ever download it and it kept freezing so I decided to just do pictures instead.
Our bedroom. It is under that archway too, but on the right side. The door you can see is to the bathroom and the closet is next to that. Yes that is Zach half naked on the left side. He just got out of the shower. He has pants on, you just can't tell cuz they are hanging off of his bum. Acroos from our room is the laundry room but i didn't take a picture of it. It is just a walkway more like with a washer and dryer.
This is my bedroom, but mostly I was just showin Case how I have nothin on my walls in here.
This is our TV room. It us under the archway, if you keep walking then this is what you will go into.
This is standing under the archway you could see in the second picture looking at that wall. I mostly put this on so you can see my cute shelf thing up there. I don't have all the stuff put up there how i want. We just had to stick it up there for now so Saylor wouldn't get into it. Too bad after my Christmas stuff is down, I have nothing to go up there at all. Its the craps. The archway you can see on the left goes in the a small hallway. On the right side is a bedroom and then the bathroom (which is the bright light you can see) then at the end of the hall is Saylor's room. I decided not to put pictures of it all or this would be one huge post.
My table I refinished. It had white legs and a light oak color finish. To bad we don't have any chairs to go with it, just folding ones. These stars aren't cute, I realize that, but I have nothing else to go there.
My kitchen.
This is when you walk in and look straight forward. You can see part of our backyard through the door. Its the goods to have one, but we don't have anything in it, so we don't really ever go back there. Next summer hopefully we will.

This is now just going around the room, but still looking from the front door, if that makes sense. The door closed is our bedroom and the other one is the TV room.

When you first walk in my door and look to your left, this is what you see.

The quilt

The pajama pants. Hopefully I made them long enough. I'm kinda worried about Marshall's. I decided to put them on here cuz I can't post them on mine or Zach's sister will see them. I am pretty dang proud of myself even if they are supposed to be easy. Nothing is easy for me when it comes to sewing :) (I don't really know why I even do it)

So this is the quilt I am making for Zach's brother. It was last years Christmas present, but then Saylor came along and my life ended (along with Mom's) and I never got to it. So I am going to finish it this year and I am not sure why because I don't really know what I am doing. I have already called Mom like 3 times asking her about it and I haven't even started sewing yet. (why do we do projects on our own again?) So this is for Mom so she can see what I am talking about when I am asking her a billion questions. You would think it wouldn't be that hard since it is just squares, but I was told the wrong sizes by the peops at the stores (2 different stores) so now I am trying to figure it out to make it work for his bed still. Fun times for me, who's jealous? I have already sewed 4 pairs of pajama pants on my own so I am thinking I am doing pretty dang good. Case, there are more pictures to come. I had Zach cancel the post, but I guess it uploaded that one any ways, so I will post the rest of them today.

What a cutie she is

Cards

So I made some cards for Alissa, for Lauri's birthday. Here they are, some of them turned out real cute. I put this one to show the cute little thing I did on the inside.
This is a gift card holder. Pretty cute idea I stole from a scrapbooking store here.

I love these ones, or the idea of them. I think they are so stinkin cute. Not these ones in particular but the idea of them. These ones are cute, but I am sure they could be made cuter.
All of the Christmas ones I did. I didn't send the top right one cuz I really messed up on the stamping part, plus on the tree I tried this bead stuff and it didn't work out that great.n It turns out that I can't really make up cards at all on my own, I have to have something to copy. On some of these I didn't really have anything, and wow it took me forever. I told Zach that I have to have a card making book for Christmas this year so I can copy everything.

The other ones I did. The top right one of this one is going to say Thanks so Much, but I don't have cute handwriting, so I left it blank and told Alissa she has to write it in when she gets them cuz she has real cute handwriting. So I don't love these ones as much, but I still think they are pretty cute. I love the birthday one with the polka dots. Any ways, here they are, not that most of you care, but on well, you get to see them anyways :)

Raking Leaves

I know mom and dad talk a lot about raking the leaves, so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon and talk about our leaf raking times. And I thought I would post some pics since no one has for about a billion years. We have raked our yard a few times, and the piles of leaves are huge each time. I mostly wanted to show you peeps my favorite picture of Caleb doing Superman into the huge pile. If you want to see a video of him trying to hurdle the pile, you can go to my blog.
Sorry to you peeps that check my blog and this is a re-run.
