Just a Unique Outfit

Yesterday I felt like sewing, (actually, I felt like doing a craft, and then decided to sew). So I looked through all of my sewing patterns, and stumbled upon the pattern for this unique, and adorable outfit. I decided I just had to make it, even though it would be time consuming (I had to redo one of the tiers three times!?!). After I finished it I went downstairs and, unburied my doll (who just happened to be under a huge pile of stuff), and try it on her. It was totally worth the time!!

I entitled this post, '10/2/12-10/12/12' because I've decided this is going to be a miscellaneous post about everything that's been going on lately. <3 Thursday the 4th, Dad bought a 1998 Ford Taurus for him and my brothers to fix up.  On Friday the 5th I finished my quilt!!! Yay! Now I just have to find someone to quilt it for me. Hmm, that will be interesting. :) Saturday I went thrift store shopping with my friend Holly it was a blast!! We went to about 9 thrift stores and then to Panera for lunch!! Thanks for such a great time Holly!!! This past Thursday my brother Josiah's RC (remote controlled) helicopter arrived in the mail, it has been the most popular item/toy of the day this week. Then this past Monday thru Friday (today, actually) :) we've gotten our counter tops all cut and ready to be fixed in place. Our front entryway tile has all been torn out, and ready to be replaced. Finally, our backsplash surface has been totally prepared, and is waiting to be replaced. I can't wait our kitchen is almost completed!!!! :D Soon we'll have the sink!! *sigh*

I was going through my pictures on my camera, and found some cute ones of my cat when he was a kitten. I just had to share them.

Providence's Ouilt

Sorry I haven't posted. ;) My laptop wasn't functioning very well. Yesterday I finally finished a project I had been working on for quite a while, a quilt for my little sister. She was thrilled to finally be able to use it!! I know I've been making alot of things for her, but it's so amazing to see her face when I show her what I made! <3 For the quilt, I just used a simple strip pattern where you cut strips of fabric, and sew them together in a crazy made up pattern, and for the back a cute lady bug flannel. Instead of quilting it I decided to tie it (using the Homestead Blessings: The Art of Sewing DVD as a guide) much simpler!!

Decoupage Notebook

Yesterday I received some notebooks in the mail, and my little sister decided she wanted her own notebook. :) So after doing a quick check of the supplies on hand It was decided to make her, her own.

Here's a tutorial of how to make them:  http://kindthoughts23.blogspot.com/2012/05/dsp-project-2-decoupage-notebook.html

Wall Cabinets!!

All of our wall cabinets are finally up!!!

Fabric for a New Quilt

Our local fabric store had a sale on fat quarters, and I decided to buy some for my next quilt! I'll probably be using the same pattern as my other quilt, because it is very easy and simple.





An Update on my Quilt

I've actually finished three rows of my quilt already, just two more left!!

An Afternoon at the River

Yesterday afternoon my dad came home early from work, and told my little sister that we were going to the river! After packing all the towels, snacks, swimwear etc., we headed out the door. The water was nice and warm, and we actually caught some little minnows using a net. :) After cooking and eating dinner we packed up and departed for home.
