Pinterest

I'm not sure if you are familiar with Pinterest or not, but it seems to be filling up my time lately. I can't seem to stop pinning sewing and cooking ideas to my "boards." In the last few weeks we have had two dinners from Pinterest and I've made several projects from my "boards" as well. Both items are for friends or my sister-in-law who are expecting children. Here's the first

Burp Cloths


Here's the link to the tutorial I followed. It Rocked!

Here's how mine turned out.



One "fancy" and one "casual." I went with the more casual since I didn't know at the time that that my brother and sis-in-law are having a girl.

Project #2

A Nursing Cover



Here's the link for this tutorial. Great as well.

And the one Mom and I made:




There are many more projects in waiting. I can't wait to get started. Mama came over to help me on the first major project, the nursing cover. I had lots of questions and she was a HUGE help. Ive done very little sewing before now and she had lots of great tips and tricks.

Since the nursing cover went well I made a second one on my own and shoes for Tally.

Christmas 2011

We were expecting Charley Kate to arrive after Christmas but The Lord had other plans as we see. We were all thrilled to have her with us early. Sunny, Tom and Charley Kate came home from the hospital on the 23rd.



Coming home from the hospital.

Christmas was so much fun this year with Tally and Lincy. Tally slept and Lincy was learning all about Christmas.



Charley Kate with Hoot N Nanny


Hoot is spoiling her already!!

Isn't this the cutest little Tiger??


Lincy loved everything Santa left her and wanted to help Big Mama get her ride ready.





Tally in her Christmas gown. I think she had 7 or 8 to wear in two days.


Tally and Uncle D....still sleeping.


I just have to show you this one shot from Charley Kate's newborn photo session.




Isn't that cutest thing ever?!?!?

Casey Kelly is the photographer that made these pictures. She's from Enterprise.

Welcome to the World,Charley Kate

I'm a little behind announcing the birth of my niece Charley Kate AKA Tally.



She was born on Wednesday, December 21 at 4:21 in the afternoon. She weighed 7lbs and 4 oz and was 20 inches long. She's is perfectly healthy (Praise the Lord) and her Mom is doing great.

Our First Anniversary

October 9th was our First Anniversary. We spent the week before visiting Mickey Mouse and friends at Disney World. This wasn't either of our first trips to Disney, but we sure were excited about the trip. We only stopped a few time for pictures but I will share them.

When we arrived in our room this greeted us, then Mickey Mouse called to welcome us to Disney.

 Our first day was spent at the Animal Kingdom. We went straight to the safari when we arrived. The animals were all out and moving around early.

Our favorite part of Animal Kingdom was the bird show. All I can say is WOW!!!

Look at this beautiful eagle.

A BUGS LIFE!!!

Mickey's Jungle Parade

I was absolutely IN LOVE with all the decorations at The Magic Kingdom. Everything was all decorated for fall and Halloween. I'm pretty sure I spent the first 5 minutes in the park taking pictures of decorations. 

When we arrived.

Notice the crane in the background :-( they are doing repairs to the castle and building a completely castle for the new section of the park.)

Our first stop was at the Hall of Presidents. I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to take pictures...oops!

Here we are on the Orbiter ride.

More decorations...HA!

Waiting for the Light Parade

While we waited for the parade Cinderella's Castle was changing colors.  

One afternoon we went to Downtown Disney to look around. As you can see, Daniel had a blast. 

Hey Deer

Check out our house guest!

Last week Daniel brought this precious angel home from work.




OF COURSE he had already been named Bambi but that wasn't going to fly at our house so he became Notbambi...creative huh?!?!

It was love at first sight!

He did pretty good on the leash, following Daniel around the yard.

Notbambi stayed with us for one night. Then, he went to live at a rehabilitation center that will introduce him to other deer.

Notbambi was an angel and so sweet but he is a wild animal. For a week he had been living with humans and has become very accustom to people. This is fun for now, but when Notbambi is a grown deer he could be dangerous thus, the reason deer aren't good pets...so says my Game Warden Husband that wouldn't let me keep Notbambi.

Sew...Lately this is what's been going on.

I have this new Sewing/Embroidery machine sitting here daring me to try my hand at sewing again. I took a sewing class in High School, but that feels like ages ago. And with my introduction to Pinterst the temptation has been killing me. I found several things online that looked easy enough so I went for it. Here's what happened:










The burp cloths were first. They turned out well enough I guess. I was please with my ability to sew around a square. Then I decided to move ahead a little and tackle a bigger project from Pinterest, a nursing cover for my expecting Sister-in-law. For this project, I called in the big dogs...Mom! She was a huge help even though she says she didn't do anything. She helped measure and cut and hold off the dogs that were dying to be in the middle of the action. Here's the finished project.






If your my friend on Facebook you have probably already seen this with all my begging (harassing)for votes in the "Great Pinterest Challenge...we won by the way.

I gave this to Sunny at the "Big Reveal" party in Troy.

About this party:
Tom and Sunny went for their 20 week ultrasound on August 15th. The nurse was able to determine the babies gender however she didn't tell Tom and Sunny. The nurse told only their friend Sarah who went home and made a cake in either Blue or Pink for the party. Later that night our families got together for the reveal. Here are the pictures. As you can see Tom got way to anxious during the cake cutting ceremony and stuck his finger in the cake.

It's a GIRL!!!!
Maybe the PINK "S" should have clued us in...

Hoot and Nanny are so excited!!!
