Baby Blanket Finally Complete!!

YAY!!! I finally finished a project this year!! I think I took so long because I was afraid to do the binding... I gave this quilt to my cousin Andre and his girlfriend and mommy to be, Vanessa, for their daughter who should be making her special appearance in July. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. And the binding wasn't too bad either. I think I like it more than just sewing the pieces inside out. I think it looks nicer... ??? So I will be trying to complete one for my friend Wendy and another for my cousin Vivian, who will both be having boys in August. I am going to get my list together and start marking off people as I give them quilts. I need to practice on crocheting more too... hopefully one day I'll become less of a novice and more of an expert... and I mean for everything I try my hand at!!

Oh and we will be making our trip out to Oklahoma in about a month to visit my grandparents and my other relatives. The boys love it out there... especially going to the lake almost everyday. So I need to start sewing before I get wrapped up in our trip. Time sure is Flying By!!!!

Caught Red Handed... =b

Last night this boy just would not go to sleep! I would put him in bed and he would just crawl over me and run back to his brothers' room. He tore up their room and finally tired himself out enough to come to bed. When I first woke up I thought he had a bloody nose during the night because of the dark splotches on his shirt. Then I took a closer look. He had gotten into his brothers markers and marked his shirt, his hands and his face. Look at him... He looks so proud of this accomplishment. He's even got a big grin and is cheesin' it up for the camera. I love my little brat so much, and yeah the other brats too! We'll find out if those were washable markers! lol...

Man, I really need to start sewing again... maybe I'll start tomorrow... for a little while anyway... before I go work at Casa... Oh, and I wanna plan a trip to one of the casinos in San Diego... you know, the ones where you can take the bus up there for FREE... maybe one of these days...
