Here is how I spent my birthday

Okay, as promised here are the items I sewed the weekend of my birthday. The first one is a rag quilt. It is made of 6 different cotton materials and flannel. I picked 3 and my husband picked 3. Can you guess who picked what?














The next is a hooded towel, my friend Jami showed me how to make these and boy was it easy. My niece loved it so I am going to make her one.














Next are burp towels. I saw these at a store in Omaha and knew I could so that. The 3 different kinds of material I used were the ones my huband picked. I had extra so I thought I would put it to good use.














The final two items are boppy lounger covers. This is what stemed all of this sewing. Our friends in Florida, Loryn and Jason, check out their blog, listed under friend Pace's. Asked if I could make a couple lounger covers for them. So this is how they turned out. Thanks for stopping by.

















A bouns card for everyone too. My friend Jennie had a baby boy on 9/3 and this is the card I sent to her and her family. Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I have made!!!

I have finally made something!!!

Okay I know it has been a while since I have posted something. Not as long as some other blogger, but I won't name names, Jami, Pam and Jill!!! But I have been super crafty this past weekend. Which is a perfect way to celebrate my birthday! I spent all of Sunday sewing, which after I get the items sent in the mail and know they are received I will post pictures of my creations. I don't know if the person receiving the items knows I have blog or not so just in case I thought I would wait until I know they have them so it will be a surprise.


Okay so the two cards I am post today.......They baby card goes to a friend from high school who just welcomed her second child, a little girl. So I thought I would get a card out congratulating her and her family for their new addition.


The second one is for my nephew to send to Speaker of the House, Mike Flood. My parents take my nephew on a yearly vacation and this year is was to Mahoney State Park. They had fun things planned for every day they were there, one day was a trip into Lincoln to see the Capitol, which really fascinated my nephew, he really likes history. Any way he got a full tour with a special look into Speaker of the House Mike's office, he also got a special tour of Memorial Stadium and practice field. He was in heaven.


Thanks for stopping by and check out the sewing fun I had next time.
