Happy Belated Birthday to me!

I never posted about my Birthday because I have been having too much fun with my presents form Nate and Mom! I'll talk more about that later :) So for my 23rd B-day Nate Let me spend several hours doing stuff I never get to do like straightening my hair and giving myself a pedicure and getting all gussied up! He took me out and we had a very good time! Here is a pic we took when we got home.



Here I am opening my presents. Yes, Nate did wrap my present in the quilt mom made us! It was the prettiest thing he could find!

So what did I get? And What I have I done with it? So glad you asked...
I got a Sewing Machine from Nate and every little accessory you can think of from Mom and Dad, the cutest of which is this adorable pin cushion that Mom made! I should of taken a picture without the little yellow pins, it's much cuter without them. The next picture is the curtains I made for the boys room. The next picture is the cradle bedding I made before I had the sewing machine and I did it all by hand. I never finished the bag I wanted to make to hang over the side so I finished it! Now when the baby wakes up at night I will have everything I need right there and It looks cute! The last one is a search and find bean bag and I plan on making more for friends who are having babies. I really love sewing! My next project is going to be slip covers for these chairs! Wish me luck! And if you have any tips before I start feel free to comment.

Hey Sam! I'm not one for giving tips on sewing, but I'm so glad things are going well and you are enjoying this new hobby! Summer school ends next week and I plan on calling you to catch up more. Love ya lots!

All my kids love the search and find bag you made for Aaron. And I wish I had a new sewing machine. Mine is an old piece of junk (I don't think it even has a brand name on it anywhere), so I don't sew much because I'm worried about things falling apart after I spend all my time making them. =(
