My first Flower

I love making these flowers! they are so easy, and fun to make. I made this one for my new church bag. Well, I guess it's Kellen's new church bag, but I carry it around for the next 2 hours after sacrament, so I figured it was ok to make it girly.

The Jane Pattern

This is the Baby Jane pattern. It's not exactly like the one i use, but the end product will be about the same. Or you can try simplicity pattern 2491. I got my pattern from this book. Have fun.

"Kid Flick" Girl's Purse Tutorial

Another great idea.

Kimono Shoe Pattern

I was looking for ideas online last night for another project, when I came across this web page. It gives you the pattern for the Kimono style shoes. I printed mine off this morning and really looking forward to trying it out. But I thought some of you guys would like to try it out as well. She is giving away lots of other patterns also. In order to get the kimono patter you will have to add it to you basket and everything, and do a complete check out, long in, but don't worry they don't ask for your credit card, you just get to the end and you click download. Let me know how it works out for you guys.

Fabric Flower

Fabric Flower Tutorial found here. I want to make this flower, and since I was afraid of not finding the page again I thought I would post it here for me and for you. I will post photos just as soon as I make one. Let me know if any of you guys try it out.

Meet Baby Jane

These are my Janes. I love making them! They are Felt, Cotton, Button & Clasp.

My new found Joy!

I bought a book awhile back that had some really great patterns. Here are just a couple. The first two found a wonderful home with my friend Stephanie.


These other pairs I am still holding on to, trying to find them a good home. I am learning a lot about sewing, and feel pretty confident with most patterns, But I have learned one thing about myself, I'm getting really crafty, but NOT at all creative. So that is my next goal. I need to think out side the box a little bit more. As you can see from all the shoes photoed above, they are well put together, but they lack that personal flair.

Potty Time

I love it! he grabbed the magazine all on his own and started to flip through it. Some day he will hate me for taking this picture, but right now all i can do is laugh.

Birthday Photos

Still no Photos!!!

Well I think I might know what the problem is, why my computer won't upload photos. We recently installed an Internet filter call K9. Does anyone else have that one? Well we installed it about a month and a half ago, but it has been that long since I put any photos on here. The program wont let me put photos on the Internet, and I can't seem to figure out how to get around it. So I might have to take my computer to a Mac Dr. to have them show me how to work it. BYU-I sells the Mac's and K9, so I guess I will have Preston take it back up there, they seem to know what they are talking about. So until then no photos, sorry.

But in other news. Kellen started Pre-School this week. It is 2 days a week for 2 hours, with a class size of 6. He is doing really good!! and loves the time with the other kids. All the kids are either on the spectrum (Autistic etc.) or like Kellen have some form of a Sensory Processing Disorder. This class will go for 6 weeks then Kellen will be moved into a main stream class and take his shadow teacher with him. So in other words he will get one teacher just to himself.

Potty time is going really good. I am still not sure if Kellen's ready for full time potty training, but he might be closer then I think. We still have a really BIG communication barrier, so it's not like he can tell me that he needs to pee. He loves to sit on the potty, and will pee every time I put him on, so about 3-5 times a day. I think he might like it because he gets to be naked. Today he refused to get off the potty because I have a diaper in hand, waiting for him. He really did not want to put that diaper back on. so then he signed bath, more or less just to prolong his nakedness. I'm fine with him taking a bath in the middle of the day, so whatever. But he wouldn't get in, instead he runs to his bedroom. So I grab a pull up for one hand and a diaper in the other. "Kellen, do you want this one, or this one?" "dis on". he chose the pull up, and was more then willing to put it on, and continued to run around the house. So, we are close. It will be a great day to have a diaper free boy. If you guys have helpful tips let me know.
