baby blanket and taggies

I finished a baby blanket for my son Bryan yesterday. And today, after I shamelessly raided my friend, Sarah's, ribbon collection, I finished two little "taggies" out of the remnants. Apparently "taggies" are big out here in California. I had never heard of them until coming out here. So in the spirit of embracing the California way of life...we now have taggies! They are super fun...easy to make...and perfect for teething...which my little man is in desperate need of something to help those sore gums :) I think he likes the blanket...we'll see if he takes to the taggies...

crazy about felt

here is my first attempt at a holiday banner out of felt...I LOVE felt! So easy to work with and it turned out pretty darn cute...I see many more of these in my future...for every occasion and every holiday! Oh the possiblities!!!

latest completed project

here is the latest completed project...a quilt fit for a little girl. not sure who is going to own this one...either my daughter or maybe a friend. It was made with two charm packs of the same fabric line and a few other pieces from my stash. The charm packs make it super easy! will definitely be making this again with more charm packs. Here is the back...

And of course...a little tutu for my daughter...totally made this up on my own. I would change a few things about it...but it works pretty well for dress up.

long time

So its been a while....

I have been busy. About 4 projects in the works...all needing full attention. Can't wait to share some of them completed in the next week.

Do any of you feel as though you can't get anything done...like you have so many balls in the air that you are about to drop them all...?

newest completed project

Here is the latest project I have completed. A little table runner for my entry way. The pattern came from Anka's Treasures...their Little Charmers II pattern. It went together really easily. It used a charm pack and then fabric for the back and binding. Would definitely make another one and reuse the block pattern for a quilt.

Also finished this little number for a friend who just gave birth to a sweet baby girl. Used Simpliciy It's so Easy patter number 2913. Turned out so stinkin' cute! Makes me want another girl. :)

Here is the family picture from our family reunion this past week in New Mexico. Quite the handsome bunch if you ask me!
