It's Almost "Boo Time"

I'm getting so excited about the "Boo Time Party" this week.  I've been busy getting every thing ready for all the little goblins to be here.  I will hopefully have some great pictures to share after all of the fun I have planned.

Sew Fun

I have had so much fun this week with several little sewing projects.

Zach wanted a new "Z" shirt.  He requested a cheetah print.  This was as close as I could get without it looking too girlie.

One of the two halloween appliqued shirts for Cade and Reid.

My first attempt at making shoes for Aubrey.

And finally, Tiffany and I made these cute headbands today.

Can't wait to make some cute things next week.  Thank you pinterest for all the ideas!

A Sweet Little Ghost

I finally got a tutorial for my new embroidery machine.  This is my first project.  Of course I saw it on Pinterest.  I searched the internet for the cute ghost applique and found it!  I can't wait to see my sweet Katie and Aubrey in these.

A Little Crafting Weekend

Our 5th daughter, Taleigh, came in town this weekend!  We did a little crafting while she was here.  We have all become big fans of Pinterest and most of the things we cook, bake, decorate or craft lately seems to be an inspiration from someone"s "board".  Here are a few pictures of the things we did this weekend.  

Taleigh's new sister-in-laws have 3 sweet little girls and requested some cute halloween pants for them.  I'm not the greatest seamstress, but I thought they turned out pretty cute.  I just hope they fit :)

I wanted a new wreath for the newly painted back gate.  I love the big roll of burlap we found at Michael's.  It makes a perfect bow.

Lastly, Taleigh made these cute Christmas ornaments she had seen on Pinterest.  

Styrofoam balls wrapped with muslin, linen and burlap strips.  A loop of jute pinned on with pearl head pins.  They are much cuter in person.

It was a good weekend, just not long enough.  I'm so excited about this week.  I am getting a tutorial on how to monogram and applique on my new sewing machine.  More to come!
