Happy 10 months






Today we celebrated Braydens 10 month birthday by a trip to Sea World to visit elmo. Here he is at breakfast this morning eating Peanut Butter and toast. A no-no until 1 year I hear, but he loved it. And actually he has had it a couple of times before.













Sewing machine update! I finally bought one! It does lots of fancy stitches and tricks. I finished my Hawaiian patchwork quilt. No photo yet since I am very unhappy with my binding. Definitely not the heirloom quality I learned in my class. It was a quick,I am over this quilt finish. I quickly grew tired of the thing after I attached the back and realized the thing weighs was too much. Not quite the quilt you want to snuggle on the couch with. It is more like the quilt you display on the bed and don't use. Think x-ray blanket heavy. Maybe a photo show up soon. I want to make a couple of matching pillows. Not like it will hide the ugly binding but maybe make me more motivated to display it. I also rushed to finish it quickly since I told myself I cannot start any Halloween projects until I finish the quilt. I did made a cute little Halloween treat bag last night. I know what you are thinking- Brayden can't even walk yet so why are you waisting time sewing making him a treat bag? Answer: I liked the ghost ones at PB kids so I decided to try and make something similar. I kinda like it. Maybe we can teach him to use it to crawl around an pick up toys.

I like the treat bag...good work! How was Sea World...I can't wait to go for some Halloween spooktacular fun! I do want to see your quilt...I always think I should try to make a quilt, but I haven't gotten that far yet...and currently my sewing table is buried in junk, and I really need to work on scrapbooking...I need to finish 2 years + before christmas! Yikes...xoxo -ag
