Happy New Year and New hobbies

I remember looking at all the crafty stuff my mom did when I was a kid, and never thought I would enjoy those same things. But ever since I became a mom, I feel so domestic and suzie homemaker "ish". I actually asked for a sewing machine for christmas and I have been busy learning how to do it. Here are my first attempts, thanks to Heidi, Katie and my mom for some great tutorials. I can't take all the creative credit. The bird mobile is inspired from Pottery Barn Kids and Anthropologie window displays, and the hostess apron is Heidi's pattern. Reupholstering my glider was a must and matches much better.






We had a wonderful time in Utah for christmas. It was so fun to see all the family.Thanks again to you all for being great hosts and for the many gifts you all piled on us. Kennedee loves her princess dress and "memo"(elmo) and Ryan and I haven't been able to get off ROCK BAND. It's addicting
