More lamp projects!

Hunter wanted a new lamp for his newly painted room, so BACK to Target! (Because they were buy 1 get 1 50% off.) I made this one for a friend's daughter who just HAPPENS to have a birthday this week and LOVES horses and cowgirls :)
And Hunter's FINAL product! He was very happy with it! Yea! They are SO fun and easy to make!

Quilt Progress

Haven't gotten very far - but this is where I'm at now. See the BIG "black" patch in the middle? That was a BIG no-no! So, I have NOW ripped that out and "fixed" it. Next....sewing the border! Updates soon! Let's see I have about 8 weeks to finish it. OMG! That's NOT very far away!

The Quilt for my mom!

Shhhhh, this is a secret project. But it's ok - my mom doesn't read my blog!

Anyway-I've only made ONE quilt, but decided I wanted to make one for my mom, and one for each of my 3 boys! Well, I am starting first on mom's, hoping I can have it completed by mother's day.

I went fabric shopping yesterday and just LOVE the colors I found! Went home last night and got it all cut out! I WANTED to start sewing tonight, but, it's Biggest Loser night, so I'm sure between dinner and watching my show I probably won't have time. Tomorrow night is zumba night, so I'm hoping for Thursday night! Geez! I need to NOT be so busy!

Project Lamp!

Well, I've been on the hunt for a Star Wars lamp! Coby LOVES Star Wars. But EVERY one I found (all online) were $59.99 AND UP! So.... I decided to settle this MYSELF! I went to Target and bought this lamp - on sale this week for $14.99, thank you very much!Went to Joann's and bought some Star Wars Fabric, broke out my Modge Podge and WAH LAH!!!

We have a Star Wars lamp!

This project took me MAYBE 30 minutes and made one little boy in my house VERY happy!!!

Birthday Month

I've been a bad bad blogger! (Hm...that's what I said 2 months ago, too!) I am REALLy going to try to be better! REALLY!!!!!

Coby will be 6 next week! 6! I can't believe it - I do NOT like my baby growing up!

He got glasses this past week. Some paperwork came home from school, he failed his vision screening. So I made him an eye dr. appt, and sure enough, he did the same thing there. His right eye is a little far sighted, but his left eye is VERY far sighted! We are hoping glasses for a few months can correct this, hopefully he won't have to wear them forever.

And this is one of the photo's I had taken of him a couple weeks ago. I hope to have the entire CD soon! I AM BACK bloggy world.....and I'm here to stay!!!!

Our Elf On A Shelf- Meet Leo!

Meet Leo! We welcomed him into our home on December 5th, 2011! He is a SILLY little elf.

It looks like he was playing Monster truck with "grandma, who got run over by a reindeer."One night, he got Coby's underwear and hung them on the stocking. Hehe! (Coby was embarrased!)
Leo found Coby's comfy pillow pet and helped himself to get a book to read for the day.

Oops! Leo - i don't think you are suppose to be wrapping presents at OUR house....

Camoflauge- Elf Style....

Halloween 2011

Saturday night Cory and I took Coby to Hallozooween! It was CRAZY! Lot's of people, long lines, etc. But THIS made Coby's WHOLE night......Seeing a "real life size" Darth Vader and ObiWonKanobi! We are SOO into star wars right now it's not even FUNNY!
Our little Darth hiding in the trees...

And Coby and daddy carved a pumpkin this year! Coby is LOVING it - every evening he can't WAIT to light the candle in the pumpkin!

I'm loving the age he is at and hate how fast time flies by......
