Adorable Baby boots

We are home from our small town fun. Before we left we made these adorable quilted baby boots. They where pretty easy and of course fun to make. I got this Curby's Closet pattern from Quilters Crossing.

We had problems finding Western fabrics but finally came across this little buckaroo flannel fabric at Hancocks. I did the pointy toe option but you could also do a round toe. I'm going to try to find blue jean fabric and bandana fabric and maybe try the round toe. I liked this pattern so much that I'm probably going to get the little girl Mary Jane pattern also.



When downloading the pictures off my camera I thought these ones where cute. The first one is Abby's mother Roo looking down on her babies and grandbaby "in jail." They where in the backyard playing while we where trimming nails so only three of them have made it into jail. These three jailbirds are Condi (Abby's sister), Abby, and Stitch (Abby's nephew).

The second one is Abby enjoying her couch sleeping time. She is not allowed on the couch at home so she spends as much time on it as she can when she goes for a visit to see her family.

And after a long day of running the field and playing with her family she was wore out!

Merry Christmas to me....

I wish I could say I got a sewing room for Christmas, but I didn't. We own a two bedroom condo and so we have to maximize space whenever possible. So instead for Christmas I asked for a sewing machine cabinet that I could use as a piece of furniture, storage for my sewing machine and as a sewing desk. So here is the Arrow sewing machine cabinet that my wonderful in-laws got me for Christmas:

I haven't had a chance to decorate with it yet but I'm thinking of adding a lamp to it. It'll be stylish when it's closed and useful while I'm sewing.


My very handy father-in-law spent many hours, headaches, and curse words putting it together but in the end it turned out exactly how I imagined. I love it, Thank you so much Kevin and Linda!
