I have been looking at this magazine since it came out. I want to make some of the Whee mini skiers that are featured on the cover except I would love to make them not so whee, but actually with some large pinecones I have. Also Betz White has a featured project in it.
I have looked at this PEEPS book so many times and I finally decided to purchase it. I think my Easter decorations will be mostly PEEPS this year.
This Gooseberry Patch book is just a good overall Christmas book. There are several ideas in here that I think will be good gifts to give to my co-workers. It also has some great recipes that I could make and send to Bo's office for the holiday. I leaning towards the Chocolate -Pecan Bars or the Lemon-Orange Rolls, but there are many others that I could choose from.
After the taking in the art Bo and I enjoyed dinner and then cake with our families at his parents house. I had two different cakes. This is my mother-in-laws famous Strawberry Cake. One of my favorites. Isn't it pretty?
This is my Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake that my parents got me. My other favorite type of cake. Who could ask for anything more?
Nephew took to my In-Laws piano. He loves anything to do with music and the piano was no exception. This entertained him the entire time he was there. 
Tomorrow, I hope to start sewing my Halloween Costume that I cut out today before we left. I also need to fix a pair of Nephew pants.
I just wanted to show you my finished jacket. I love it! Even if the other ladies at sewing class made fun of it. I learned several things when making this. 
First, we went to see Dave Ramsey live. Bo and I have already taken Financial Peace University a couple of years ago. This was a refresher course for us.
Second, we stopped at IKEA. Neither Bo nor I knew exactly what to expect when we went there. So many people in the blog world talk about IKEA so I had to go and see what all the fuss was about. All I can say is WOW! After I left there I felt like my sensors were overloaded. 
Next stop The Varsity -" What ya have? What ya have?" When in Atlanta you must eat at the varsity. But having them yell "What ya have?" makes me kind of nervous, but there chili cheese burger and onion rings are Awesome!
Then on the way back my car turned over 100,000 miles. All those miles and so many memorise. Here's to my car going another 1000,000 miles. Bo was so sweet he actually pulled of the interstate on to an exit so that I could get this picture.
Fabric, wonderful fabric. It was folded neatly, washed and ironed.
Then there was this bonus item. 
Messy Karen included the materials and instructions to make Anna Maria Horner's Bookmarks. I was going to make these last night, but I decided to watch Project Runway and Tabitha's Salon Takeover. I don't know if I liked Tabitha's show or not. I may have to watch a few more episodes. I can't thank Karen enough for this wonderful package of fabric!
Okay, this is the deal: My sister-in-law asked me to make my nephew 5 pairs of pants for fall/winter, and I would love to get them done as soon as possible. The only thing is I need to find a pattern that fits him. The ones pictured below were made to see how they fit. These pants are now sitting in an envelope waiting to be mailed to my mother so that she can tell me about the fit, but she won't see Nephew until Sunday. Afterwards, Nephew can were these as pj pants.
Today is her 30th birthday. Here is to many many more years. 
So, my dad loved the coaster that I made for my Sister-In-Law so much that I had to make some for him. I hope he likes these. 
I don't have any sewing planned for tomorrow night, but I do have several things that need cut out.
I made Nephew a Clever Little Cape by Apple Cyder. I asked Nephew if I could take his picture with it on. He shook his head no, but I tried anyway. This is Bo trying to put it on Nephew.
This is Nephew immediately taking it off. He did carry it around with him, but he didn't want to wear it. Who knows he may grow into it. I would recommend this pattern to anyone. It went together really quickly.
I haven't posted this no-sew blanket I made. These are great for gifts. This one is really soft.
Finally, I don't usually post my good deal that I get a CVS, but today's deals were to good not to talk about. All of these items pictured cost me $8.33 out of pocket.
I now need to go help Bo clean the house. Hopefully, I can sew tonight.
I purchased this fleece with plans to make a no sew blanket as a Christmas present which I've finished already. I love these as gifts. The Tinkerbell fabric will be used to make either McCall's 5252 or McCall's 3402 for our Disney trip.
This just other fabric I wanted or fabric that will be used in Halloween Costumes.
Notions I purchased that were 50% off, and I can always use something new. The large yardage of elastic is for Nephew's pants.
This is going to be used to make a cape for Nephew. This weekend we played "capes" with just the yard of fabric. Nineteen months olds have the best belly laughs. I wish I could bottle it and listen to it on days when I need a good pick me up. I hope to have this done when I keep Nephew this weekend. 
Bo's 84 year old great aunt broke her hip today so thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. 
I know that I get my creativity from both of my parents. Just look at what my dad made himself. He has to use a cane on stable ground so no doubt he would need one in the sand. He couldn't find anything that would work so he went to Lowes to find what he needed. He ended up using PVC pipe to make an all weather cane that he could use in the water without worrying about ruining it. 
Nephew enjoys the beach.
Nothing, but clear skies. We set up to stay on the beach all day.
Teaching Nephew how to play paddle ball. He took to this really well. 
Then he wanted to learn how to play shuffleboard.
This is what the water looked like when we left.
