Kinda glad I didn't get rid of my paper crafting products when we moved.

When I lived in St. George, I was an AVID scrapbooker!  I was part of a stamping club and even scrapbooked for work on a monthly basis. When I moved to SLC I took it all with me but moved on to sewing to fill my spare time. I have always kept the stuff on hand if I ever had a hankering.

Now that I am in San Antonio I still sew my guts out, but today I needed to wrap one of those sewing projects for a gift. I did get rid of all of my wrapping paper for the move. I didn't really want to spend money on wrapping paper right now so I took to my paper crafting supplies.

My first complete machine quilted quilt.

I love to hand quilt but I don't have quilting frames. (Sad, I know) I do have a great quilting sewing machine. It came with a walking foot. ($$$) I hadn't really used it so I thought I would give it a try. Machine quilting is not as easy as one might think. The quilt is puckered every now and again on the back but I was going for a Shabby Chic look. What do you think?

Stuff yourself silly day!

Baby's first Thanksgiving. (He had no idea what was going on) We were invited over to Matt and Nicole's for Thanksgiving. Nicole's parents were in town for the holiday. We got up this morning to cook and bake our part for dinner. Then we headed out. We spent much of the pre-meal hours playing Guitar Hero. Then it was on to stuffing our faces! AMAZING! Our meal was fantastic!

Never trust the baby when things become quiet!

I usually relish in peace and quiet with my son but something was too quiet. I was on the computer in the kitchen and little buddy was playing at my feet. He then crawled across the room. He is fascinated with the garbage can. He was still in the same room so I let him play a bit. (He can't get into the garbage, yet) I turned my head that direction a few times but he was behind the table and I couldn't see exactly what he was doing. Then he got quiet. Unusually quiet for him. So I peeled myself away from Pinterest only to find a huge mess. I couldn't even get mad about it, he looked too cute!. I had to grab the camera quick. From here out I'll let the photos talk.....

Wheat flour. Who knew? Kid loves it! (even plain)

That led to this....

Which was followed shortly by this....

Finally...

Now back to our regular scheduled programing!
