My Baby Girl

Thirty years ago today this tiny little baby girl changed my life forever.  She surprised me on the last day of school.  She was born a couple hours after labor began...three weeks before I was expecting her.  I have loved her everyday even before I saw her.  She has been my first born, my wonderful daughter and my best friend.  I cannot imagine my life without her.  Seeing the wonderful wife and mother that she has become is such a blessing to me. I love you my little sweetheart and I miss sharing this important day with you.
Happy 30th Birthday, Jaime Elizabeth!

Look at these two cute fabrics.

What could I make?

T- shirt Makeover

I started with a t-shirt and cut the neck band off.

Then I faced the neckline using bias tape. 

I made tucks on the sleeves.

I added a ribbon tie.

I added elastic to the neckband. 

Now Olivia has a girlie tunic made from a souvenir t-shirt.

Gray is the New Handsome

I love this man...just one look at this picture and you'll know one reason why.  He is so handsome!

Double Burrito Anyone?

Americans spend millions of dollars on toys every year and all kids really need is a rug and a Papaw willingly to roll them up in it!  They want to do this almost every time they come over.

Simple pleasures in life :)
