Some Summer (time) Projects

So my wonderful and amazing sister in law that we live basically down the street from had the greatest suggestion of getting together once a week with our other nearby (and equally as amazing!) sister in law and doing crafts/sewing projects during the summer. We have had such a good time and it has gotten me on a major sewing kick. I just can't seem to stop. Last week, Jenny and I sewed all afternoon, went to Young Women's then came back and sewed till 1:30am. Love it. We don't really know how to sew, (at least we don't know how to use a pattern) but we have just been teaching ourselves and using tutorials on-line. They are so great. Exactly what I need-step by step directions and pictures. I thought I would show off some of the things that I have made with the girls and on my own.

Here are my beautiful sister in laws on our first craft day!

These bags were probably one of my favorite projects. Not too hard and SO CUTE!


My mom taught me to make these aprons when I went home this summer. Not a great picture but they are seriously so cute.

This bag was our hardest project so far-this was the 1:30 in the morning project. Pretty intense but I was really happy with how it turned out.

I love Wood Connection in Utah. Miss it! I got the stuff for this clock when I was home this summer.

Napkins for my dining room. Now I just need to do placemats.


A little tag blanket for my new nephew in Texas, Grant.

I still have a bunch of things I am working on and a bunch of things I want to do. Plus, once I find out what this baby is I am going to have to go crazy making baby stuff. Love the sewing bug!

Impressive! You guys are cute. So fun to have someone fun to do projects with! :) Love your stuff, it's all way cute! I thought of you the other day at Gardner Village when they had aprons kinda like those ones for like $36. You could go into business! :) Or just make one for me and I'll send you a check! Ha, ha. Hope you are all doing great and you're feeling good. And, btw...Davis looks cute with his hair buzzed! :) You are too funny.

Grant loves his tag blanket, it's amazing how long one thing can keep him intrigued - thanks aunt Summer.

She gave me the apron and I love to prance around in the kitchen (and house) in it.

Summer you are so crafty. You never cease to impress me.
