Even Babies can show their Spirit....

Okay...so this week I have been doing a lot of sewing and catching up on baby gifts. (Seems like everyone is having one these days!!)   Anywho...I have a good friend who just had her 4th baby, a boy! He is super cute too! Well, by the time you have your 4th kid, (3rd boy for her) you would think that you have pretty much everything you would need. So as I thought of what to get the little guy, I was walking through our local Hobby Lobby (love that store) and I saw some BYU fabric. Then it hit me..they are totally huge BYU fans. So then I came up with this....

It's got some soft minki, and ribbons to play with!! I quickly drew up the letter "Y" leaving room for seams and everything, then put it with as few other baby things, and tadah! Unique personal baby gift that I am sure she won't get from anyone else.

I have been making these, what I call little "blankie buddies" for quite some time now. They are super simple. Here's how...

Find or draw a simple picture, whether it be a owl, an octopus, or a plane. (Make sure it's slightly bigger than what you want your final size to be.) Cut out the fabric and pin the ribbon to the right side of the fabric, sandwich with minki right side down, then sew inside out leaving just enough room to turn right side out, and stitch again for security!!

Okay, so I am not very good at describing how to do things, but I promise I will get better!

Learning the 411 of Blogging

Wow!! So I thought that blogging was no big deal, I have several friends and family who have blogs, and they down play it..."it's so easy.." "it walks your through everything.."

However I beg to differ. I consider myself pretty tech savy, but I definitely did benefit from my sweet sister-in-law taking 15-20 minutes to show me all the ins and outs of finding backgrounds and figuring the layout and the what not's of blogging.

Anywho....this blog is mainly for me to ramble on, share awesome recipes (I admit I am a pretty good cook), show off my sewing creations, or anything else I decide to pass along. So if you are willing to read, leave comments,or just look at my cute background.....then I am definitely willing to share!!
