Projects

Despite how busy I am with school, I've absolutely needed some "me" time on the weekends to unwind. That has motivated me to go ahead and do some projects for fun:

• Gwen's toddler bed blanket, not pictured.
• A baby blanket for my newest niece, not yet arrived, but I figured I had better do it before OUR baby comes or our niece might not get it til Christmas! Anyway, a rag quilt that turned out super cute, much easier after having done Gwen's, and well within budget!

found a deal online for a free photo book (only paid shipping on a regularly 40 dollar book!) and had a blast going through summer 2010 photos and designing the book. It has already arrived and Gwen loves it! (probably not as much as I do, though!)

A coupon organizer, sewn with fabric I already had and labeled with paper I already had...so completely free (unlike the cute ones available on Etsy) and WAY cuter than a cheapo plastic one that wouldn't have enough labels/divisions anyway! Now I can coupon in style AND be more efficient at the grocery store!

• And lastly, making a magnetic church book/kit for Gwen for Easter. Since it isn't finished, I won't show pics yet. But it has actually been quite relaxing to sit and color every weekend while we watch a movie or something.

And those are the fun things I've been working on!
