Jellyroll Aprons and Bags

More Jellyroll aprons using Hello Betty by Chloe's Closet. This is such a fun apron pattern. Here are also some Jellyroll bags I've made using Soiree fabric by Lila Tueller, love the colors.

Halloween Fun

Logan's kindergarten class had a field trip to the pumpkin patch and I went along with him. He loves this time of year because his birthday is on Halloween.

Logan is now 6 years old. He's growing up so fast. He was a cute chubby baby with his tongue always sticking out. I'm glad his tongue stays in his mouth now. He's a fun kid to have around.

Logan was a Mad Scientist, Tanner a Vampire, Preston also a Vampire, and Spencer was Indiana Jones. Spencer almost went without a costume. We had bought him a hat and he couldn't find it so he borrowed Grandpa's hat.

Mr. Clean and Hippie Girl. I forced Jason to wear a gold earring, he didn't want to at first, but it really completed the outfit. He made a great Mr. Clean.

Now the fun part...eating the candy.

Christmas Stockings and Hats

My poor blog has been neglected. I've been busy making things for the Bazaar coming in November. I should be posting more of what I've been making. Here are a couple things.

Christmas stocking ornaments. I love the Funky Christmas polkadot fabric.

Santa hats. I made some of these last year and they did well, I'm just changing them a little this year using different fabrics and making them in different sizes. Back to work now!

Halloween Bazaar 2008

Here are some pictures from the Barn Bazaar last year. I won't be participating in this bazaar this year I didn't quite finish my items in time, it's coming this weekend, plus I'm focusing more on Christmas this year. Here are a few things I did last year.

Black witch hats.

Witch hat with orange polka-dots.

Bats.......Watch Out!!!!

The Cutest Apron Ever

I made two of these adorable ruffled aprons. I used this pattern. It is pretty simple, but so cute. With one jellyroll you can make two aprons and still have some leftovers. Sorry the picture isn't real crisp, I had my son take a picture of me wearing it.

I'm making Christmas crafts already. Bazaars are coming soon! Here is my favorite Christmas fabric by Michael Miller called Funky Christmas. I'm making ornaments I will share later when I have them all finished.

First Day of School

The older three boys started school this week, a bit late I think. Tanner is in 3rd grade, Spencer's in 4th and Logan in Kindergarden. Logan has school 2 1/2 days a week. I drove them to school the first day, but Logan couldn't wait until he could ride the bus for the first time.

Second day (1/2 day in the afternoon)...waiting...

Finally here!!!

Now Preston is home alone. Don't feel sorry for him he entertains himself very well. His imagination keeps him busy.

Boy's Ties

I made a custom tie today for my boys'. Through trial and error, I think I got it and I think it turned out pretty good. Next I will need to work on making a smaller size one. I bought more fabric to work with. Bazaar season is coming up and I thought this would be a great item to make and sell. What do you think?
