Annnnnd a few things I'm making...

And want to make. =) 

The quilt is started.  Spend my Saturday afternoon with Grandma Holsopple sewing up the top of the quilt.  Now for the ruffle, backing and yo-yo's to be assembled and sewed on. =)


Now I'm itching to get Joya's room switched over to a big girl bed so that she can use this fun quilt!  But then she partied last night for 2 1/2 hours in the middle of the night and it make me scared, very scared to move her to a big girl bed. =/  

Can't wait to show you the final results of the quilt!

And I hit the JACKPOT with a bunch of cool blogs that explain how to make everything handmade.  Here's what's now on my list of things to make:

This adorable recycled dress for the girls:

Ok.. I'm done.  I think I could spend HOURS on those sites just making a list of things I need to create!

BTW love these links...ever since I found out I was having a girl again, I decided to start expanding my bows, flowers collection. I found this website that has a bunch of tutorials from other blogs...love it!! http://fabricbowsandmore.blogspot.com/
Maybe you've already seen it...it has a link to those felt flowers that you had on there too. I tried one of those and put another color felt in the middle...pretty cute. =)
