"Bee" is for Boy

I love creative people and try to surround myself with lots of them :-)  One of my cousins requested some assistance with a baby shower for a good friend.  Honestly, I am swamped between preparing for a job with a new company, balancing my daughter's hectic schedule, and planning for a farming event this Fall.  I decided to call on a close friend to help, and she came through like no other!  I told her my theme, sent her descriptions and pictures of my ideas, and she executed the plan perfectly.  If you want to purchase some of her amazing items check our her etsy shop here.

I absolutely loved her personalized wipes cases and the baby bundles!

She does great graphic art!

A unique guestbook option that she came up with

These baby bundle centerpieces include a receiving blanket, personalized wipes case, 

personalized bodysuit, and rolled diapers.

Chevron Quilt

I am blessed to have friends who love to quilt with me.  Several years ago, I held a class for some of my friends to introduce them to the wonderful world of quilting and now they are hooked too :-)  We meet periodically to work on the same pattern (each making our own quilt).  Last year, they wanted to learn how to work with triangles so I picked a basic chevron pattern that used large triangles.  This is the finished product.  I am going to display this quilt at an upcoming event at one of our local, organic farms- Country Christmas with Santa.

Sesame Street Baby Shower

My cousins are expecting a little girl in October.  Their last name is "Byrd" so immediately I thought about a "Big Bird" Theme :-)  I have been working on projects for about a month now...had to work in between preparing for a job with a new company, balancing my daughter's summer therapy schedule, and managing and planning a Fall/Holiday event for one of the local organic farms.  Here are a few things I have been working on for the shower...

 Michaels had solid color canvases on sale for $1 each, so I created this easy artwork

School Time

My daughter is getting ready to start school soon (pre-k program) and I wanted to make her a new quilt for nap time.  I also found a new backpack on sale at Pottery Barn Kids!  New shoes, new quilt, new backpack, and a new little cuddle time friend...I think she's ready!

Boy! Oh Boy!

So, I have three friends having baby boys.  They are due in July, August, and October.  I made quilts for one of my best friends and my cousin.  I am lucky to also have a close friend who makes custom onesies, so I ordered a few of those as well.

Father's Day

As a graduation present to my hubby, I made him a law school quilt.  However, I didn't have a chance to finish adding the binding before he graduated.  Well, I was able to complete the project for Father's Day and here it is!

School's Out!

Today is the last day of school for my daughter's pre-k program, and I decided to pick up a little summer treat for her teacher and teacher assistants.  I picked up candied apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and simply added a little tag.
