A Wedding is in Our Family's Future!!

My son Jesse and daughter-in-law Fatima

are officially getting married in Sept.!!

 

Jesse and Fatima have been together for 19 years and have 3 kiddo's.

 

I went to watch her try on dresses,

with not much success,

but I was entertained by my 5 year old grandson Jesse.

 

 

 

Jesse is so darned cute!

He just kept giggling and giggling.

Jesse wants me to wear a rainbow wig, a rainbow dress

a red nose and paint my face white for the wedding.

That would be funny huh?!?!?

 

I also caught him peaking up a maniquins dress.

Hee!  Hee!

 

I had fun with the grandkids and I can't wait to see which dress Fatima picks!!

The Flower Girl and the Dress I Made for Her

My granddaughter Leigha was Lexie's flower girl.

 

It was hard to get her to smile,

 

but

 

she looked adorable!

 

 

I made Leigha's dress out of a wide prepurchased headband, a couple of regular prepurchased headbands, tulle, ribbon, daisies and a slip made out of a layer of muslin (so she wouldn't itch, organza and then a thicker tulle.

 

 

The whole dress and headband cost me about $22.00 to make.

 

Not too bad and she looks so cute!!

The wedding was so nice and I had such a good time.......

 

too good of a time if you ask Ezie and Mallory.

 

I visited, drank, and actually danced.....and danced.....and danced.

 

I DON'T dance,

 

but I just let go and danced and had so much fun!

 

Anyway,

 

Lexie was beautiful and I hope it was the day of her dreams!

 

I DO!

My niece Jessica got married Saturday to her long time boyfriend Seth.

Don't they make a beautiful couple?

Here's what I made for their wedding gift.

Tawashi's, hot pads, coasters, napkins and a champagne bottle holder.

Enjoy Jessica and Seth!

Birthday Gift, Donation and Wedding Gifts

Jace got invited to a Pirate Birthday Party so here's what I came up with.

I made a bucket out of some fabric that I hade left over

 from another project and then 13 stuffed cannon balls so his

friend could have a pirate war or  play a tossing game,

kinda like bean bags.

The bag also has a drawstring closure so none of the balls get lost.

You can't have a pirate loosing his balls you know!

Hee! Hee!

My older kids are at the stage that everytime you say

 "balls" they giggle so I had to throw that one in.

I also made some yellow play dough and Jace kneaded

 the glitter into it so his friend can make some pirates gold coins.

These are some butterflies that I crocheted on Wednesday

for The Butterfly Project that the Holocaust Museum is doing.

They need 1.5 million butterflies
 so if you'd like to make to make some please do. 

 I'm making 24 of these....

1 for each of my 8 kids, the 14 grandkids and then me and Earl.

 

 

I made this for my stepmom's nephew for his wedding. 

I had them made in October, but just got them mailed out.  Oops!

 Their dishes are a tangerine orange and the kitchen is a green color. 

 I hope these match! 

 I made a set of 6 double sided cloth napkins, 2 tawashi's and a

 crocheted champagne bottle holder...

or it works pretty good to hold the napkins too!

Something Old, Something .......

I participated in Linda's Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue Swap and Stephanie was my partner. I am so far behind in posting this, sorry Stephanie, my pictures turned out really bad!

Stephanie sent me a bag with some old sewing pins in it, some pretty cards, clips and yo-yo's, a pretty vintage hankie that she made into a sachet and it was put in a pink box with a daisy on it, some postcards with some pretty blue flowers, a necklace with a "S" on it and a neat wedding photo. Thank you so much Stephanie for everything you sent! I love the sachet and it goes perfect with my hankies collection!

I made her a Tussie out of a vintage hankie and my sister, Robyn, let me "borrow" the roses and the rose petals that are in the other bag. Thanks Robby!

I used the wedding images to make cards that can be used for weddings or anniversarys and included some little inserts and confetti. I made a couple of other things, but my camera is only working when it wants to. Stephanie has some gorgeous pictures on her blog, so make sure you go check them out and say hi to her!

Thanks Linda for a fun swap and Stephanie for being such a great swap partner! I had fun with this one!
