Cutest Gifts are Hand-Made!

My bestest girly friend had her Birthday this week and I wanted to make her something special.

I follow Annie on instagram and she posted some cute pictures of a sun glasses case she made from Lulu Loves's pattern.  I thought this was the perfect idea for my besty!

Here it is!!!!

This was a fun and quick pattern.

I used some of the yarn I got for mother's day and love how it looks together.

Hand-Made gifts really do make the best gifts!

She loved it and I am so glad to have made it for her.

I always love to see the in-progress pictures so here are some for you to enjoy!

My last 2 weeks in pictures!!

So much has happened in 2 weeks! 

I don't think I captured all of it, but still wanted to share some pictures with you all!

I mentioned last week that my son was helping to refurbish this old doll house for me.

It fits perfect in my office!!

One of my work kids has already been playing with it and moving the stuffed animals around inside!

It is hard to see in this picture, but Kira wrote BOOM on her knuckles!!!!

She said she just liked it! 

silly girl!!

Last weekend we went to San Antonio

We went to the Alamo

And the zoo

Caed got to feed some birds

And Kira brushed a pig!

I spent the rest of this week at church camp with these two awesome girls

Kira drew these pictures for me to have while I was at camp :)

It was sweet to open up an envelop from her and have these waiting for me.

The kids have been playing with legos since I got home

I now have to watch my keys!

Caed thinks he can drive my car since he is as tall as me!!!!!

I walked up to my car to see him in the driver's seat!!!!!

And that about covers it!

I've been crafting but most are gifts so I can't share them yet!!!!

Gone to camp!

I'm at camp this week with two of my girls from church! See you crafty people soon! My week in pictures will be delayed a few days!

My Week in Pictures - Week 8

I can hardly believe we only have one more week left in JUNE!!!

CRAZY!

This week was busy and I somehow didn't stop to take pictures!

I still found some good ones to share though :)

In my weight loss journey I have now lost 15 pounds!

WOOOOOO

My son was having a lot of fun with this bubble blower!

My kids went to their grandparents this weekend and got to do a lot of fun things with them.

Kira tested out her new sewing machine she got for her Birthday.

She already has a list of things to make with it!!

I'm aiming for those projects with straight lines like pillows!

My son helped refurbish this doll house.

It was my sister-in-laws and then her daughter used it.

I thought I could use it at work with my kids!

So excited and can't wait for my work kids to hear that my son helped!

Kira got baptized this Sunday!

I love that my husband has gotten to baptize both of our kids.

CRAFTING!!!!!

I'm making some fingerless gloves for our cutie neighbor girls! 

They are always borrowing Kira's when they play rockstar so I need to get them their own pair for when they are rockstars at home!!

I've been knitting away on this blanket and getting caught up on Grey's on the hubby's fancy Kindle Fire.

AND I think I've decided what to make with these bright colored grannies!!

My little sister pointed out that she liked the colors when she saw them, so I thought I'd make something for her!

I'll let you know what I make after its done!

Just in case it doesn't turn out right!!!!

Bow ties ARE cool

Sunday was Father's Day and we celebrated it at church by having a Bad Tie Day.

I of course had to make sure that everyone would have a tie to wear that day and got busy crocheting some ties from my scraps of yarn.

These were some of the ones I made.

I wore the blue sparkly one that morning :)

Of course we had to get a group shot of everyone sporting their bad ties!!

This might be the only day that you will find this many people in our church all dressed up at one time.
