My Little Hippo

We went to Bear Lake and this is my little Jack being a baby hippo. He sat there like that for like five minutes. I could eat this little guy, SO CUTE!!!

Scripture Totes!!!

The pics aren't very good but I had to share. I am in the Beehives now and I wanted to do something special for them. So I am making all of them these Scripture totes. I had them fill out a "getting to know you" paper and had them tell me their favorite colors and and favorite patterns. These are two if the results. I have 13 girls so it was too much work to make them all at once so I am only making a few a t a time. The girls team teach once a month so I decided that every time a girl teaches their reward it a Scripture Tote. This way they will be excited for when it's their turn, well at least I hope so. Also these are so EASY!!!!! I'll give you the steps really quick

1: Pick out two diff fabrics and get 1/2 a yard

2: Buy a place matt from the dollar store, try to find the thinest one you ca

3: Cover the Place Matt with your fabric but sewing the the two fabrics together, wrong sides facing each other.

4: Only sew 3 sides together so you can slip the place matt inside, just like a pillow case.

5: Once inside turn the raw ends in on the remaining side and sew.

6:Fold the cover Place Matt so the wrongs side it out, sew just the two sides together, left and right.

7:Then turn it out so the right side is facing out.

8:Get your ribbon and cut two pieces that are about 12 inches each, or as long as you want the handles.

9:Get your seam ripper and measure where you would like the handle to go then cut a small hole there, on both the right and left side.

10:take safety pin and attach it to your ribbon and thread ribbon through the hole and tie a knot. Do that on both sides then do that to the other side of the bad.

11: If you like the flowers on the bad then you cane make some however you like.

I know it sounds like a lot of work but it was really easy. Next time I'll take pics as I make it so it's easier to follow.

If you have any questions let me know and I'll help as best I can:)

Latest Projects!!

I turned these into......

THIS:)!!!!! I am finely organized, not all the way but I'm working on that "not to be found in ME" organization thing. I think that this would work for personal progress:)

These are for Jacks toys so he can learn to CLEAN UP:)

London was always talking Jacks Blanket so I had to make her and Dane one. London LOVES hers. Dane really likes his too:) I think they are possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen;)

The Winter is coming so I knew I needed to create activities so that Jack wouldn't make me kill him;) A friend if mine did this so I though I would try it out. I LOVE IT!!!!! You know you love my stick people.

Just an Update

Jack: "Mom when I was a big boy I used to ride a motorcycle"

Jack: "When I was a big boy I would go to the movies with you mom"

Jack: " When I was a big boy mommy I married you:)"

Apparently Jack has been reincarnated:)

Dane took everything out of the basket then inserted himself. Very CUTE!!!

This is after the Dinosaur Museum. This is my new BFF Jamie!!!! That's her at the end. It's so nice to hang out with her, she is so laid back!!! I think she is like one of the best moms I have ever met and she has patience that I hope to maybe get a tiny bit of myself. This ice cream shop is right next to the museum and all kids under 4 get a free ice cream cone and over 4 years old its a quarter and it's yummy. PERFECT!!!
