Halloween Countdown

I was looking for some ideas for Super Saturday and came across Poppy Seed Projects. There are a bunch of fun ideas on there, and I love the countdown blocks. Our Super Saturday isn't until Nov. 7th so we decided to do a Christmas countdown, but I really wanted the Halloween blocks. Since I'm gonna be teaching the blocks class I had to figure out how to do them so I went ahead with the Halloween ones. The hardest part was actually finding someone to cut up my stupid 4x4 post. My nice neighbor was making a fence and took time out to cut some wood for me. I'm also glad my mom brought some paper last time she came cuz craft supplies are pretty limited here in the Tri Cities. I'm REALLY excited with how they turned out. Here are some pictures Darin took with his fancy new lightbox!

Seperation Anxiety

I've decided to do a separate blog for all of this craftiness swirling around in my head.  I don't want it  taking over our family blog, and I think I might sleep better if I can keep all of my ideas in one place!  Now that I have actually sold some of the stuff that I have made, I'm a little bit more confident in sharing.  I'm a little anxious about this, cuz if anything, all of those crafty ladies out there have me a little intimidated.  I look at those blogs that are on my inspiration list and wonder how they can come up with such good ideas, keep their houses clean and keep up with everything else and not go a little crazy! So here goes nothing!  Hopefully I can pass on some inspiration to you! 

Go Big Blue

Watching football with Grandpa in 2007(4 months old!)

Ready to watch football with Grandpa in 2009(2 years old!)

We were cleaning out the garage since I was getting the fall decorations out and going through some baby stuff for my sister in law.  Ivy put this size 6 months BYU shirt on and besides the neck it actually fit.  So I thought I would try to fix it so she could wear it this year.  I cut out the neck, and cut off the sleeves.  I ruffled the sleeves then reattached them.  I also cut the bottom off of a white t-shirt that is too short for me.  More ruffling, then attached it to the shirt.  It needed pants so I made some from another shirt I never wear.  Now Ivy is ready for football season!
