Ok...I'm not very domestic and I will be the first one to tell you that. Last summer, I was determined to make homemade pies and learn the finer arts of baking a few key things. I did this because my mother in law is an EXCELLENT baker and Wes loves all of the goodies she makes. I thought I might try to be a good wife. Of course, once school started last August I think I only baked two more times. That's life.
This summer, for a notch on my domestic belt, I have been trying to se w simple things in order to refine those skills. My mother in law (who is also an AMAZING seamstress) got me a wonderful Bernina sewing machine and so I have to use it every once in a while, right? Now, you must understand that when I say simple projects...I MEAN SIMPLE! :) I am still proud that I have made a few things though. I made a baby car seat cover that attaches at the handle to shade your baby with and I am making a little nursing cover thing that my lovely cousin Jen showed me. These things were very easy to make but I am still slightly amazed I could do it. :) My mom is an EXPERT quilter/sewer too and she has been helping me a TON! (She even re-ironed my seams because they were still too bulgy! Thanks Mom!)
Anyway...I'll post pictures once I put the finishing touches on these little items. If you guys have any other SIMPLE sewing projects...let me know. I think I might like this sewing thing.

I need to do some sewing myself! My mom is really good at it and I should have taken advantage of her skills while I'm still close by. With only one more month until I move though, I doubt I'll get any sewing in. Some day....some day!I'm excited to see your items.
You are so cute! I loved the last picture of you! I am so excited for you! As for the sewing, you should try a baby quilt! I love making quilts and they really aren't as hard as you might think. That are actually pretty fun!
We are moving to Glendale Arizona. Trevor is starting Med school there in August!! We're excited to finally start the long journey of Trevor becoming a doctor, but at the same time it will be sad to leave. It should be fun though, we leave at the end of July. :)
Way to go! I can't even sew a scrunchi (spell?) so you can pat yourself on the back. :)
You go you little domestic diva!!! Can't wait to see all of your little projects! (are you making a hooter hider??? those are the BEST!)
