Your Christmas Gifts...

That's right.  I can now make pillowcases.  But only for a 16x16" pillow.  The sewing instructor said that I could adjust the measurements to fit any square pillow, but I am not yet at the "adjusting patterns" point.  I will make a pillowcase, I will make it for a certain size pillow, and you will like it.

But, WHEE!!!!  I can make a pillowcase!!  The fabric does not go with any color scheme currently in our house, but I loved it and used it.

Also, a possible Christmas gift?

The shirt, not the kid.

Applique, boom!  I did that!  The J on his shirt--ME!!!  Using a zig-zag stitch.  Yep--MULTI stitching now!  Currently, I am on my third sewing project but we didn't complete it in last week's class.

Discovering blueberry muffins

July has been kinda a bust as far as activites are concerned.  It's been so freaking hot outside that we don't even go to the pool.  I let him wander around outside for about 5 minutes then haul him back into the cool.  (These pics were taken on my iPhone, then edited with a Photoshop app --PS Express, it's free!  Not to plug a brand or anything, but these are the coolest pictures I've ever taken with a phone!)

Thank God he think weeds are flowers.

Laughing at the dogs.

America...yeah!

If you have seen Team America, then you know how to say the above line.  If not, don't waste your time.  It's kinda a crap movie.

Last year for the Fourth of July, we took exactly one picture.  That we can't find because we have since bought a new computer.

So, this year I was bound and determined to get many pictures of him, as it was America's Birthday, yo.

Some of my favorites:

Oh, how I love this kid!!
