For my 3 Sister-in-laws...

***I don't know for sure if my Sister-in-law's read my blog...so, if Anna, Olivia or Jenn happens to read this just act surprised when you get it in the mail! :)***

I have 3 sister-in-law's that have birthdays within about a week from each other. 

They are super-cute and always are in fashion. 

{one of my sister-in-law's and I share the same name, she is just much younger and beautiful!}

I had fun putting these presents together for them,

I hope that they will enjoy them.

I found cute scarves that were needing

a little something added to it...a cute fabric rose brooch. 

{I used  the fabric that I got in the mail last week}

 My packaging...I love using clear bags that I order from http://www.clearbags.com/.  I always have some on hand!

I need to dust off my sewing machine...

and get to work...

I just ordered some fabrics from Hawthorne Threads website late on Thursday night and I got it today.  This is my 2nd order with them and they have super fast service.  I am excited to do something fun with these fabrics.  I didn't realize that I ordered so much yellow/gold until I got it!

I love Sandi Henderson's fun line {the left 2 fabrics} and

Anna Marie Horner's wimsical designs {on the right}.

I have always been a big fan of Heather Bailey's

{the 2 on the left}

and I couldn't resist the chair fabric by Laurie Wisbrun 

{it has little birdies on it!}

 Have a great Monday!

Girl's Camp Pendants and Rosettes

I spent two days at YW Camp as the Crafts Lady.

This is one of the projects that we did.

The girls loved it!

I was inspired by Ana Paula over at Get Craftin' to do this pendant.

Super easy!

I printed out inspirational words that they could put in their pendant.

This was the example for them to see.

I have pictures of the other projects that I will post soon.

It was stinkin' hot at camp and we were under the pavillion, too!

The lake water was closed to swimming because of a bad sample of water that was taken by the rangers.

So, the dad helpers at the camp decided to make a "Redneck Hot Tub" in the back of their trucks and drive the girls around the campground.  I wish I had a picture of it...priceless!  It kept them cooled off.

My brother-in-law, Steven, came by the other day.  He is in town a lot on business but too busy to stop by, so we were glad to see him.  I whipped these rosettes up really quick for my nieces and I figured that Grant wouldn't want one so he got a tag. 

We did rosettes as a project at Girl's Camp too!

My mom and I went shopping the other day and found some fabulous deals!  She found this darlin' shirt to give to my niece, Audrey.  I thought she needed a rosette also to match.  This rosette only took me 5 min. to complete!

Have a great weekend!

A Spring Inspired Brooch

I made this little thing today to put on my bright pink sweater tomorrow at church {I have to give a talk in Sacrament Meeting and I thought it would be fun to wear}. 

I just cut out the fabrics that I wanted to use.  I also used 3 layers of Tulle, even though it is a hard to see it in the finished picture.

I did my hairspray treatment again to get the fabric to stiffen up and make it more durable.  {see previous post}

With the pink strip, I just hot glued it as I went around to give it a ruffle look.

At this point, I went around the bottom piece of fabric and trimmed it down a bit with pinking shears.

The back:

Enjoy your weekend!!
Go check out the Giveaway over at LarsenLoves, she has fabulous projects on her blog!!

Home Improvement & Inspirations

While we were working on this last night, I thought maybe I should've sanded and at least primed before we put these boards up.  Mr. B and I are both inexperienced in doing these types of projects, so most of the time we are livin' & learnin'.

Mr. B has church stuff tonight that he has to do, so if the kiddos will let me I would love to get it all primed tonight.  Fingers crossed.  We still have one little piece of moulding still to put on the picture ledge.

I love going over to Elizabeth Kartchner's blog and seeing all of the cool things that she is up to.  She always has a great sense of style and color.  She has a new line of scrapbook products out.  I was totally inspired by her picture wall here at her CHA booth, would love to do something like this somewhere in my house!

I really need to just buy this fabric ASAP from Heather Bailey.  Another fun gal that knows style!  I don't know what exactly I would do with it...bulletin board, something for Baby K, covering my worn computer chair...whatever it is I need  to just get it!
