Here is the growth chart ruler I made for the kids. I added the name to the side with vinyl. I'm glad I wrote down all the measurements from the bathroom doorway before we moved out of our other house. I got those all transferred to this and now we can just continue to use this no matter how many times we move.</div>

Yet another pair of baby shoes. I wonder how many pairs of these I've actually made over the past couple years. Everyone loves them and I love that they actually stay on the baby's little feet. And it's a bonus that they are so easy to make.</div>

I was honored to be able to throw a baby shower for dear friend of mine. I made these cute decorations from paper circles sewn together. I cut the circles with the Cricut in various sizes and just stitched them together with my sewing machine. Another friend made the tissue pom-poms. Aren't they great? </div>

We were getting ready to go on our annual trip to Arizona for Spring Training (Go Giants!) and I had seen a clever idea on Pinterest that involved using a towel or washcloth to make a holder for the toothbrushes. I thought it was brilliant! No more plastic baggie! So before we left I stitched one up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made mine differently than the original one I saw. I used a hand towel and made one side bigger for the grown-up toothbrushes and toothpaste and the other side shorter for the kiddie stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiHnEE1_C12-hLSL19g9B7OZn52DAFXq65xvEqth6W0R1FEd9dwv4se0WAjG9AbOFR9UeE6-aaesycXmoM0di1xGzRGMSITx8oCDFGRkFRvcMyBLSc5TPoRUgHKi0sXofQRoYPTHhg3Puu/s1600/DSCN3715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiHnEE1_C12-hLSL19g9B7OZn52DAFXq65xvEqth6W0R1FEd9dwv4se0WAjG9AbOFR9UeE6-aaesycXmoM0di1xGzRGMSITx8oCDFGRkFRvcMyBLSc5TPoRUgHKi0sXofQRoYPTHhg3Puu/s320/DSCN3715.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kiddie side just folds over the larger side and then the whole thing rolls up and ties with the ribbon. It was actually very convenient. I think I am just going to buy designated travel toothbrushes and toothpaste that just always stay in this. Then I can just grab it and go.</div>

This must be the year for having a baby. Seems like everyone I know is having one. So that means a lot of baby presents! This pair of booties is an original pattern I created using <a href="http://lifebabysapatinhos.blogspot.pt/2012/01/passo-passo-sapatinho-em-croche_28.html">THIS</a> tutorial as inspiration. I say "inspiration" because the video is in Portugese. So I watched it and got the general idea then made my own pattern. My superstar-friend, Sadie, was expecting her 5th (can we say Super Mom!) and pinned that video on Pinterest and asked me to make them. Being that she and I go back to Kindergarten, and they were really cute, I couldn't say no. I just need a picture of the these cuties on those adorable little feet. (Hint hint Sadie) Maybe sometime soon I'll get the pattern on here for others to use. Would anyone be interested in it?</div>

After I made the first pair I liked them so much I decided to make a similar pair for another new baby girl. This one I decided to do in all white. I stuffed them with tissue paper so you can get the idea of what they are supposed to look like. The long ribbon is to tie them up ballet style. </div>

This next pair of shoes went to the same little girl as the all white slippers above. There is a story behind these. The past couple years, we have held a Service Auction at our church and all the women donate items or services to be auctioned off. Services like babysitting or house cleaning, and things like homemade bread or quilts. I donated a pair of custom leather-soled baby shoes. The girl who bought it was expecting her first baby and had just found out it was a girl. She was excited and told me that they were using purple a lot for the baby. So I used the purple leather that I scavenged from an awesome pair of purple leather pants I found at Savers. I happened to have quite a bit of purple fabric in my stash so I had a hard time choosing which I liked best. I thought the purple ribbon across the top was a nice touch. I hope she enjoys them!</div>

This last pair is the same pattern again as the slippers above, but done in brown. So many baby girls!! I love it! I chose not to make these with the ribbons tying up the ankle. Just a cute bow on the top of the foot. I love coral and brown together.</div>

This year's Halloween costumes were fun to make. Donevan wanted to be Captain America. Evan found this great mask and shield and I made the rest of the costume. He was pretty excited about it. Clara is somewhat obsessed with Toy Story so I thought she would love to be Jessie the Cowgirl. I was right. I made the shirt and stitched some cow print onto some of her jeans. The hat was a clearance find, but was brown so I painted it red and white. The wig was, of course, red yarn.</div>

Iris wanted to be an Oregon cheerleader so that's what I made. She loved it. I was a little sad that they didn't let me choose what they were going to be this year, but it was still fun to make exactly what they wanted.</div>

My sister suggested that for Christmas she would like a Family Home Evening Board, but I didn't want to do just a regular FHE board with the tags with everyone's names that hang on the pegs. I decided that I would make it a chalk board. That way if "Mom" needed to do more than one task, she wouldn't need more than one tag. Does that make sense? So I painted a board with chalkboard paint and cut the vinyl on my Cricut. I also attached a clothespin to hold a piece of chalk on the side. It has a sawtooth hanger on the back so it can be hung on the wall. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.</div>

This is obviously for Clara's 2nd birthday. Remember how I said she loves Toy Story...well here is more proof. I looked all over Pinterest and other blogs to figure out a cute way to do a Jessie cake. There are so many good ideas out there. In the end this is what I came up with. I really liked it and Clara loved it!</div>

To be honest, I was getting really discouraged. Pinterest and all the other amazing blogs out there made me feel very inadequate. I couldn't see people wanting to look at my dinky little blog when there are so many other incredible blogs out there. But I finally realized I wasn't really doing it for other people. I was doing it for me. I wanted to keep track of the things I create. So even if not one single person reads this, I will continue blogging. It makes me happy and it gives me satisfaction knowing that I created these things.</div>

Here are a pair of cute little shoes I made for a friend that had a baby girl. (Doesn't matter that the baby girl is now a year old.) I used <a href="http://www.fleetingthing.com/handmade/baby-gifts/the-mila-baby-shoe-tutorial/&2_10_12">THIS</a> pattern. I've used it a couple times and they always turn out cute.</div>

Another pair of baby shoes made with grey leather on the bottom. I've had a lot of friends having babies this past year. I've used <a href="http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/Blog/cloth_shoe.pdf">THIS</a> pattern so many times I should print out another copy. It is so easy to use and I love these shoes since they actually stay on and little ones that love to take their sock off can't take these off. </div>

I co-hosted a baby shower and one of the activities that we did was have everyone make a hair accessory for the new little girl. My friend for whom the shower was for already had two little boys and was looking forward to having a girl to dress up, so I thought she would love having some cute hair things to start her collection. It was a huge hit. These are all the adorable things that were made.</div>

I had a friend give me a big piece of this cute pink camo fabric. I had been trying to think of something to do with it. Clara had this onsie that was to short and it happened to match the pink in the camo fabric perfectly. So I took and cut the bottom of the onsie off and made it into a dress. I love how it came out.</div>

We also made I Spy bags. I actually need to make a few more of these. My kids found this one in the toy box recently after about a year and were so excited by it again. I took pictures of all the things I put in each one so that they can look at the pic and try to find each of the items.</div>

These are handy little things. We took hot pads and turned them into kits for whatever. I use mine as a fist aid kit. But I could see putting sewing or knitting supplies in one. Maybe even a make-up bag. So many possibilities.</div>

So I will be posting a lot of pictures soon. Right now I am going to post some of the items I made for the photo shoot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We have been wanting to get family photos done for a long time and have just never taken the time to do it. When we finally made the appointment with <a href="http://talbotimages.com/">Chris Talbot</a> to get them done, we started thinking about what we wanted to do for them. We knew the location, but we weren't sure what to wear. We had recently purchased a 1947 Plymouth and thought that would be a lot of fun to use in the photos. So we decided to make it a 40's themed photo shoot. I started looking around trying to find something that I could wear that would fit that theme. There's not a whole lot out there that isn't really expensive. So I started looking at patterns instead. I found this pattern and thought it would be perfect. Especially since it was from 1947. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeX3qHOai4-1wtQZ4DAhz0cMqqjOJ2HaYXe8T8pqd7AvZnsaFItyOpWk3HYglbC4zYeXDjw63VXPNo7pZQKRuikGWNUJz6GdClQdCSNRDO4kpJ5Khwn0ZNb9YBYrAxOc5hujk1W8GTYo05/s400/IMG_6437.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657892224515711970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">So I bought it and some fabric and gave it a try. I couldn't find the fabric I was looking for, but this print caught my eye and I thought it would look nice. It was a fairly easy pattern, but a little tricky in some areas. I am actually impressed with myself. It doesn't look very good on the hanger but looks pretty good on and is really comfortable.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYh3jXWFh2twvuicyVn6xdxd36VJ1Jchhrec0klXhE10XclzdzmBNSRuO8ZrtRHBkXgUcIMdfotAeZ9aFudtSaCNnb4bpJMA0veVEmuDDOoDmrgDJi83JwqCeCuuBqqsyOr3SguNhwMJz/s1600/IMG_6434.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYh3jXWFh2twvuicyVn6xdxd36VJ1Jchhrec0klXhE10XclzdzmBNSRuO8ZrtRHBkXgUcIMdfotAeZ9aFudtSaCNnb4bpJMA0veVEmuDDOoDmrgDJi83JwqCeCuuBqqsyOr3SguNhwMJz/s400/IMG_6434.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657892232015478946" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMwWZOh7zu3y8frecc2qvaMdlw5w_8hlwdj7aYLod1xPmOCTSsbCYh4L2RKE2HZ3WWqwH_n8rKLBG1RtSB1L26mk2lvn6dgrAedD31TZrZJapdQjGROL6BT289HcTSQfYb-cXrib7cUIq/s1600/IMG_6435.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMwWZOh7zu3y8frecc2qvaMdlw5w_8hlwdj7aYLod1xPmOCTSsbCYh4L2RKE2HZ3WWqwH_n8rKLBG1RtSB1L26mk2lvn6dgrAedD31TZrZJapdQjGROL6BT289HcTSQfYb-cXrib7cUIq/s1600/IMG_6435.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMwWZOh7zu3y8frecc2qvaMdlw5w_8hlwdj7aYLod1xPmOCTSsbCYh4L2RKE2HZ3WWqwH_n8rKLBG1RtSB1L26mk2lvn6dgrAedD31TZrZJapdQjGROL6BT289HcTSQfYb-cXrib7cUIq/s400/IMG_6435.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657892228456434514" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next I had to decide what to do for the kids. What kind of clothes did children wear in the 40's? I looked online and got a few ideas. I knew Donevan needed a hat and I happened to have a pattern for the perfect hat. I lucked out and got a huge piece of suiting type fabric at Saver's for like $2. It was about 4 yards! Score! I used that and was perfect. It makes me happy to see how cute he is in it and even more happy that he actually likes to wear it.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwQgDdVboRrciG0Y_iZoc-AHHj2mIkOHN61-JEJFX3061zxNpGBrvt-HB7bfYIFNoQkSmEw5R9gOQodsc_c1YRSZ08V7heIusQXcdwMlSmCIAD23YqFM4p3Yu3pqqxqK4DhRhCvUAXq27l/s400/IMG_6407.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657895676599250274" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij-r3Xg-oSJlPOtLZVlHiwsf9U9sHc-D_ykFIo9-bCC52m_3gAmY9SOm_Fic_LCnI3KYGTXzjKVrbQ0VPcnfiuEjeBb40-guOGDHr_V7tCHoVa2dyz5tKa1XuShIXpwp2vId7lcRxipPvb/s400/IMG_6408.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657895673467024338" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I made his pants out of the same fabric from a pattern I scored from Grandma Jessie a while ago.

My sister gave me the idea to add the sweater. (Thank you Haley!) And I was trying to figure out what to do around the waist. It just needed something. So I swiped my skinny black belt from one of my blouses and used that. It was perfect. Evan looks so handsome. I think he needs to wear suspenders more often.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, those are a few of the projects that have been keeping me from the computer. I will work on getting all the other crafts on here too. I am getting really excited for Super Saturday. If you want to go <a href="http://valley2ndrs.blogspot.com/">HERE</a> you can see the crafts we chose to do this year. I think we picked some good ones.

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I made them from <a href="http://www.fleetingthing.com/handmade/baby-gifts/the-mila-baby-shoe-tutorial/&2_10_12">THIS</a> pattern. I got this fabric at the huge going-out-of-business sale at Ben Franklin Crafts. Everything in the entire store was 80% off. The next day was 90% off but I'm glad I went the day before because I heard there wasn't anything left. I got $1100 worth of stuff for $228. Not too shabby. I stocked up on anything and everything. I especially went crazy with the fabric. So now I have a ton of fabric to sew with! Yeah for me!</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, I thought this fabric would be really cute for these shoes. I was right. They are adorable. I love for Clara to wear them. I am seriously thinking of trying to make some in my size. I loved them so much I made a second pair to send to a friend that just had a baby girl. I hope she likes them as much as I do.</div>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782973912633639946.post-5414064343154456562011-07-21T09:55:00.000-07:002011-07-21T10:14:29.342-07:00Skirt and Shorts<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was selfish this week for Sewing Day. I only made stuff for me. I had purchased a queen size fitted sheet at Savers at the Memorial Day sale when everything is 50% off. 50% off sales at thrift stores are CRAZY!! People go nuts! We did manage to snag some good things. Mostly clothes for the kids, but I found this pretty print in the form of a bed sheet. And it was $2 so I had to get it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So I finally pulled it out and looked through my patterns trying to decide what to make out of it. I almost made a shirt dress but settled on a cute flowy skirt. Super easy pattern. Only 3 pieces in the whole pattern. The front and back are just huge half circles sewn together at the sides and then the front waistband connects in the back with hook and eyes and the back waistband ties in the front. I love it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0a0c-2bseSSYekslLNlUv1UX8TbKIDRODb-HK6MtpHj-BG0AC7hvF0we7FBk9NhkI5js-jLlMeKs3pyjvl9oQuQlBhNjsIFhukG7kvAvO5Ldl0-ukfndbr9WzWC9mCff5vdsXtmDf_J85/s400/IMG_6120.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631854079135275842" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I took a pair of pants that I bought at Old Navy when they were on clearance, and made them into capris/shorts. I never wore them as pants because they were ridiculously wide at the bottom. Comfy but wide. So I cut off the bottoms and narrowed the legs a little then hemmed them up to make me a new pair of shorts for the summer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2sgkln0eo-G76lNjAUifUuaNR2x5ev6o5IfxOd-zYG7Ok5XsYvNqwvUXRKlV6rxca8zfzCyNdEaF4Eqww_H406YLbY00H1-nLZzpnDNWg1kYZ0yJ8bGRD3_iihbem1PBc584G7jufrMCx/s400/IMG_6123.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631854086309977986" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0a0c-2bseSSYekslLNlUv1UX8TbKIDRODb-HK6MtpHj-BG0AC7hvF0we7FBk9NhkI5js-jLlMeKs3pyjvl9oQuQlBhNjsIFhukG7kvAvO5Ldl0-ukfndbr9WzWC9mCff5vdsXtmDf_J85/s1600/IMG_6120.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0a0c-2bseSSYekslLNlUv1UX8TbKIDRODb-HK6MtpHj-BG0AC7hvF0we7FBk9NhkI5js-jLlMeKs3pyjvl9oQuQlBhNjsIFhukG7kvAvO5Ldl0-ukfndbr9WzWC9mCff5vdsXtmDf_J85/s1600/IMG_6120.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0a0c-2bseSSYekslLNlUv1UX8TbKIDRODb-HK6MtpHj-BG0AC7hvF0we7FBk9NhkI5js-jLlMeKs3pyjvl9oQuQlBhNjsIFhukG7kvAvO5Ldl0-ukfndbr9WzWC9mCff5vdsXtmDf_J85/s1600/IMG_6120.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></div><div><br /></div>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782973912633639946.post-26562754632148369902011-07-13T13:53:00.000-07:002011-07-13T14:15:34.753-07:00Car Cozy and Diaper Clutch<div style="text-align: center;">This week's Sewing Day projects are a couple of things that have been on my list of things to make for a long time. The first is this Car Cozy/Carrier/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. I made it so Donevan can keep his cars in this instead of stuffing his pockets full of cars anytime we go somewhere. Not that it's going to stop him from stuffing his pockets, but at least now he won't HAVE to. He thinks it's pretty awesome so that's a success in my book.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZSKZqY884xRXnyN2L63U2B_CdcXzRBvEnnBfTBn01Dd9W1AnN7Ogp_GTD_3RxVt22LQ6riqFuNReIkVoUBiPhl71zk_H9R1yZTW2qApS2x44_8l2H3ojBMBywDujFu9XDgyyqUIBuyI2/s1600/IMG_5881.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZSKZqY884xRXnyN2L63U2B_CdcXzRBvEnnBfTBn01Dd9W1AnN7Ogp_GTD_3RxVt22LQ6riqFuNReIkVoUBiPhl71zk_H9R1yZTW2qApS2x44_8l2H3ojBMBywDujFu9XDgyyqUIBuyI2/s400/IMG_5881.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628943625084834018" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I like how it rolls up into a nice little bundle that I can throw in the diaper bag to have some entertainment for the boy.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYGcbNU2-FmeXCQCVN3LlMgvIKu6F8DPMT_oQ8Gfk3TYEEXZE3qkjxhbUxRa__uTah76ljl3hh8T7Csi6eSfY8qdUXBUVUlTn4dAE7ZCMqSJmIQZa5a8Ug06SaEvS7dj335uPfJsc_4-z/s1600/IMG_5879.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYGcbNU2-FmeXCQCVN3LlMgvIKu6F8DPMT_oQ8Gfk3TYEEXZE3qkjxhbUxRa__uTah76ljl3hh8T7Csi6eSfY8qdUXBUVUlTn4dAE7ZCMqSJmIQZa5a8Ug06SaEvS7dj335uPfJsc_4-z/s400/IMG_5879.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628943549924099618" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I made the pockets a little bigger to fit the "Cars" character cars since they are a little bigger than your average Hot Wheel or Matchbox car.

So instead of searching for a diaper and the wipes I can just grab this and save myself the trouble. Plus it keeps all the diapers crumb and juice-spill free. I hate to admit that I just use a plastic baggie for my wipes. I used to have one of those nice cases but it got left somewhere in some random restroom. I sure hope that whoever found it enjoys it. I've been meaning to buy another one, but the baggie works for now. That's three size 4 diapers, three size 3 diapers and a baggie of wipes in there.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuJCIyh2XPq3RYGawGkkkGFZcVhhDwbfxA1t-OOnfi_A3LRaOaZh2GDRUBqlmnSgGXYKwSh3jjx0MOPoaqjBxTG05YbJpgIX883PSgUVu291tIKkr_L1o5UH2nvVZB6j_DH48QcTIL5RmO/s1600/IMG_5872.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuJCIyh2XPq3RYGawGkkkGFZcVhhDwbfxA1t-OOnfi_A3LRaOaZh2GDRUBqlmnSgGXYKwSh3jjx0MOPoaqjBxTG05YbJpgIX883PSgUVu291tIKkr_L1o5UH2nvVZB6j_DH48QcTIL5RmO/s400/IMG_5872.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628943539366355026" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I love to make anything out of denim.

The one in top right corner. The fabric was from the stash from Grandma Jessie. We didn't have enough time to get it sewn together that week so we just got it cut out.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6mb6S_Ha0skOtG3AVM-D-O7aunGk15_HjC9L4jF4tG-oa11yyeu481DPDJsglWcUGGEamYUW4aVB34rCcwQJIQy_0kVFEbBR2fkt0R5xVRWFS2Eq7WoJC9xtxhGowy-Y-YT6vxmdI9U3/s400/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627539207089282274" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih9OL3npSak79YYM9YDR_4qXS3bAThmcHHwVe2VWZb8p7q0vC-Z0HEI5otugD0OtHDDFA8XAFXwS-clbM4zh_mqLvXQdtix10BqpqffukAQ_YPV0O1j1UwCbnp0VxbjAoi16lKhCAOg0Z-/s1600/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih9OL3npSak79YYM9YDR_4qXS3bAThmcHHwVe2VWZb8p7q0vC-Z0HEI5otugD0OtHDDFA8XAFXwS-clbM4zh_mqLvXQdtix10BqpqffukAQ_YPV0O1j1UwCbnp0VxbjAoi16lKhCAOg0Z-/s400/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627539209375839346" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I made a camera strap cover for Father's Day for the hubby.

We donated items or services and then answered questions in order to earn points that could then be used to bid on the items. One of the items I donated was a pair of custom leather soled baby shoes. The lady that "bought" them said she had a granddaughter recently born and gave me the freedom to create whatever I wanted for her. This is what I came up with. I think purple and yellow together is the most cheerful of color combinations.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_5PShVh_ot99W09vhLrW8xr12xbc2t_M8zjvm3_ET0A46kkoBqYTGH_bRPZEUXH8DxJucAUAQ69Q30Yq6JXuoiKxc4WvkHBWTgu4-8kL9VgKBxL5VFLp_tdGZHlY4NWHHJhmlhv4iN1bi/s1600/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-7.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_5PShVh_ot99W09vhLrW8xr12xbc2t_M8zjvm3_ET0A46kkoBqYTGH_bRPZEUXH8DxJucAUAQ69Q30Yq6JXuoiKxc4WvkHBWTgu4-8kL9VgKBxL5VFLp_tdGZHlY4NWHHJhmlhv4iN1bi/s400/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627539201106777826" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2dJSawq-Us72iGpYKY3Ot0QHzJWolLj07UY142iczbxI_PYJwXqx-28Unmy0LwqyZ8HIfd_XySMKmI0ZNGgf51yPFBajOwcd7lxdGP3OVwuPj2gC3so_bUehzbloSTEGBcJ9mpzScFZo/s1600/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-8.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2dJSawq-Us72iGpYKY3Ot0QHzJWolLj07UY142iczbxI_PYJwXqx-28Unmy0LwqyZ8HIfd_XySMKmI0ZNGgf51yPFBajOwcd7lxdGP3OVwuPj2gC3so_bUehzbloSTEGBcJ9mpzScFZo/s400/http---www.zinserphoto.com-Wilder-8.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627539196023090738" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The next week Esmeralda finished her skirt.

Donevan's was made out of an old T-shirt of Evan's. The shirt seems short in the picture but it's because he was sagging the shorts down.

It went so quick that I had it done start to finish all before the kids woke up from their naps. I found two of these boards with paintings printed on them at Savers a long time ago and knew that I could do something with them. Not that the paintings aren't great, they're just not my style.

The past two weeks three of us have gotten together and set up our sewing machines and gone to town with them. I have needed something like this. I have so many projects that I want to do and if I don't designate a time to get them done, then they will never even get started. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It kind of started by chance. These two friends had both recently acquired new sewing machines and wanted to get them out and use them. So I invited them over to set them up and work on whatever they wanted. I set mine up and got some alterations done for a friend who has recently lost a LOT of weight. So we had all three machines going at the same time. All the while, the kids were having the time of their lives getting out all the toys.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcyn6Zp5I0c93fRsRx5M296slPa566OUdF6gbSjZmgWIH4Lkg3i_QRE2Dywp2GGPRS1E0cXnu148PmXXN0FJFhDdS-PKmuitVbRwpS4QTfU_BpJT-CTftZwJ4QjWtRbvNRkp_bPkTr4yv7/s400/IMG_5470.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616335377891220786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Esmeralda hemmed some curtains and made some capris out of too-short pants for her daughter. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGpot4ZaCW4sDlt3OUo-ocEBgz-GZ8ywFlKPtK_xPrDu4051zRR-1TIlF3jTcX40Tl6mV7ra0W5y-8vpYTHvOjLHa2TYec3GflrGTTZM66NnBVVCd3T5a6godVEQF1O3uB3Snx5Ud2NoZ/s400/IMG_5469.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616342749141164738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnb94v9pQ4LCfuAKaZK5svmQnZ2eajhwCEh9SO2EztMsrlRdUcYSsvKac_uvuLqAae-EFFz33IFvD1s_wAU_lwI7yWQ-zUcgPi0inUCskw5Xh7INiy5NqWhxJGQjR5_-eP61u4RpW0Zzc/s400/IMG_5471.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616335388123106626" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">Cami hemmed some pants for her husband and started making some super hero capes for her kids.

So I went through all the fabric that I've been stashing away and found a big piece that I swiped from Evan's step grandma's. She also gave me a ton of patterns so I found a really cute skirt pattern and made that my project for the week. I love it! It's not too often that I make something for myself. Especially something that isn't just a refashion or alteration. The pattern of the fabric makes it hard to tell that there is a yoke-type waistband, but it's there and then the skirt part is gathered at the top.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_sSUPzOpd-JAThkp3QOo6cAXGGXSYasY_2BN_pdawl7Q9z-F9aa-Xu7_gFZBaO83cx8SDYSrp20d1xpxKCcqfpvcxw9ojHNmc0P6tlQimg5PdywO45nTVPdj3lZSyaT_QogzOhK8YqsUW/s1600/IMG_5480.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_sSUPzOpd-JAThkp3QOo6cAXGGXSYasY_2BN_pdawl7Q9z-F9aa-Xu7_gFZBaO83cx8SDYSrp20d1xpxKCcqfpvcxw9ojHNmc0P6tlQimg5PdywO45nTVPdj3lZSyaT_QogzOhK8YqsUW/s400/IMG_5480.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616335921710323570" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I love the pattern on the edge of this fabric.

I wore it once and felt so pretty in it. It then got washed and accidentally dried. Needless to say, I could no longer wear the lovely shirt without somehow making myself 6 inches shorter. I was heartbroken. So I sat and stared at the shirt wondering if I should just donate it or make something for Iris out of it. I went to my stack of shirts that I have held onto to make into something else and saw sitting right there on top 4 plain white T-shirts that Evan was getting rid of. They were given to him but were too small. They were too big for me so I threw them in my stack. Anyways...my brain went to work and I came up with a pretty cute shirt. I took the collar from the birthday shirt and worked my magic on the T-shirt. What do you think? Improved?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next is another refashion of sorts. I needed a birthday present for a young girl. So my mind went to work again. I looked through the bag of fabric I had just gleaned from Grandma Jessie's and found the cute pink flannel. I snatched a pair of jeans from the box of hand-me-downs sent to me from my dear friend Kayla (thanks again Kayla)...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8u0WkyPALYC3SoQ4RshP0tG1nxEDAmhF-Qj9Cbk3jh6uwQOX1ZRGH9T4ufplKO6_SJU6-SqIrdHbG1qLl8i8DyRPQzNHDuvtYmrQgQSqvzyu5OQ1eTsZ4Au7wM2Aj58r-shjZvhTvNdZq/s400/IMG_5163.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593345788898251394" style="text-align: left; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">and made them into this!

So I decided to try and make heart snowflakes. Doing the same basic thing as with the snowflakes, just folding and cutting. I am sure I am not the first person in the world to try this, but I am happy with how they turned out. I got more intricate as I went. It was pretty fun. </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDPViowX1ufv6EAL-C3wbcfjrLvXA3BA4m06ilIg8XatQZmbok2ufEja_JUi55J9HutazZBZ7KmWYYlZg7PeDQyE8vsK5QZ8qRjmWjiLZp6PNL8FdEtJ26fC1t9p1zH4lGXdU-jn-YWspu/s1600/IMG_4800.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDPViowX1ufv6EAL-C3wbcfjrLvXA3BA4m06ilIg8XatQZmbok2ufEja_JUi55J9HutazZBZ7KmWYYlZg7PeDQyE8vsK5QZ8qRjmWjiLZp6PNL8FdEtJ26fC1t9p1zH4lGXdU-jn-YWspu/s400/IMG_4800.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570369066235959122" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7gmzK_tCUlW6A_xlefZprUNTZott69Ik33jxjOPh9kf9OyDQvVmr8eP0SODt19GjgFA3jC2pMaAOyCdZ8GIVmGQ0-pUgyW6G1PfH1VvgqKoSseoDMPEzfOCj_USB3T-1BQpejXxPPuyR/s1600/IMG_4802.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7gmzK_tCUlW6A_xlefZprUNTZott69Ik33jxjOPh9kf9OyDQvVmr8eP0SODt19GjgFA3jC2pMaAOyCdZ8GIVmGQ0-pUgyW6G1PfH1VvgqKoSseoDMPEzfOCj_USB3T-1BQpejXxPPuyR/s400/IMG_4802.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570369059687792050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0wPDR6qEKEgr8PDE_yBBGYpfeiHXhwNTyXCKb_P5d2dFwD24fFAmJ0DK9po-e9jkRWKUYpo9I30p_lqBSi0QHE5jFoqIiym-gjDnxtP8KWPIbyXJjIiOPrnQJRwKkpIfkE7KUCMQO4P4J/s1600/IMG_4804.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0wPDR6qEKEgr8PDE_yBBGYpfeiHXhwNTyXCKb_P5d2dFwD24fFAmJ0DK9po-e9jkRWKUYpo9I30p_lqBSi0QHE5jFoqIiym-gjDnxtP8KWPIbyXJjIiOPrnQJRwKkpIfkE7KUCMQO4P4J/s400/IMG_4804.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570369057410588018" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYVen2JKltYk5auEKoIFiPYLw3HQEvdc3qO1BtjGHZkoR6rBADl7WKhG5CNO4QqWWphz0wojrnNW84fTLSc_mgKTwR8XBakgOwuAGC1Iy_jvle4CNbzmcx32lR3x90d1GPk33zto3RIP_/s1600/IMG_4806.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYVen2JKltYk5auEKoIFiPYLw3HQEvdc3qO1BtjGHZkoR6rBADl7WKhG5CNO4QqWWphz0wojrnNW84fTLSc_mgKTwR8XBakgOwuAGC1Iy_jvle4CNbzmcx32lR3x90d1GPk33zto3RIP_/s400/IMG_4806.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570369056904419650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZIurBMII-45ppzWQJin0DW4GhXTnLGtYolQ-vkFkki2bU66bsKcQjHvo_3q3yCxHxpxujN9cwZMmCXYg0b7eZ-TGPAxyv_oqLcPulBkXurFqOwZ9-sHqvIiOWymL-YKHq1mv4H3N5dw7/s1600/IMG_4807.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZIurBMII-45ppzWQJin0DW4GhXTnLGtYolQ-vkFkki2bU66bsKcQjHvo_3q3yCxHxpxujN9cwZMmCXYg0b7eZ-TGPAxyv_oqLcPulBkXurFqOwZ9-sHqvIiOWymL-YKHq1mv4H3N5dw7/s400/IMG_4807.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570369057025647634" /></a><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am linking to:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.iamonly1woman.blogspot.com//">A Vision to Remember</a></div>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782973912633639946.post-59704677054839759392011-02-02T18:32:00.000-08:002011-02-02T18:40:59.924-08:00Tie Dye Booties<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center; ">A friend of mine asked me to make some tie dye booties.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Well...this is how it happened.

Well actually just the plaques that I made for her kids. The other stuff I still don't have photos of. Anyways...for an early Christmas present my sweet husband bought me a Cricut on Black Friday. He got a BIG discount. I was sooo happy. I've wanted one for a while. What a great husband!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So using my new toy, I made these for my nieces and nephews. I painted the board first then rubbed most of the paint off so it was really light. Once that was dry, I cut their names with said toy and stuck 'em on. Then I painted the board again, over the name. After more dry time, I peeled the name off and stuck the saying over the top. Attached some ribbon and sent 'em off. I actually really liked them and am planning on making some for my kids. Someday.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtEwwCk1avFpr1lvcR5hjNBNtxs4-NWTcWtWskfsrCT9GJNltAft_a4c7PKX8BtuX0NpB2OF2ZpCj1vZMbQc1_Gk-XjbzwnOwDmMQ3CvXlztsWPqTQljDcapABddiDl86wE0F_icQBBhW1/s1600/IMG_4783.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtEwwCk1avFpr1lvcR5hjNBNtxs4-NWTcWtWskfsrCT9GJNltAft_a4c7PKX8BtuX0NpB2OF2ZpCj1vZMbQc1_Gk-XjbzwnOwDmMQ3CvXlztsWPqTQljDcapABddiDl86wE0F_icQBBhW1/s400/IMG_4783.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568478598244002930" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyFJZxkCvVz246hFXbElKIDMVccxtr3G47DtlvO36fmHnWujmYXixmYrzSceDvvczVf9LAonRoYRao-bOhP1yHDDPq_ttVOnupDqvBD8rC-70oi-pxLbhHdOJGWAkWsPa6tTRpS6iqlsJ/s1600/IMG_4784.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyFJZxkCvVz246hFXbElKIDMVccxtr3G47DtlvO36fmHnWujmYXixmYrzSceDvvczVf9LAonRoYRao-bOhP1yHDDPq_ttVOnupDqvBD8rC-70oi-pxLbhHdOJGWAkWsPa6tTRpS6iqlsJ/s400/IMG_4784.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568478596012968914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikpGWweYFKfpCS4ZvDv-29rbpH4578ITHHqp39TOWSPREGsgBO83o-kibpdniIEZzaNCGUTWkN8qHU6sg92HAU8_MVUkgVg4DsGXPbCAmfgbJf0qHvqmwr0rQiFm7SOra2EQiD29TCT34W/s1600/IMG_4785.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikpGWweYFKfpCS4ZvDv-29rbpH4578ITHHqp39TOWSPREGsgBO83o-kibpdniIEZzaNCGUTWkN8qHU6sg92HAU8_MVUkgVg4DsGXPbCAmfgbJf0qHvqmwr0rQiFm7SOra2EQiD29TCT34W/s400/IMG_4785.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568478591847134754" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-hlubRoyinyxazmQsx0HkVhIMUJniooBmVHpyVCXvrY2sh-5WCUB9ylryzYDkB3lNSWn6MtKyXqUkHvMQOVZEtcbPLvdMJad-ElBa8r-47FGpGJSPXKKR06VZ5Vp979ElKJqjoLOBCQd/s1600/IMG_4787.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-hlubRoyinyxazmQsx0HkVhIMUJniooBmVHpyVCXvrY2sh-5WCUB9ylryzYDkB3lNSWn6MtKyXqUkHvMQOVZEtcbPLvdMJad-ElBa8r-47FGpGJSPXKKR06VZ5Vp979ElKJqjoLOBCQd/s400/IMG_4787.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568478588696027842" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is something else that has kept my Cricut busy.

Put a ribbon through the holes that were already there and hung it in our bathroom by the mirror.

They were made for my nephew Cory's blessing. I had lots of time to make them and still stayed up and made them the night before. I don't know why I do that to myself. But the pattern was easy and they only took me about 4 hours to make. And that included the time spent getting two toddlers ready for bed and nursing an infant. So really not that long. I'm just glad I got them done. And they called for elastic to be threaded through and sewn but I like having a drawstring that you can make tighter if you want, so I just made one with a long chain. Turned out pretty cute.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguyFBiaJ-cJUxqNeUOiCi7PLWgq_Lo_Tf5TRyM2jSRkXwlYGeM9lol1tuOaTs-w3vgY__lmqwzlhPBOg3lJiGRcTnc3DeDeTUMOAq3YAzllYC9FB35YVXFIe4MK-8vPE30Sm-sZdmVKZMh/s400/IMG_4779.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568480927834423890" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjws3wuKJl2E8BM8lVPirGTlKlshiW8qifVRBRq0C6da5pippvVqyyhaYAp6MLg8_YM1A-QEdWavnSUXNseGZzwW-ihZ0qWMrwnzUWQto4-TzPGtKFTcqkutUXJxji0oL4_80UwfQu_WeSM/s400/IMG_4781.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568480917370467042" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UrA4QREkWXJfEcaGVCTfCa37Qw2opUL-2fhDNEsuKD0iqczB_6sLFJyuXqZAl_cOnSKNcws0yoSGPFyeO7-y5ZN0V3s9Li9EkqeVOmKwQxgjcNBQdYtHnFqZpQK8NP9Abw5w2G3oQF3Z/s400/IMG_4782.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568490350775055346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782973912633639946.post-51809574529581841642011-01-22T13:15:00.000-08:002011-01-22T13:18:12.591-08:00Pink and Grey Beanie<div style="text-align: center;">I actually made this hat before Clara was born and before my hands swelled up and became numb.

He is in LOVE with <i>Cars </i>and anything to do with that movie. So I decided to attempt a Lightning McQueen cake. I did the same thing that I did with Iris's princess cake and used Rice Krispie Treats instead of actual cake. Then I did marshmallow fondant. I used gel food coloring and had to use a LOT for both the red and black. I looked up some images of Lightning McQueen and kind of just winged it.

And then I sent it all to my sister without taking a single photo. Typical. So until I can get her to snap some pics or until I get out there to visit, you won't get to see any of those projects. I did take some photos of the stockings I made for us. I have been wanting to make denim stockings for a while now. I crocheted some that we used for the past couple years, but they were kinda small and I have always liked the denim ones. And since I needed another one for our newest family member, Clara, I decided now would be as good a time as any to finally make the denim ones. So I broke into my stash of old jeans and started cutting away. I made my own pattern. I tried to make each one just a little different using the seams on the jeans. Then I hand stitched the names on the back pocket and put those on for that extra little stocking stuffer. I used a belt loop for the hanger loop. They also each have a different Christmas fabric for the lining. I am really happy with the outcome. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgegqPHUhWXhgvAU4EXjXVVBUp5bgsHWQS5lS7nUGd9C5CjAHuSX-S3KGDYpAMVKWkaOA61KcoAMHy-82JjrZNneWo-Y5Jy0qZD14IO2yC6B9FXGT3sRN-u_kQZgClXzN8MuIWkcg1pjiqv/s400/IMG_4686.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558821570236865170" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The detail of the stitching for the names.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVmdeZQXXs0iLG7TpK50UiqFYeyzaCbacO0EVEtDg4X_WZ4YeAT-lclmj09bg3jLIMU_XhMCMAoJ3f6XFRtbkHoj6k3IcbXk0hhpsIe9gb_EtnYvjHMrg7BRhUS-piiVrggF1dmiuMMe_x/s1600/IMG_4697.jpg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQLmJ-TVKltQvxfncMGLdGtyHbgdA3c0aSBjtnl5Py4-emlCTHDfgMfNaisVgUJifdwE8CC_qqO6V82g8rxLtwLJsRBE6G4QHwRxunFXILAyLmK09PZERrpVHa9qyH7qm7LJj-_7X0sOI/s1600/IMG_4695.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQLmJ-TVKltQvxfncMGLdGtyHbgdA3c0aSBjtnl5Py4-emlCTHDfgMfNaisVgUJifdwE8CC_qqO6V82g8rxLtwLJsRBE6G4QHwRxunFXILAyLmK09PZERrpVHa9qyH7qm7LJj-_7X0sOI/s400/IMG_4695.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558821599113914514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidHmW1MxsNQSvF8Am0NHmdF0bgql5_l5zhM0bRHAYrVCgRL-fvsfyc9w0kYo-CV_XNh9IgkSVjJ-3aKVmPB8f4DAUBlDclskZTaeV7GZoVHZPLxYRtrFfoBYUMfXJeuAQgYVoGmY3ylDQO/s1600/IMG_4696.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidHmW1MxsNQSvF8Am0NHmdF0bgql5_l5zhM0bRHAYrVCgRL-fvsfyc9w0kYo-CV_XNh9IgkSVjJ-3aKVmPB8f4DAUBlDclskZTaeV7GZoVHZPLxYRtrFfoBYUMfXJeuAQgYVoGmY3ylDQO/s400/IMG_4696.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558821592723250658" /></a><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;">The green didn't stand out as much as I would have liked, but it still looks good.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3VFkoVmJ7s3dvpB3VoccWcETyrE24clpEY3p0tBvbrrpRKKrrHzSG-GlzXQvI5L5qgfqBuYACsX7eyKdppwnaf82pKaHyP44oicmxa0CTpR_Eya0CfR4rAT94CCvvlb4yAOxWI_2RuV6Q/s1600/IMG_4694.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3VFkoVmJ7s3dvpB3VoccWcETyrE24clpEY3p0tBvbrrpRKKrrHzSG-GlzXQvI5L5qgfqBuYACsX7eyKdppwnaf82pKaHyP44oicmxa0CTpR_Eya0CfR4rAT94CCvvlb4yAOxWI_2RuV6Q/s400/IMG_4694.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558821591016456338" /></a><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVmdeZQXXs0iLG7TpK50UiqFYeyzaCbacO0EVEtDg4X_WZ4YeAT-lclmj09bg3jLIMU_XhMCMAoJ3f6XFRtbkHoj6k3IcbXk0hhpsIe9gb_EtnYvjHMrg7BRhUS-piiVrggF1dmiuMMe_x/s400/IMG_4697.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558821683012982434" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought Iris would like the pink more than red or green.

I haven't been able to do much crafting since my hands are swollen to an enormous size and the two middle fingers on my right hand are continuously numb. But I did manage to get this done. They built a new Dollar Tree out by us so I stopped in to see what good stuff they had. I already had the ribbon but I got the form and the bells there. I kind of just winged it since I didn't really know what I was doing, but I do like it and it makes our front door more Christmas-y.<br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYWA4U0Cmo_jsZdfevTpIMGFXkwaR_CKqL_JeH2YnxVfUzv3_CzqOy38WkrHazCSo8ucD8XWULOwEjv3rj1bjWY7scgGt-_yADX3iGLUnpQbPCa0p-UJEsnCIcO7iiaS0qDYBE4pMDwrNo/s1600/IMG_4602.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYWA4U0Cmo_jsZdfevTpIMGFXkwaR_CKqL_JeH2YnxVfUzv3_CzqOy38WkrHazCSo8ucD8XWULOwEjv3rj1bjWY7scgGt-_yADX3iGLUnpQbPCa0p-UJEsnCIcO7iiaS0qDYBE4pMDwrNo/s400/IMG_4602.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547755704461370370" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782973912633639946.post-26378585587387946412010-10-27T14:46:00.000-07:002010-10-27T15:50:34.201-07:00Bootie Happy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-LsdwzA6u6-UKKw_x-cfo4zn1t5DcqRvv7lajqXmMCLt5EMmZMEQ7lCwRQpWjJN5wWkXIw_Sl65-R2lfTZfEybc0dJhsf4jbxokvN3DFUGn5v8Vdb0PWTl34wI79GVwczhmkwQn8oRzT/s1600/20101026-IMG_4551.jpg"></a><div style="text-align: center;">It seems like booties are all I have been making lately.

Such a natural thing for the both of them. Donevan hops around like a frog all day long and Iris already thinks she is a princess so it was just another princess dress for her. Her dress was a little harder to make than I anticipated, but it turned out so cute. And I love how the frog turned out too. Getting pictures of them was the hardest part of the whole process!<br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVhrFNuNZ7noVQ26If-DQ6j54-2NRFOSxa6APXQJGClhRyahkt43_iwrric3zSHKLOpPPczdG8ydSa68peAVA6Vo7f-OV0kjsDgapTB1ds3hobai8fbsOTMVM3g2H8d0r3HG0tzvE8ATEY/s1600/20101023-IMG_4534.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVhrFNuNZ7noVQ26If-DQ6j54-2NRFOSxa6APXQJGClhRyahkt43_iwrric3zSHKLOpPPczdG8ydSa68peAVA6Vo7f-OV0kjsDgapTB1ds3hobai8fbsOTMVM3g2H8d0r3HG0tzvE8ATEY/s400/20101023-IMG_4534.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532844408906612098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0uJA6Vm5p5_zkm48cRbDYprq-jCFOGBsn3s8cShkqSa_Lec69H2OU1FQYE5IdVyhyphenhyphenAiO9C5rbDjyx_3voOPb-nwEwDYWKbEzKBw46Xau9bOTkseSKUdSYDk-p1QgIcYGi1I7MooLluI4l/s1600/20101023-IMG_4533.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0uJA6Vm5p5_zkm48cRbDYprq-jCFOGBsn3s8cShkqSa_Lec69H2OU1FQYE5IdVyhyphenhyphenAiO9C5rbDjyx_3voOPb-nwEwDYWKbEzKBw46Xau9bOTkseSKUdSYDk-p1QgIcYGi1I7MooLluI4l/s400/20101023-IMG_4533.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532844403404073714" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgF3miptJNytY9zBjFCBNh-IELvpTPzicPjcdgRD2Trj7eojP7hqtMQ2sTWRSTnvjOzVEenQiegqQHNWEbTZrykYM5YoBsYGN1RddY0BeiVxWVwbYYNnm-UG3mERYk_IadzqtGLF9qZ2Ft/s1600/20101023-IMG_4538.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgF3miptJNytY9zBjFCBNh-IELvpTPzicPjcdgRD2Trj7eojP7hqtMQ2sTWRSTnvjOzVEenQiegqQHNWEbTZrykYM5YoBsYGN1RddY0BeiVxWVwbYYNnm-UG3mERYk_IadzqtGLF9qZ2Ft/s400/20101023-IMG_4538.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532842712639454050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnc-gjz0RXdA243eDB0BzbOCK4IJwbq4vO2Tl3AtWc4nQ3Gi_Wwgkt-DhnRpSYEbYp_3QP3khRjVVNQJfhb0k78vnXyzO0PsCoO7Os6p0lWxgrcc3BRJksFzd87tt_rNsc0IXyFheTQ-Vr/s1600/20101023-IMG_4535.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnc-gjz0RXdA243eDB0BzbOCK4IJwbq4vO2Tl3AtWc4nQ3Gi_Wwgkt-DhnRpSYEbYp_3QP3khRjVVNQJfhb0k78vnXyzO0PsCoO7Os6p0lWxgrcc3BRJksFzd87tt_rNsc0IXyFheTQ-Vr/s400/20101023-IMG_4535.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532842712131832962" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">They got to wear them to the Ward Chili Cook-off and Costume party and went Trick-or-Treating around the church and then again at Story Time at the library and got more treats around the library.

I love making them so I am glad to have the opportunity to make so many. I tried out a couple new patterns on a few of them. I used <a href="http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=4732">THIS</a> pattern for these booties.

I've seen a lot of things made out of zippers lately so I figured it would work. I think it's perfect, especially for a girl who likes sparkly things and pumpkins.

I have been really bad about blogging lately. The weather has been so nice and I am outside so much with the kids. We have done a TON of work to our backyard this year and we have our own little park back there. The kids love it.<div><br /></div><div>And then we went on vacation and I have a beautiful garden that I just want to spend all my time in. Anyways...I haven't posted for a long time.</div><div><br /></div><div>And technically I am really not posting too much now. At least picture-wise. I haven't taken any pictures of the stuff I've made. But I do have some other stuff in the works so I will remember to take pictures of those.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was in charge of our ward's Christmas Craft Night at church last night. I am so glad it's over, but am so looking forward to next year's. We did 6 different crafts and had a quilt set up for anyone to work on. Again...super slacker didn't take a single picture of all the wonderful ladies crafting the night away. I remembered to TAKE my camera, I just didn't use it. You would think as a professional photographer that things like that would come a little easier to me. I was just so caught up in all the good times everyone was having and all the amazing things they were making. I didn't have time to make any of the crafts myself after helping everyone, but I plan too and will then take photos.</div><div><br /></div><div>While getting all the crafts ready for the big night, I borrowed a friend's <a href="http://www.cricut.com/">Cricut</a> (thank you Cami) and fell in love. I really want one now. She also has <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/products/products.html">Sure Cuts Alot 2</a> which basically makes it so you don't have to have all those cartridges. Awesome!! I had so much fun. Looks like I need to start selling some of my crafts or something to earn some money for one of those.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, like I said, this post is nothing exciting, but I just wanted to get something different on here. Amazing things to come. I promise!</div><div><br /></div>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782973912633639946.post-47091837453615983772010-06-24T12:32:00.000-07:002010-06-24T12:35:40.460-07:00I want one!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.scrapbooksandmore.readywebsites.com/i//SILHOUETTE-2.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 409px;" src="http://www.scrapbooksandmore.readywebsites.com/i//SILHOUETTE-2.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>I would really like to win something like this.

Lots of babies being born. I was going to use the pattern that I made myself but I can't find where I wrote it down, so I'll have to sit down and make another pair, writing it down as I go. I got this pattern from <a href="http://crochetme.com/media/p/95278.aspx">HERE</a> and it was pretty easy. I'll probably be using it again. I was pleased with how they looked. Very sweet.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8E9-Fggro2-00JxD8wNgjwrLRPBZ42WYAsmjS391IOgfXfwqQnzUIS40p3SsWSNFTvNs-Owe7cX4uFvOiiWsVKzQyZ7zgorhQ8pQdvyXSuSh7iiEP3Ns2ZyHtN09e3yQWuw5uLxlJO_2y/s1600/IMG_3990.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8E9-Fggro2-00JxD8wNgjwrLRPBZ42WYAsmjS391IOgfXfwqQnzUIS40p3SsWSNFTvNs-Owe7cX4uFvOiiWsVKzQyZ7zgorhQ8pQdvyXSuSh7iiEP3Ns2ZyHtN09e3yQWuw5uLxlJO_2y/s400/IMG_3990.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484270768462420642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoWDkzlAyZgs2RuWLUl9WQ81dyTTu-NEba5a2-5FU_hzd9OL-Z_7Pf1RvOgHR9GJ_Xwt35DHFWmRjU0KxUsCocuq9qWnOgcbZstjUvilUj-V74K86Q0N87KS17ooACgJHcPPhGjnhzqnaI/s1600/IMG_3991.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoWDkzlAyZgs2RuWLUl9WQ81dyTTu-NEba5a2-5FU_hzd9OL-Z_7Pf1RvOgHR9GJ_Xwt35DHFWmRjU0KxUsCocuq9qWnOgcbZstjUvilUj-V74K86Q0N87KS17ooACgJHcPPhGjnhzqnaI/s400/IMG_3991.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484270755656992818" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcaQzyDLtN8HYWWrqdY5uQK6QkW1LF9RiDEVfEB1pmWRhM_MQifUKtx6GNif9REZ-uFrMsGwBKB-RuwDhZxVRJLrOhe5fsQv47BL_VzQ4zDFRZahdA2A7zzE4em2g9WpyyqtSK0NH3XnL/s1600/IMG_3992.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcaQzyDLtN8HYWWrqdY5uQK6QkW1LF9RiDEVfEB1pmWRhM_MQifUKtx6GNif9REZ-uFrMsGwBKB-RuwDhZxVRJLrOhe5fsQv47BL_VzQ4zDFRZahdA2A7zzE4em2g9WpyyqtSK0NH3XnL/s400/IMG_3992.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484270748636218706" /></a>Kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17058060428707132027noreply@blogger.com1
