The Center Pointe Quilt

Everybody needs to have that one person in their life that cheers them on and makes them feel like a million bucks. I am blessed to have many people like that in my life, but none more than my friend Ashley. When all I see are a series of straight lines sewn together, she sees a masterpiece and tells all her friends about it. She was the first person to trust me to take a rotary cutter to her prized sorority shirts and knew before I did that I could make them into something she would cherish forever. Then she convinced her dad to to the same with his marathon shirts! And NOW!!! Now I got to do something truely amazing! There is no greater compliment than a friend asking you to make something they can give as a gift. What a great gift I get to make for her! She asked me to make a T-Shirt quilt to honor her pastor! How great is that?!?!?! I am just so thrilled to be a part of something so amazing! Thanks Ashley for always believing in me!!! And a BIG HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Center Pointe Church!!!

Friendly Swap

I met a lady at the park with two young boys (and now a girl on the way) a while ago who recently had a yard sale to pass on some blue clothes to make room for some pink. I was running low on clothes for David and she was more than happy to give me a bag for two shirts for her boys. How awesome is that??? I made my all-time favorite rocket for her young one, but for the other a robot was requested. I love a little bartering!!! The clothes she gave me were adorable!

Library Bag

A new library bag! I put a foam mat on the bag that the reader can personalize with markers. :)

Taking a Stab at Room Decor

Sophia now has her own room, but I didn't have anything to put on the walls. She has never had her own room so I didn't have anything to decorate it. I have been thinking about it for a while what to do and decided to do cut-outs much like I did in David's room. Thanks to a good friend who let me raid her scrapbooking paper stash, another friend for letting me use her acrylic paint, and ANOTHER friend for giving me direction (and glue directions) I finally have wall art!!! Yay!


Sophia actually painted the background for this one and those are her hand prints. I just cut them out once they dried. I was trying to make them look like shadow puppet birds. Eh. At least we know what they are. That is the thing about art. It can be whatever you want it to be!




I got these butterflies for only $1. They were raw wood, but I love how it made an art hanger for Sophia's art! It was so easy to make and really makes the room HERS!




These are the ones I did for David's room.
