Feeling crafty

I stayed home from church today with Dallin and Tayla who both have fevers/coughs. I really hate missing church! It is my 3 hours of battery charging for the week. Oh well, there's always next week, and my boys better not be sick because it is the primary program and I have been looking forward to it!!!

I have had some fun projects to work on lately.

First I can't stop making these adorable boxes my friend Jessica taught me how to make. I have so many fun ideas and it is great using all my scraps and extras.



You may just find one hanging on your door with goodies inside!
Next I am in need of clothes for my dear Tayla who is just tall TALL TALL!!! I decided to take a pair of pants and sew this cute ribbon on that I had in my scraps. It turned out so so cute!!!




I can't wait to tackle her other pants, after a trip to JoAnns of course.

Last I wanted to post these yummy cheesecakes I made for the scout auction. They didn't do as good as last year, but I heard they were enjoyed. Next year I am going to do slices to share the yumminess with everyone!



I have one more project that I am all most finished with and can't wait to share with you!!!! I hope to have it done by Wednesday. I will just let the suspense build until then...well if you really can't stand it, check out this site for an idea of what I have been up to.

Have a wonderful week, I am dreaming of happy and healthy children.....Beth

I hear you on the healthy kids. Alex was home sick last week. And everyone stayed home today. They just sound terrible and Hannah came down with fever. :P

I love your boxes. I have been trying to find a patter for a mail box so that we could send nice notes to each other. Maybe have Ben even be the mailman. or something. Do you have a tutorial of it? Could I get the pattern.

I looked up your wednesday project I couldn't wait. I have seen those before and love it. Did you order it? I am so excited to hear how it all turns out. because I think they would make great girl christmas presents. Maybe not this year but next for sure. and $12 not bad if it as durable as she says.

Good luck
