Another set of fabric coasters

First burp cloths and receiving blanket

Inspired by grace, I tried making my own burp cloths and receiving blanket for my old kpmg mentor who just had a baby boy

Rosemary bread

This one woman's blog creative place is the sole source of my ideas lately. This turned out to be very tasty! Check out her blog: http://thecreativeplace.blogspot.com/



Excited bc I have never made bread before except banana bread, which is different bc there is no yeast involved

Drawstring backpack

Oh my I must be obsessed with sewing. Just finished this. I don't like making strings. Especially long ones bc you have to turn them inside out.

Fabric coasters

I tried this tutorial out from the creative place blog (same place for potholders)

Still figuring out how to control the speed on my new machine.

Stationery set - personalized!

Stamped and embossed on textured paper- added matching envelopes and ribbon to tie it all together

First potholder!

I followed a tutorial while watching biggest loser (preparing for the taping today) and finished this in 2 hours!

Very excited about this one. Used dishtowels for insulation on the inside.

Steak! Get me steak! You are NOT going to Paris!

Justin cooked this fabulous grassfed ribeye steak we got from the Brentwood farmers market. I made the Yukon gold mashed potatoes and assembled the trader joe's salad with sugar plum tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese, and champagne pear vinaigrette.

It was cooked to perfection!

Drawstring Bag

Very proud of this drawstring bag. It's the most advanced thing I've made since 8th grade. I used scraps of the only fabric I Have right now, so it doesn't really match, but I had to know if I could do it and couldn't wait until I took a trip to Joann's!

The inside lining was supposed to be white, but I just used the same fabric that I used for the drawstring holder and now it "looks" reversible. But it's not :)

Cards and an Invitation??

Here are a few other versions of cards that I made that I forgot to post earlier.

This one went to my sister - thank you note for a bday present

This is evidence of an attempted FAIL - surprising my mom and Mrs. Ho with a weekend at a women's christian conference

Thank You Card that went to Tina...I think. I forget now.

Sympathy card for Rachel's MIL passing

Baby card, birthday card...

Rubber stamp embossing, ribbon, double sided tape...not complicated. One baby card for my kpmg mentor and one birthday card for tri

Cards as of late

Here is a card I made for my new friend Katie who is having twin boys! On a related note, we have been spending fun afternoons together while stamping and making cards, since she is on home rest

The other card is a thank you card that's going to joy, who is hosting me in San Francisco for tim's wedding
