Sarah's Baby Sweater

I crochet this with a pattern from a library book. I did it all myself ....no help from mom :-) 
Do you guys like it? I am going to give it to my best friends mom who is going to have a baby girl soon.
It was pretty easy and took about 6 hours.

New Purse!

I made a brand new purse today with a pattern from a library book. Here's how it turned out!



This is how my room looked at the very beginning when I started.












A shot of me cutting the outside fabric!











The lining of the purse laid out on the grid after cutting.









All the pieces of the purse laid out before sewing. A liner, a liner pocket, an outside pocket, strap, and the actual bag itself!









The purse open and all sewed together, after multiple frustrating stitch rip-outs and issues! But maybe the next time I'll be better. It still
looks good in the end!










Here's a picture of the inside. On the left, back section of the purse there is a small pocket. No other pockets on the inside here!









A picture of the front pocket on the purse.









And the last picture of me modeling it so you can all see how it looks!

How do you guys think I did?

Does Your Room Need Cleaning???

Take the ROOM CLEANING challenge!

Show us your room BEFORE clean-up...... then show us your room AFTER clean-up!

Here's some tips to help you get your room in tip-top shape!!


Set a positive attitude! Focus on the benefits:
  • Just think, it would be so much easier to choose clothes from your dresser rather than sift through piles of clothes that are on the floor.
  • It will even be easier to get out of bed in the morning to start the day. Your day will be organized from the very beginning.
  • The room will be more inviting. You can have friends over without being embarrassed.
  • Your parents will be happy!
  • A clean room equals a clean mind. If you keep your room tidy it won't be bugging you all the time. You will be able to focus on the more important things.
  • If you clean your room often, clutter will disappear. You will not tire from cleaning.
And now you're ready to start the challenge!

Air and Space Museum

While we were in Virginia we went to this Air and Space Museum.
This is part of the Museum we went to. We went to the up to the top of the tower you see above.

This was one of the first planes that you saw. This picture is from up on a walk way,but we could get up close too.

This is a big jet that we saw I forgot the name of it though.

This is a Marines helicopter.

Another jet...

Courtney and Ally in front of the Marines helicopter.

I thought that this one was cool with the camo.

This is the view from the top of the tower in the first picture.

An airport that was really close. I took a couple videos of planes taking off, but they won't upload right.
I hope that you guys will enjoy these pictures. I have a few more of like the Blizzard's house and stuff. Maybe I will post those some time soon.
