First evers

Last Saturday, Doug took me to see Bill Cosby! Cosby performed at Durham Performing Arts Center and he was hilarious. Also, he went 40 minutes over his allotted time - awesome!!Thanks, Doug for a fabulous date :).

This week I also went out of my comfort zone and sewed this cute little creature all by myself. That's right. Silky fabric + black felt and yarn = sensory fun! I was a little afraid to sew silky fabrics since I'm such a novice, but it wasn't too hard!




I made lots of mistakes - such as sewing the details on last (I should have sewed them on before sewing the two zebra pieces together...). Actually the only things I did right the first time are, sewing the tail in and cutting out the pieces haha. Still, I am encouraged by my success!

My craft supplies have nearly doubled in size over the last few days. I don't quite know where to put everything.

What should I make next?

Get your crafty on

Look at me! I got crafty this weekend :).


 My mom visited us this weekend and came with a great craft idea she saw at a friend's house.
frame: $ 0.75
paint: 2 for $1
brushes: $ 0.35 ea
letters: $ 1.30ish ea
not bad, eh?




Our front door
Oh and the ribbon is from a red throw that we bought earlier that day - it matched perfectly!!
Are you proud of me, or what?
