Going for a walk

Now that it is nice out, Simon and I have been going on short walks. These really are short walks...down the street, and walk 1/2 a block, then turn around and go back. This has been our ritual for a little while now. Usually after lunch. I have tried to get him to go on longer walks, but the boy doesn't like to exert himself.




And just want to apologize for my neighbors and the amount of weeds we are spreading throughout the neighborhood.

Sewing Endevors

This past year I have really taken off on sewing. I have sewn for quite a few years, but I have tended to get excited about finishing a project and would cut corners...and wonder why my projects never seemed to turn out the way I'd hoped them to. Enter Dana from MADE. Her posts and tutorials have taught me that I CAN sew, especially if I just take my time. :) Oh, and patterns aren't so bad either. I have been into sewing bags lately...and toying with making them to sell. I made this one last night for one of Olivia's classmates.

Here is the inside. I really enjoy mixing up fabrics!


I made myself a purse too...you know, to try out my own product! :) I wanted something fun for spring/summer, and I'm a sucker for anything green.

Here is a peek inside:


I even made these keychains for my MOPS ladies at my table. I didn't know how handy they would be until I used one myself!


I love being able to create!

Spring Break

We couldn't have asked for a better spring break. The weather was just gorgeous, and it was fun to have my Olivia all day with me again. It was hard to send her back to school this morning. :(
We had lots of time spent with friends at the park, a playdate with Olivia's best friend, and Friday we went to the zoo!!







The weather was just gorgeous,I honestly couldn't have asked for a better week! Now, hurry up summer!!!
