May Books:


Well I have been keeping with one of my goals to read one book a month, in fact most months I read more than one book a month. This month I have read 2…..

The first is a fictional novel called ”Wonderous Strange” it is a  book about fairies living in our world. The portal to the fairie world is in Central Park and only opens once a year, except every few years when it is opened for a week. There are guards that watch the gate because the fairie aren’t suppose to be able to come into our world so they stop them. Well through a turn of event a deadly kelp comes into our world and it is up to a girl named Kelly to help save our world. It also has a little romance which makes it even better. I am currently reading the second book in the series and can’t wait to find out what happens to the love birds!







The second book I have read is called “Missing” it is an LDS suspense novel and I really enjoyed it. It is about a student who goes to BYU Idaho (best of the BYU schools if you ask me!)  and is on a Music Tour to Canada. While in Canada and practicing for a concert she see’s a young girl who was recently kidnapped from Rexburg (Home of BYU Idaho), the police aren’t making any headway and so she takes it onto herself to find and rescue this little girl. It has some way suspenseful points, some romance and fun. I really liked it and recommend it to anyone!







I love reading and am so grateful for my ability to read. I can’t wait to see what books I get to read in June!

Love,

May Projects!


I have been keeping super busy this month and haven’t had a lot of time to work on projects. My house can attest to how busy  I have been. (I started watching 2 kids 5 days a week for 2 hours and boy is it hard)
So the only project I have gotten done this month….. besides working in the Garden….is my sister-in-laws baby shower gift. Which is one of my specialties….burp clothes…. And I made her some special ones here are some pictures of the cute ones I made. 





I have already begun working on my next project…. Here’s a hint…. It involves a lot of an adorable little mouse…….

Oh and I hope to sew a new skirt or two in the next few weeks!
Love,

Birthday Projects


So our nephew turned 1 on May 1st and as much as I would have loved to go out and just buy him a toy or an outfit it just wasn’t possible for financial reasons. So what did do? I got on pinterest, and found some interactive play toys that I thought they would like, I have tons of fabric so it worked out well, and even though it took more time than going to the store to buy something, it didn’t take that long. 
So here is what I made:

Fabric ABC's

Fabric 123's 

The bag for the ABC's and 123's 

Farmer puppets front!

Farmer puppets back!
 I know that my nephew didn’t really care about them…. He was more impressed with the light up toys. I have no clue what my in-laws thought of them, I hope they liked them. I know I can’t wait to make a set for my kiddos!
What do you think?
Love,
