Dinosaurs!

Okay, so I've been so excited to give these dinos to my nephews!  They really liked them, and I didn't get a picture of Thomas and his truck patterned stegosaurus or Michael and his green puppy brontosaurus, but here's Weston and his sea-themed stegosaurus.  I know he's a bit young, but in about a year he'll love this thing!  I love the bright colors and they're just so cute and were fun to make!  I also made a purple triceratops for Phred.

A Princess and Twins!





So, for Halloween Kaitlyn was a princess.  She wasn't entirely sure about the trick-or-treating thing when we first gave her the pumpkin basket.  However, after the first 2 houses of ringing the doorbell and then getting candy, she loved it!  It was raining here so we drove to a few selected houses in my old neighborhood.  Kaitlyn ate far too much candy and had a great time!  Also, while we were in West Jordan, my dad fixed my sewing machine.  (Yes, I just got it back from the shop after a six week stay and, as always, there is always more wrong when you get the machine back than when you took it in).  Anyway, I celebrated by making myself this adorable wrap skirt.  I got the pattern off the blog Chocolate on my Cranium.  Anyway, I had some leftover fabric so I made Kaitlyn a skirt this morning.  We matched at church today and got many compliments.  I love it!  The skirt is warm, flattering, cute, and adjustable for when I either lose weight or get pregnant!  (Opposite effects on the skirt, but both goals that I will be happy with in any order).
