A long long time ago...

I blogged, but then I stopped due to work and school and not having free time for anything. Well, winter term ended, I no longer have a job, some awesome friends came to visit for spring break, and spring term has started at school. I know, a lot has happened, but that is not the best part! My little (by almost 2 years) sister and her husband had thier baby this evening! Her name is Natalie, and she is adorable. 21 inches, 7 pounds 14 inches, and best of all healthy! She is over 3000 miles away, but I decided to make her a softie for her birthday. It is my first, and my first solo project on the sewing machine after just one other project, my pillowcase last week. here is the pillowcase first, I only sewed a little of it though, I was learning!

Then today I made Lumpy, Lumpy the horse.

I think Lumpy could also be named frankenstien, and this is why...

Bob Vila made it look so easy...I think practice is in order!

Thats all for tonight, happy birthday Natalie!
