Quilt

I love going to Craft Warehouse and looking at all of the paper, frames, fun ideas, etc..you get the idea! Well, I ALWAYS end up looking at the fabric and drooling over them. However, I am ALWAYS forced back into the reality that I am not a crafty person. I repeat I. AM. NOT. a crafty person. There was this super cute bird fabric that I had spotted and I couldn't get it out of my head. I have always loved the look of the rag quilt and everyone said it was the easiest type of quilt to make. So with the help of my wonderful sister, Charity and her sewing machine and quilting skills I made my idea blossom!

I sewed most of the quilt myself! It wasn't too hard because all I had to do was sew a straight line. It worked out pretty well ;)

This picture was actually supposed to be at the top, but I put it in the wrong order, again! Anyway, this was the pattern we came up with after cutting out all of the squares.

The finished product! The back is pink flannel, which matches the pink on the front :)

I am no Martha Stewart, but I thought it turned out pretty good! What do ya think?!

Chuck E Cheese's 3rd and final birthday celebration!

The last birthday celebration we had for Evie's first birthday was with Owen's side of the family that live close. We decided to meet at Chuck E Cheese. All of the kids weren't too sure at first, but they eventually decided that it was pretty fun! Evie sure is lucky to have so much love from both sides of the family! Happy Birthday Miss Evie, until next year ;)


This was Evie's first "ride" by the look on her face you can tell she isn't totally convinced! Her cousin Chase was loving it! It was a big monster truck that went up and down and all around!

Her expression reads " why am I sitting next to this huge, overgrown mouse?"

The Johnston clan!

Evie's other two cousins Trey and Keegan. They had finally warmed up to all of the fun rides!

First two birthday celebrations!

Here are pictures from Evie's multiple birthday celebrations! The pics aren't really in order, but it takes so long to upload them, that I didn't have the desire to go back and do it in order! Enjoy!


Evie and Felicity had a joint birthday party for my side of the family on the 21st of March. The girls had a lot of fun and got a lot of fun presents :)
Enjoying cake!

This is the quilt I made for her birthday! I'm going to do a separate blog entry on that.

Opening presents

Blowing out the candle! I made both her and Felicity these polk a dot cakes! I thought they turned out pretty cute!

I also made these little party hats for them. They didn't care for them. I think they looked like little gnomes!

This was on Evie's actual birthday! My mom and dad stopped by our house to give Evie this balloon. She was doing just fine and then my parents showed up and she wouldn't stop screaming. Later I find out that she is soooo scared of the balloon :( It was kind of funny! She never really warmed up to it. It's odd because she has seen balloons before and would always smile at them.

Birthday morning! I told you, these pictures are in no particular order!

This was the dinner we made on her birthday. Of course she couldn't eat any of the kabobs, but she could have the mashed potatoes and she LOVED them!
