September Project

So at the beginning of the month I gave you a sneak peak, well here is what I made with that fabric. A cute little girls' sundress!

I do have to thank my mom, for the help she gave me, it's been ages since I've sewed from a pattern, as well, she helped with sewing the ribbon on, because I was too scared to ruin it! Thanks mom! I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out in the end. Just tied the bows and attached them this morning.

Coming this afternoon, a sneak peak at October's sewing project.

This week though I will be focusing on paper crafts.

Pictures

Today we're going to go get some pictures taken of Paisley. It's a gift from the church. We leave in an hour and I'm still debating what she is going to wear...... jeans and a blouse or a dress and headband.

Hockey Season has arrived!

Well Josh is very excited this year. He has Season's Tickets to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Which means he get to see A LOT of hockey. Here's just one of his photos from the season opener last weekend. Its the blimp that flies around at intermissions.

Family Vacation

Here's a photo of us in Invermere on vacation. Lisa took our picture for us! :) Josh is rarely in photos.... he likes to hide behind the camera.

Fairmont

While we were in Fairmont, we got a chance to get together with my mom's cousin Lisa. We met her in Invermere for lunch, and had a good visit. Unfortunately Paisley was quite cranky during that time, be we had a good visit anyway.

Cousin Lisa is a missionary in Niger, Africa. So we don't get to see her very often. Check out her website, although she is in Canada for a year, there is lots of great info on this site.Impact Niger On there you can read her stories she submits to the Invermere paper, as well as Friday Fotos - which are always interesting.

Hint

Another picture of Pais on the tractor with Grandpa. By the way, the house in the background is for sale!

Here's one for Dara

She's starting to "wrestle" with toys in her crib. Here she is with a firm grasp on her doll (from Dara and James).

Chocolate Cake..... in 5 minutes?

Ever get a hankering for some chocolate cake, but have nothing in the house? Here's a little recipe to make a single portion of chocolate cake in 5 minutes (in you microwave).

Found this while browsing this morning: 5 Minute Chocolate Cake

Here's a photo of it:


I haven't tried it yet, but will be trying it this week, I'll let you know!

Needle Felted Pumpkin

Needle Felted Pumpkin, originally uploaded by the long thread.

So I was reading my many crafting blogs during Paisley's morning nap today, and came across a neat one that I wanted to share. I've never tried felting (well actually that's only partially true. My sister made me some FAB slippers for Christmas a couple years ago, and I had to wash them to "felt" them.... but this is totally different (I LOVE THOSE SLIPPERS BY THE WAY!).

This is needle felting. Looks neat, never tried it, and maybe one day I will. But thought I'd share with you all, as I know some of you are crafters, and this looks pretty easy.

If you click on the picture, it will take you to a tutorial on how to do this. Neat project for fall, but can be used to make almost anything.

We're home

Back at home this week. Working on re-establishing a routine. Actually, that hasn't been too hard. Paisley's gotten back into it pretty good.

So what'd we do while we were away?

Well here's one of the things I was up to:






These are some wet wipes/cloths that I sewed up to sell. :) ONly in 3 prints right now, but I have a bunch of other flannels now (jet planes, space theme, flamingos). Wet Wipes

Carrots?

We've been giving Paisley carrots this last week. They're cold from the fridge, and she likes to gum on them. Seems to help with her teething. Perfect size for her hand, and no risk of her braking chunks off to swallow.

More sitting

Can you spot Grandpa Yeomans.... keeping her from toppling to the sides? She can sit, but if her head goes off centre, she topples.

Learning to sit up on her own.

Paisley likes playing sitting up. More free hands to play with.

Video

Here's a video of a Dr. Seuss story. He sure hits the nail on the head with this story.

Vacation

We are officially on vacation! It's so quiet and peaceful! And YAY for finding an open wireless network.... I only have to sit in the very corner of the condo.

We are in Fairmont for the whole week! But should have some pictures to post when we are back. I've been sewing during naps, and Josh has been golfing with his family.

Currently, it's Josh's parents, Grandma Schroeder, and Josh's brother out here with us. On Tuesday Josh's brother and grandma head back, and his other grandparents, and his Great Uncle Jimmy are coming out (and they will head home Friday in time for the Stamps game). Lots of family, lots of pool, lots of hotspringing and for me, lots of sewing.

Pictures to come on the weekend, most likely. I think uploading photos with this weak internet connection would take a long time, so we'll wait til we're back.
