sewing projects...

So, instead of blogging about my family, this post is dedicated to ME! I have felt the need to be creative and to find something that will let me do that once my kids are in bed... so I've got my sewing machine out again!


I was given a diaper & wipes holder as a gift and since I've found the need for more than one, I used a friend's pattern & made these! The middle one is being given as a gift to my sister-in-law with a matching 'hooter hider' ;)


I've also been trying new recipes and so here is my pork tenderloin medallions w/ apple cider sauce and then some blueberry muffins! It all tasted soooo good!



And last but not least, here is my quilt I've been working on for our bedspread that has taken me over a year to get to this point! But, within a week it will be getting machine quilted & hopefully on our bed!! The colors in this photo aren't very good, so when it's all done I'll post one taken in better lighting!

Wow you have been busy. Makes me feel like I need to get motivated. I'm amazed you have so much time to be creative. Your girls must sleep well. The food looks yummy. I'd love the recipes.

So there is hope of actually getting projects done AFTER babies?! Good to know.
These look amazing! I would love the blueberry muffin recipe, they look so yummy!
And where did you get your cute fabrics? It's so hard to find cute patterns!

That looks great Andy! Love the quilt! One that size is quite the undertaking, smart to get it machine quilted.
