Purple Bling

My sister Shaina is having her 2 year bloggerversary, and she's having some pretty sweet give-aways over the next couple of days, including this little number. I would totally recommend checking out her blog if you want to win it. Oh, did I mention I made it?

1. She's a REALLY good cook, seriously.
2. She has the best hair in the Family
3. Her hands are pretty, nothing like the man hands inherited
4. She's super crafty and talented
5. She's really patient
6. She has a cute nose
7. She has some pretty sweet dance moves
8. She chews on ice when she's pregnant
9. She loves Chinese food
10. She can sew too
So head over to Shaina's blog to win the wallet!

Lizzie's visit

My niece Lizzie is here visiting for the weekend, so we decided to make her an outfit... we made a corduroy skirt, which she helped design and sew

Today I made a shirt that matches, but could also be worn alone. I think they turned out cute. we didn't have a pattern, we sorta winged it :) but that just makes it more fun

Tonight we're having a movie night, and I think tomorrow we might go to the Titanic exhibit at the museum, and maybe the park... who knows

Purple Pocket Skirt

Yesterday when I was trying to find a church outfit for Jayne I realized that she has grown a lot this summer. All of her little dresses are too short now! So today I decided to make her a new skirt. I put pockets on it because she LOVES pockets. It is made out of brown corduroy, has a box pleat in front, a waist band (with elastic in just the back) and homemade bias tape around the bottom, and of course purple pockets. After Jayne woke up from her nap, I put it on her to take some pictures, and she didn't want to take it off. I think we're in love, and not just with Jayne. I'm almost OK with Jayne getting bigger.

Goodnight moon

Jayne loves the moon, maybe it's because she only sees it once a day... or maybe because she sees it when she gets to stay up late, or the occasional time it can be seen during the day. Who knows, but she has a deep true love for it. When she reads her books, she finds pictures of the moon and says "hi moon" one of our cereal boxes had a moon on it, and she was really excited about it "mom, ook (look) mooooooooooooooon!"And just now she came up to me and said, "Moon sleepin', I’m sad" I hope she becomes an astronomer.

An Orange Wallet

I liked the yellow wallet so much, I made an orange one:) and somehow SHAVONNE's name got put on it, and I only know one Shavonne... so this happy orange creation is for her.

Love you sister!

A Yellow Wallet

I was playing around with my sewing machine today while Jayne was taking a nap... and I came up with this little wallet. I think it turned out pretty cute, and I love the fabric. I have 4 more cut out but not sewn yet (out of different fabric). I was also playing with the alphabet feature on my machine, and there's really only one person named REBEKAH in my life, so you guessed it, this happy yellow creation in for her... I love you sister!

Why I love The "Chantry" Girls

When I was growing up in Newport Washington, a new family moved into town.... the Chantrys. Soon each of us Webers made friends with a Chantry, we all had a friend our age. It was awesome. Over the years we've kept those friendships, and three (that's right 3) of the Chantry girls are now photographers. I have had the pleasure of having two of them take my family pictures this year.

Wynona (she's my age, and we were (are) best friends growing up) took these pictures back in May... she lives in Ogden Utah... and is totally amazing. And I should add how much I love her, she's the best. Check out her website and blog

Sarah, is a couple of years older than me, and she took our Family pictures just last week. She's so gifted, and was really fun to work with. Right now she lives in Newport, but before this fall she is moving down here to Southern Idaho! Check out her website, and blog. I can't wait for Sarah to live closer to me, she's so fun to hang out with, I love her too!
