Pictures Say Thousands...

I came across this picture today and couldn't not post it. We haven't had a chance to be around a lot of our family and friends since we've been married, so I just really want everyone to get a glimpse into how mine and Clint's family and household run. So here it is...



Hahahahahaha totally kidding. In the words of our neice Hannah, "I'mma boss."

ps this lovely couple will be home in FOUR days :D

Look Out Martha Stewart...

I fear a monster has been released this summer. And it's name is crafting. Actually, the monster started when I was little, but this summer the monster has re-released itself. All of the girls out here love to craft too, so it's like a monster on steroids between all of us.

I told Clint that I wanted to quit college and be a professional crafter, but he wasn't super fond of the idea. He gave me a look that said, "And I want to quit college and play in the NBA." Ok ok I get it. 

Here are some of my projects :]

A baby girl tutu...
 This project was so easy and fun to make. I can't wait to make them for people for baby showers and birthdays. I used pink, brown and cream for this one, but they look cute with basically any color. I would have put it on a baby to model it, but I don't have one of those yet.

Scrapbook pages for our wedding album...
Sadly, these are the only pages I have done. I better jump on that.

Necklaces...
I made both of these when I was in Salt Lake with my sisters and mom. The top necklace is scrapbook paper behind a little glass square (there's a heart, but you can't see it that well.) And the bottom necklace is just from stuff from the jewelry supply store. My sisters, mom and I all made matching ones of those.

And my favorite♥...

Aaaaaahh! I love it too much. I even named her Millie. This is the first real sewing project that I've done and I'm so excited about it. I bought all the fabric at JoAnn's and one of the girls out here helped me do it. I saw a little flower like that on a craft blog so I made my own to match the apron. I want to make a million aprons for everyone, I just love them so much. I'm thinking about selling them in the future, but we'll see. I seriously want to wear this to church, and school, and the store, and the gym, and on Christmas, and Easter, and Columbus Day...
