Call me Crazy...

I decided to make a Quite book for Zach to enjoy during church! Crazy right? Especially for someone who doesn't know how to sew! Well, I was determined and after many months of hard work I am pretty much done. I have a few finishing touches but am pretty pleased with the outcome. This book has opened a whole new love of sewing and crafting. I am definitely no Martha Stewart, but I enjoy the satisfaction of actually making something... I will keep you posted with all my projects! Here are some photos of the pages before I sewed them together. There are a few more that didn't make this photo...


This is the old sewing machine that my mom let me use, it worked pretty good for being so old- I didn't really have anything to compare it to.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS....

I never really understood that saying, until I had ZACH!!! He is definitely all boy! There is no slowing him down, he is either in 1st or 5th gear, no in between!!! I always knew we would have some trips to the ER but I didn't think it would be so soon! Last month on Aug. 16th @ 1:30 pm (I will forever remember this day) Zach was in Nursery at church and fell straight into a door jam, of course he was running!!! He split his head right open, so bad that when he was just about to get the stitches Chris and I looked at each other and said, "Is that his skull?" Never a sight a mother wants to see. After 8 lovely stitches, Chris crowned Zach with the nickname of STITCH. I don't know who this whole ordeal was harder on- Zach or Chris and I? Anyway we survived and I am an even more paranoid mother than before. Can't wait for what he has in store for us next. Here are some pictures of the before and after. I will keep you posted of his changing scar and give you tips as to what gels, creams and oils work best, because we are using them all, (sunscreen is a must)!




My don't mess with me face!!
