LDS GENERAL CONFERENCE NOTE BOOKS

Six months ago I made these for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints General Conference and vowed to make them earlier this year.

Well, here it is, the day before the night before General Conference and I am just getting started.  I used someone else's pictures last year and they were okay, but some pictures were color and some were black and white and it just wasn't okay. Tonight I redid the pictures and you can just click and copy the images and print them out yourself, following the instructions on the link above.


 
When my 9 year old saw me making these, he said, "Yes!  I LOVE doing this!"  So, yeah, it's a huge success.

PILLOWS, iPOD, more

I finished up some projects this weekend - and boy doesn't that feel great! I made a turquoise colored pillow to liven up my yellow, brown and orange family room. I LOVE it. It is just the color the room needed. Now I have more to do!


I finished the binding on the first ever quilt I made (and finished two years ago, except the last 1 1/2 sides of the binding). Someone, who quilts all the time, told me that the colors were all wrong and it was ugly, but I made it and I like it. I didn't really know what I was doing, color and hue wise. Next time, I will do better, I hope!

My next quilt will be out of the fabrics above. Not that quilt pattern, but those fabrics. Yay me!

Speaking of fabric. I am in love with these by Tina Givens. I haven't bought any yet, but I visit almost every day.

I made Joseph a Panda bear from gloves. Too cute!

Like all five year olds, Matthew desperately wants an iPod. This morning he took matters into his own hands. He made himself an ipod. Right down to the earbuds. Good thing he is creative. I am not about to buy an iPod for a 5 year old! He keeps bringing me over the iPod to listen to my favorite songs on. He spins the center controller and everything. Little smarty.
When life hands you a broken furnace make pumpkin chocolate muffins! (the oven heats up the house - bonus!)
