More Crafts

Our ward had an enrichment night making crafts, so of course I went! It was lots of fun and I'm officially addicted to making crafts now haha But I'm not creative enough to make my own....... so I'll just have to do them whenever my ward does :) Anyways, I included some photos.

These are Christmas countdown blocks. They were super easy and cute.

I am in love with these huge clothes pins! They are so simple to make and really cute!

They can hold pictures, recipes in the kitchen, or whatever else you want.

I'm gonna order a bunch more of the clothes pins and make them with all kinds of different paper on the front. Maybe I'll even try selling some! But... don't be surprised if you get one of these as a gift ;)

1st Anniversary!

It is official..... Mitch survived a whole year of being married to me!! Let me just say that I love love LOVE being married to Mtich! I know that it sounds cliche, but I seriously feel like I have the best husband in the world. He is absolutely perfect for me and I couldn't imagine my life without him. I seriously sit and wonder sometimes about how I got lucky enough to find him.. .and then convince him to marry me!! He is truly an amazing person to love me and put up with me :) I can't believe that it's already been a year since our wedding day! Time has gone by so fast, but it has been a super fun year. I can't wait to see what the future brings for us. One year down, an eternity to go!!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our wedding day:

Just Married

I love my family!

After cutting the cake.... and in about an hour, we're gonna eat the top cake that we froze :)

My New Love.... Dyson!

I found my new love.... it's name is the Dyson Ball DC24. I think that I'm officially a clean-freak weirdo haha. Since we got married, Mitch and I have been using one of my parents old vacuums. Well it decided to start spitting out more than it was picking up. So.... we finally broke down and bought a new vacuum. Mitch of course wanted to buy the $40 one from Walmart, but unfortunately for him, I am my mother's child. I believe in spending a little more money and getting something that is really good and will last for much longer. I really wanted the full size Dyson Ball, but that was way too much money. Then I found a really good deal on this one at Big Lots! It took a little convincing, but I finally got Mitch to agree to buy it. I am a really big nerd, but it was seriously like Christmas morning when I got to open it! I put it all together really fast and then vacuumed the whole house! It's for all floors... so I even did the tile! I love this vacuum! It picks up ten times as much as our old vacuum. I'm seriously looking forward to vacuuming again on Saturday! I'm a loser, I know :)

It's quite a bit smaller than a normal sized vacuum... it's kinda funny :)

True Love

I've decided that Mitch must truly love me if he puts up with all the things I make him do. Clearly, he isn't always happy about doing them.... but he does them regardless!!

Tired?

Could someone please explain to me how she sleeps like this?! She must have been pretty stinkin tired :)

Christmas Crafts

This last Tuesday, my mother-in-law Becky and I drove out to Enterprise to go to my sister-in-law Jamie's ward enrichment night. She was in charge of the craft this month and they were so cute!! We painted blocks that say "noel" and then made wooden snowmen. They all turned out great! Thanks Jamie for letting us come do them with your ward! And now I just wish that I could do all sorts of new crafts. They're fun to do and I always feel good about myself when I make something cool. haha Anyways here are some pictures :)

So cute, right?!

I love this snowman too! It's cuter in person than in the photo too... for some reason the colors don't look right in the picture.

Newest Quilt...

In my last blog about quilting, I put up a picture of some fabric I bought for two new quilts. Well, slowly but surely, I'm getting them done! Here is the finished product of the girl material. This is my favorite blanket that I've done so far. I think that all of the fabric was super cute!

The front.... and I'm gonna put close ups of some of my favorite fabrics in the quilt...

I picked lots of polka dot fabrics....... I'm sort of obsessed with polka dots in general though

I loved these butterflies!

And this minky is super soft and has a cool paisly pattern

A closer view...

The back ...

And hopefully I'll be posting the boy blanket soon! I just need to make some time and quit avoiding it haha

Halloween

So I realize that it's a bit past Halloween... but I've been horrible at blogging lately! I got a new job and now I never seem to find time to get on here! Anyways, the night before Halloween, we decided that we needed to do something festive! So Mitch, my friend Krishale, my cousin Kim, two of Kim's guy friends, and I carved pumkins. Here are the results......

Can you guess who carved this one? Seriously, he's a fanatic about the Braves!

I carved this wicked witch...

This is Krishale and Kim's pumpkin... he looks so scared and sad!

And here's the little pumpkin family all together :)

After carving the pumpkins, we watched The Haunting in Connecticut. Wow. Let me begin by saying that I hate being scared. Mitch loves scary movies, but they aren't fun to watch for me. So I watch about 4 a year with him. Poor guy. The movie was pretty freaky... at least the parts that I kept my eyes open for haha. I think the creepiest part is that it's based on a true story. Anyways, it was a fun night to hang out with friends and enjoy Halloween!
