To My Crafty Girls

I am with Amy, that this weekend rocked my socks! I can't even begin to tell you girls how much stinking fun I had. Who knew Heather and Megan got so silly after 10:00 at night...OK maybe 11:00 I guess that's what happens when you have kids and your normal bed time is 9:30!
I know that we all got a ton done and it was so nice to spend the weekend with all of you girls. I have to say that I am truly grateful for the relationships that we all have and am so amazed that 19 Bullock girls can all get together for 3 days and have a wonderful time. I love that we all have common interest and hobbies. I am amazed at how talented each one of you are and love that you were willing to share those talents with the rest of us! I know this is kinda mushy but remember the I am 7 months prego. I do love each one of you and I hope that we can continue this tradition for many many more years!
Thanks again for all of you!
Rachel

Craft Weekend

hey everybody! I'm excited about this weekend. Rach should be emailing everybody a map and directions to the cabin. Also I was just wondering if any of the Lighten girls and Castle girls will be bringing laptops? Me, Linds and Katie are trying to figure out if anybody there will be doing digital scrapbooking?

Crafty Girls Weekend, Doggies, Bibs and Notebooks






Okay! Here are Heather and Megan's contributions.
1. Taggies and Bibs
Mine are actually dirty! Sick! Anyway, all you need is the fabric, you can either get away with 1/4 yd or fat quarters, whatever you prefer. Backing of the same size, for bibs I get terry cloth, inexpensive and works well. Then you'll need attachments, I prefer velcro but you can use ribbons and all sorts of snappy things. I put taggies on one of my bibs, that was pretty cute. Taggies can be any size, and you just need coordinating ribbon for the outside, I put lots of them on mine. (If you guys haven't seen taggies they are perfect for like 4-7 months when they pick at the tags on everything.) These are really good cheap gifts too if you don't have a lil one to use them for!
2.Weiner Doggie
I have the pattern I will bring, I've only made one. This is what it says you'll need. 1/2 yd of fabric (I got a little of a different fabric for his ears). 8" x 12" batting. 12 oz Polyester fill. (I used only polyester fill on mine). Eyes (10-12 mm) and Nose (15 mm) which I found at JoAnns. All of it is sewing, except we need a hot glue gun to put his legs down. Up until that point he will look like a seal :) Anyway, they turn out dang cute, I just used leftover fabric from Sawyer's room to match!
3. Notebooks
Here is a good one for not as crafty or easy projects. They are just regular notebooks covered adorably! You need a couple of coordinating scrapbook papers, some ribbons, any other embellishments and mod podge (the white craft glue, can find at any craft store) and a foam brush to apply the glue. I have made TONS of these, great gifts, plus I use lists for everything. These are a journal and then one is for craft/decorating ideas.
If you guys have any questions, just comment here or email either of us. If you want to do any of these, grab us at the cabin and we'll get to work!
