Skirts + Blanket

While I was down in Utah for my break in between semesters, I was a little gun(g?)-ho and was sewing like crazy! it was great. But I made 2 skirts and a Hooker blanket. Thats right everyone, I am dropping out of college and I am now working the corner. :) {just kidding, I really wanted a pink backround but it was more time-consuming to find pink minkie}

Here are the two skirts.... The one on the right is a circle skirt, and the one on the Left is a pleated skirt.
And here is the sexy blanket! My roomies all love it!

My not-so-crafty-work-but-crafty-just-enough-to-blog-about assignment

Ok, so here is just a drawing of an art project from one of my classes, its not FANTASTIC, but still Im pretty pleased with the outcome--

Book of Mormon Stories

This is Wendy's amazing quilt she gave to us for Christmas! We LOVE it!!!!!! I have to blog it because I know Wendy won't. Seriously have you ever seen anything so cute!!

And can you believe she made 3 of them, one for me, Rachel and Heidi!! I couldn't believe it when I opened this up I totally got all choked up because I had seen the pattern months ago at the quilt store and said how much I would love a quilt like it but I knew I would never be able to make anything that great. Oh and Roger wrote this sweet little poem on the back, it is such a sweet family present this year!!

Recipe for soup @Christmas party

I had several people ask me for the recipe for soup at the party, so I thought I would post it: Here goes:

Potato Dill Soup

2 T dehydrated onion(or one fresh chopped)
1/2 c. chopped celery
4 T. chicken boullion
4 C water
2- 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 c diced ham
1-16 oz frozen hash browns
1 T. dill

Boil first 4 ingredients until veggies are tender
Stir in remaining ingredients and heat through.

X-mas runner

Awwww cute, if I do say so myself! I kinda got behind in the runner department, I wanted to do one for every season and all I have dine are Valentines, Easter and now x-mas, hopefully I will get more done this next year!

P.s I totally copies Meg's x-mas quilt so hope you like it meg!

Another Pillow

Since you saw Oaklee's pillow, I had to post Kembree's pillow too. So here it is! Rachel needs to post her whole room. :)

PS Love the new look on the blog. It's very cute (whoever did it!).
