{all in the name of charity}

A few years ago I whipped up this little quilt for a young men/women fundraiser.  
I think the wining bidder got it for $35.00... what a steal!
 It was super fun and really easy. 
It makes me feel good to know that my little bit of work benefited someone else.








p.s......It was also my first attempt at hand binding.  Not too shabby...

i finished a few new burp cloths for henry.  he is such a barfer...
with this adorable "lil cutie pouch"tutorial i sewed in my first ever zipper.  it was not even hard!  since this i have become obsessed with zippers. i found this site that i was super excited about. zippers for super super cheap!
i made these cute jamma pants...
and these ones too from this amazingly easy tutorial.  cute pants for a cute girl with really messy hair!

i also made this mail organizer.  it was really easy and would look a lot better if i would have just looked at wal-mart first for heavy duty double sided fusible interfacing.  the next one i make will look professional!
and finally costumes for halloween!  i had the cutest stop sign and stop light in the history of the world.
