Kinsley's Baby Blessing

On July 1st Kinsley received her baby blessing.  It was a pretty great experience.  Wesley's parents and two youngest siblings flew up from Arizona to be here for it.  Both sets of my parents came as well as my sister and her family and our neighbor.

We were was so happy to have so many people we care about there for such a special occasion.

Another baby Kinsley picture because she's just so dang cute! 

 Grandma Crockett got this super cute outfit for Sadie.

Dad with Kinsley!  I bet you can tell that he loves her. :)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Yes, I realize it is July BUT I finally got around to making a tree skirt for our future Christmas trees.

Previous years I just draped red fabric around the tree and listened to Wesley say, "'WE' should just buy a tree skirt."  To which I would faithfully reply, "But I want to make one."  Insert pouty face.

And so last winter I bought red fabric but the execution of how to make a tree skirt was pretty daunting.

But it turned out to be pretty easy to do and for just winging it I think it turned out great.  :)

My Downy Touch of Comfort Quilt

I just finished this week the quilt I made for the Downy Touch of Comfort program.  I first heard about it on the Make-it and Love-it blog found here.

It is a really neat program where Downy will send out all the materials except thread and batting to make a quilt that once made will go to children in hospitals.

If you are interested in learning more about the program click here.   The pattern is really basic too which is great for beginning sewers or for anyone with limited time.  I'm just saying all this because I think it is a really great program and am hoping others will give it a try.

Here is my finished quilt.
