Things I've made

1. This amazing picture collage
These are some of the pictures we got taken at Target at the end of March. James and I picked out a bunch out of frames together and I designed the layout and hung them. Then my neighbor let me use her cricut to make these words to fill in spaces. "family," "Strait's," and "love." It looks dang cute in our house.

2. This vinyl letter board
The colors match Lizzie's blanket made my Grammy Irma. I really want Lizzie to grow up knowing that she truly is the Daughter of a King. I think that's better than the title princess.

3.Another vinyl letter sign
"Christ is the Center of our Home." I'm trying to live as if this is true.

4. A curtain for Edin's closet
I bought this monkey sheet way on clearance at Murvyn's. I thought Edin would like it and he does. It started out as a fitted sheet so I took the elastic out of the corners and cut that part off. It was easy to sew straight lines.



5. This curtain for my tall book shelf
I LOVED this fabric so I used it to match fabrics to for the other curtains.


6. These curtains for the small bookshelves
After I made these curtains, I realized maybe I didn't need them. The books were pretty organized. I guess I just wanted to add some color to the room. I even came up with the idea to make pleats at the top. I hung them with stick-backed Velcro. Love it.

7. These aweomse quilt block throw pillows
These are probably my works of genius I'm most proud of. I used the scraps left over from the curtains. (And then some. I had to go back to the store twice so I'd have enough for all the blocks.) My neighbor Cami helped me get started. Then my mom guided me on the rest when I went home.

8. Another amazing throw pillow
Cami actually made the center block for this pillow because I didn't have a piece of fabric big enough and I had forgotten about it. I didn't want to go to the store for a third time. I like it better this way.

9. This amazing child

Edin does so many cute and wonderful things all the time. Like sit on this step with a shovel and hat.

10. This beautiful little girl
She melts my heart and brings me so much joy.


11. This awesome face!!


I have to say, I feel pretty crafty sometimes.
