Sold! (My First Car Seat Cover)

I have been sewing up a storm ever since I decided to make car seat canopys. They have turned out so cute. I have become quite a little seamstress (and I don't even sew.) They are so fun to make. I took some of them to our last family reunion. We have an auction each year to raise money, so I decided to auction off two of them. The Puppy canopy and the Pirate Princess were the tw0 that were won. They seemed to be a great hit. Those who won were giving them away as baby gifts. What a great gift for a baby shower!

The first picture is my Zebra Floral canopy. This one is my first official sale! It will be fun to see when she actually starts using it. (she's still pregnant) I was definately excited to see some benefit of all my hard work. If anyone is interested in one, I can custom make one or you can choose a fabric I already have. (of coarse if you want one I already sold, I can always make another.) I have additional fabrics pictured in my last post. You can leave me a message or email me at jennie.m.pace@gmail.com

Enjoy the pictures! These turned out so darn cute!

Our Little Aspen Tree

A friend of our had mentioned to us that she had this aspen tree in her yard that needed to be transplanted or cut down. It was planted too close to a huge pine tree. She told us if we wanted it for our yard, all we had to do was come and get it. Saturday John got up at 7 am and luckily had some help from neighbors, and dug a hole in our front yard (where we had the old stump we pulled out with the tractor) to accommodate the tree. Then they spent all day trying to get the tree out of Radine's yard. Literally all day. I got home from work at 5:30 and they pulled up like 10 minutes later with the tree. We then spent till 9:30 putting it in and staking it so it won't fall over etc. John was so exhaused at the end of the day. The tree better survive cause I had to convince John that "we needed it."

This is the view from the front deck. All Finished! Horray!!!!

What happened to our Yard?!?!

So this is what I come home from work to the other day. I knew that John and the neighbors were renting a tractor, but I didn't expect this! Originally we were just pulling a stump out of our front yard, but now we have another project going...Our neighbors were renting a tractor to do some work on the side of their house. We figured we might as well pull up the stump in the front, then later John decided we might as well dig up the nasty weeds in the park strip and between the driveway and the sidewalk. We are planning on cementing in to make the drive way wider and then put rocks in the park strip. I am hoping this will not be as long as a project as the bathroom has been (by the way, it's still not done!) Just thought I'd share some pictures!
