My super mom made us travel bags when we were kids, so I knew Sam needed one, too, for our long drive to California. Then I thought he ought to have a smaller version for waiting rooms, church, and such.
A little girl's apron. I know I don't have one to wear it, but I thought it'd be fun to make. See the coordinating mom's apron.
Coordinating mother's apron. I love the colors and the flower. Sorry the lighting is so bad in these photos!
Little boy's pirate apron. I've looked and looked for cute, boyish things, and finally decided that I need to make them myself. This is one of the ideas I've been excited about. Do you think it needs a pirate guy or treasure chest???
Sam's bed quilt. It was my first try at machine quilting. I learned a couple things: use the spray adhesive for quilting and start in the middle. I messed it all up and just don't have the heart to start over after how many days this took. The next one will be better :)

I guess I just can't win!
Big view of our growth chart. I wanted it out of fabric so it could easily go from place to place and be taken down when they're older (but still could be pulled out to update it and see how they've grown).

jen, look at you go! it was so fun to see everything you have been up to! it seems like forever since i have seen you! i love it all! we could just call you martha!
i love it all too... is your etsy shop up yet? i should be buying some of this cute stuff... (or get some lessons from the master!) and i think a pirate guy would be so cute in the ship on the apron. But it turned out adorable. love it!
Oh. My. Gosh!!
Wow!!
You really have been busy. And it ALL looks amazing.
Start your Etsy shop. I really really really want to buy those aprons. I love the matching mommy daughter one. Sooo cute. Seriously.
And if I had a boy, I'd buy the little pirate one too. You are so clever and creative.
Very cute! I love the growth chart! I don't have one for my kids and I love the idea that it is made out of fabric. your little bags are cute too- I've been into making bags for everything lately...:) and I think your quilt looks great! I love machine quilting-but it is a learning process. Cute aprons too! All your projects look great! Do you want to come to my house and finish up some of mine? ☻
It has all been said, but each one of these projects are so creative and simply amazing! I love them all! Maybe one day your creative juices will rub off on me and I can come up with something!
Well done!!
Wow! Sooo cute! I am super impressed! I'd buy from your Etsy shop too! :)
You are so talented! I couldn't do that:) I love your growth chart and the aprons and blanket are just so darn cute!
It was lots of fun seeing you at lunch the other day. We'll have to do that again sometime:)
Jen,
You are so creative. I can't believe all of your sewing. It doesn't surprise me though. So fun! And your two little boys are adorable. I wish I lived closer so we could do things together. I have been reminsicing about my summer days with you scrapbooking and wathcing old movies. Those were fun times. It would be so fun to see you. Maybe next time we are in Utah we could meet up. Love ya,
Anjee
