Weekend Craftiness!

So a little catch-up from my weekend past...

I found some new fabric at Joanne Fabric.  I had to take a trip since it was coupon madness and I did have a mad amount of coupons to use on sewing supplies. I found some great patterns, some of which have already become a new pillowcase for Emily (I'll post more on that later), and the others I will find something to do with them.  I especially love the cherries print! I ordered a few sewing books that should be coming soon and I want to find something in there a little more complicated to try.

I also enjoyed the weather this past weekend.  I ran around with my daughter in the back yard and played a little with the camera.  She is always so photogenic and I could take millions of pictures of her. 

My husband was crafty in his own way.  He made some of his famous ribs and BBQ sauce.  YUM!





 Lastly, my in-laws were also crafting it up.  My father-in-law has been making a beautiful small wooden rocking chair in his shop for weekends now.  Photos of that to come once it's finished.  My mother-in-law finished her re-furbishing project.  She recently picked up an old sewing basket at an antique shop and repainted it.  She now embroidered a design from Aimee Ray's book Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection onto fabric which she cushioned and affixed to the top.  I love the colorful design and the lacy rick-rack she lined it with.  Well done Teresa!  :)
