Shoes...Yes, I made shoes!!!

One night while browsing the internet I came across the cutest shoes for babies. The site included lovely photos and a pattern so you can make them yourself! I am so excited. I used two different patterns. One came out just horrible. I didn't even sew the second one. I need to adjust the pattern or just find a different one. The other pair well...I think they are just the sweetest things. Unfortunately they are too small for my little Avery - her feet are LONG. So I will save them for a gift and make her a new pair. I want to make these everyday. Oh...I made them while watching TV - I always like doing something while watching.

These are the ones I didn't like. I need to make some changes.

This is the pair I love. Aren't they adorable???

My First Quilt


Here is my first attempt at a quilt. Well, that isn't exactly true. I have a pieced together many quilt blocks in the past but this is my first completed quilt. It is for a baby and fairly small. I had some "issues" with one of the fabrics I picked so some of the pieces didn't line up. It was frustrating. Either way it isn't perfect but I think it is cute. Now I have been inspired. Maybe I will work on the quilt I have been piecing for years now!
