Sewing Projects and a New Look

I got a sewing machine from my in laws this last Christmas and I was so excited about it!  I just started using it for the first time this last month.  Sewing is so much fun for me for some reason.  Granted, I'm not very good at it, and need help most of the time, it's still fun to create something new from random blocks of material.  My sister-in-law Heidi had her baby shower last weekend and I made her baby boy, Aden a cute blanket.  If I didn't have her in mind while making it, I totally would have kept it.  I love it!  See for yourself.

THE WHOLE THING













I also got my haircut yesterday and here's the result!  I love how it turned out.

 
And here's one of Kyla.  She loves coloring pictures and this one is so perfect of how she really does it.  She gets so into it sometimes!

Good job on making that blanket, it's way cute! Ya good job finishing it too, that does take some time and I too would probably never get around to finishing it. I like your hair too! And I really love that picture of Kyla, she looks so deep in thought wit what she's coloring. It's funny! Lizzy loves to color too. But I don't think I've ever caught her this deep into it ;) it's so cute!
