Giraffe diaper cake

It had been a few years since I last made a diaper cake. I was asked last week to make one for a giraffe baby shower. Well I had been working on a giraffe hat and blanket for this shower so included it in the diaper cake. I have to say it came out to die for. The mon just loved it. Now I can't wait to see pics of the baby in the hat.

Matching tees

Thanks to my amazing friend Pastor Kay I've broke out my sewing machine a lot lately. I've been teaching her how to sew. Now she wants to learn how to appliqué stuff on tee shirts. So today I'm brushing up on my skills and I made my youngest boys matching shirts for church tomorrow. When my big boys get back I'll have matching shirts for all 4 of them to wear to church. I'm thinking guitars on different colors tee shirts or something like that. They will all have ties by the end of summer. Now my next project for me is a new wallet. I'm going to work on that tomorrow.

DIY bookcase

My husband and I made this totally awesome bookcase. We used all cheap 2 x 6 boards. We cut them the length and height we wanted. Then stained them and assembled. We did anchor it to the wall for safety reasons. By adding this one bookcase I took two out of the house. This is step one in my summer make over on my house. The final measurements were 7 feet tall by 33 inches wide. Cost was 8.50 we reused a bunch of wood we had around the house.
