Sewing: Fox Baby Set and Ballerina Baby Set

I was so excited when I got an invitation to a friend's baby shower. I asked her what theme and colors she was using for her nursery, and she said foxes and orange, gray, and turquoise. I knew right away what fabric I was going to use for her burp cloths... this awesome set called "Fox and the Houndstooth" from Robert Kaufman. I mean, look at those foxes! They are too much!

I was also beyond thrilled to find these ribbons at Hobby Lobby for the taggy blanket. They went so perfectly with the fabrics. Love, love, love!!

I am having a hard time using any other type of minky than this rosebud kind. It is so dreamy and soft. I wasn't sure it would work for a baby boy blanket, but I actually kind of love it. I think the soft swirls look great against the boyish mustaches and foxes.

I hope she loves them as much as I do!!

I wanted to make this Ballerina set for another friend who is having a baby girl very soon. I love the gold detail in the ribbons.

The ballerina fabric is from the "Girlfriends" collection by Ann Kelle. I bought the turquoise and gold chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby, and the pink pearl bracelet fabric is by Lizzy House.

These make me want another baby girl!

Beautiful yes?

Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned. I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them. And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much. The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them. This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Recipe Share: Egg and Veggie Scramble with Toast

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's easy, healthy, and delicious. It is also very satisfying to know that you're eating veggies in your breakfast!! And you'll find that you feel full for quite awhile after eating this! Ingredients : 1/3 - 1/2 C. Chopped veggies (any kind you like - I used mushrooms, red, yellow, and orange peppers, and onions) 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese (any kind you like - I used Monterey Jack) 1 tsp. olive oil fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish whole grain bread (I like to use Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful bread) Directions : Heat your oil in your saute pan over medium heat. Saute all your vegetables until tender, 3-4 minutes. Mix your eggs together in a bowl with a fork or whisk. Add in your eggs and cheese to the pan with your veggies. Stir until firm, but not brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro. Toast your bread, and enjoy together!
