28 already!!!

       So today I realized that my birthday is coming up in about a week and a half.  I have been asked what I want for my birthday and sadly I can not come up with anything.  The only thing that I came up with was a new sewing machine.  I really want to do more sewing and mine keeps acting up.  I have started to look into good machines that don't cost an arm and a leg but I was wondering if anyone had recommendations to a good, affordable sewing machine. 

      Also I can not believe I am going to be 28 years old.  I feel like I just graduated from High School.  It is crazy how times just flies.

Hairbows

I love to make hairbows.  I have made many for my neice and other little girls that I know.  I can also remember when I was growing up I almost always had a bow in my hair.  and most of these my mom made for me.  I have made so for Mallorie and she has got a pretty good collection so far.  So many infact I had to make a holder for them. So the other night I was playing with Mallorie in her room and I thought...I wonder if I can get her hair in a ponytail????  Sure enough I could and a pretty good one at that.

This can only mean one thing... I am going to have to make some more bows!!!!

Anyone out there?????

Is there anyone out there?

I have been posting to this blog for about three months now.  I am just wondering if it is worth my time to keep it up?  I am also thinking about taking a break for a while.  I just dont know.  I love the idea of "meeting" new people with similar intrest and beliefs.  I have been trying to make an effort in posting fun crafts and recipes.  I guess I am just looking for a reply.  If you do follow and like my blg let me know.

Violet

Violet - The New Toy

I think this is the coolest toy.  Mallorie got this from my Parents for Christmas. It is a Leap Frog My Pal Violet.  Not only is it cute but very smart.  There is a USB Cable that comes with it so you can hold her up to the computer and download your child's name (with correct spelling) and their favorite things like animal, food, and color.  Then that information is put into songs and other activites that she does.  I just can not believe how far toys have come since I was little.  I remember toys that needed batteries were so cool... now they connect to the computer. 

What was your favorite Christmas gift?  Or what was your favorite gift as a kid?
