Feelin Crafty Friday (a day late)
Feeling Crafty Friday
I have been so busy at work that I have not had anytime to keep up on my blog, I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. This past week I made someting that I have been wanting to make for a while. I am not sure why i put it off until know. I love how they turned out. I made Mallorie leg warmers, or baby legs!
Here is my first attempt at a tutorial. I followed along with this link but did it a little different with it came to the stiching. Here is the link.
First cut the foot part of the sock off so you have just the long part of the sock.
The strech the cut end of the sock over the sewing machine. Sew a tight zig-zag ont he edge of the sock. Now mine did not turn out as ruffled as the tutorial I followed so I ended up just sewing it straight so that it would not fray. Then when I put them on her I put the sewed part to the top and let the orignial finished part show.
Here they are all finished.

I also made a pink pair for her! I love them and they are so easy! I think I have a new addiction

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving! I can not believe that it is here already. Last night I made a really cute hair bow for Mallorie's hair for today. I got my inspiration from my friends blog. It is a little different because I was in a hurry and I had to make it smaller. I will post pictures soon. Today we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving at my parents house. We have to alternate years between families because I never get the holiday off. The one thing that is nice is that working third shift I can still attend the parties and just sleep later. I want to list one thing that I am thankful for every month this year:
January: We found out we were pregnant!
February: For Grandpa Peters. He past away in February but we were given over three years after he was diagnosed with cancer.
March: Family! I realize how much our "family" (Brad, myself, and our dog Carter) is going to change.
May: My town! I love the area I live in and the fun things to do in the Spring and Summer
June: My Job! It sounds weird but I am glad to have a job in this bad economy.
July: Air conditioning. It has been a very hot summer
August: Vacations! we started to plan next summer's camping trips and vacation
September: Mallorie was born!!!
October: Molly's MRI went well and there was no growth.
November: Mallorie is growing and healthy! She is starting to sleep through the night. I love to watch her grow and smile!
What are some of the things you are thankful for this year?

Tuesday Tip
Tuesday Tip
Maybe it is just me but I HATE getting coffee filters apart. I know it is just a small thing but I can never get them. While working in a coffee shop for four years and now working third shift make a lot of coffee. I have found a quick, and easy tip. Just turn the pack of filters inside out. Trust me it is so much easier. Give it a try!

Thankful Thursday
Thankful Thursday
This week I am thankful for my parents. Growing up we would go camping a lot. I have so many good memories from that. We also took some big trips. The biggest was a three week trip to California. We hit all of the major landmarks on the way. They have also ways supported me in everything that I have wanted to do from sports and activites in high school to going to the Police Academy to become a Police Officer. They have helped us out so much. I took a loan from them when I was in college and they let me work off my payments by working for my dad. I now have them paid off and feels great to not owe them money. I am still cleaning with my dad and while I do my mom watches Mallorie for us. I know as she gets older they will spoil her more and more. They love to spend time with us and are always there if we need something.
