My birthday and new projects.

So my birthday was wonderful mainly because I finally had Coleman home for his trip. Paige and I missed him so much!! He came home the night before my birthday at about 1130. It was so great because Zach, Nikky, Declan and Hailey all came up from Utah. We really missed Hilary. Our day was good though. I feel a little strange posting this picture but I think it's really funny. My birthday is always the same weekend as the super bowl. Coleman had to go to Albertsons and sittin on the table when he walked in the door were a bunch of bottles of Bud Light and roses in them. Quite hilarious for a birthday present since I turned 21!!! So He gave it to me and I just died! At first I thought was a creative gift and then I thought what the heck!!! He is so funny I just love him. I also went to lunch with my family and had dinner and ice cream cake with Cole's family. It was a great birthday!! Cole took Paige and me to Utah last weekend to get away and so I could do a little shopping for my birthday. To be honest I didn't really buy anything except for 2 shirts. I would much rather buy clothes for Paige ;) so I did. hehe. We had a great time hanging out with Taylor, Lyndsi and Maecie. They are the Best!! Overall it was a great birthday!

Okay so a few weeks ago before my birthday Coleman had to go to Arizona for work. He only went for a week but it was  LONG week for me and Paige. I decided that after I put Paige to sleep at night I would do some sewing. I am not great at sewing but I enjoy it when there is a project I am excited about. The more I sew the better I get! Well I have been working on this blanket for years!! Sadly this is true. I think I started it as a church project when I was a MiaMaid. I may have been in the Laurels but I can't remember. Anyways we only had time to get the fabric half way cut out. And I didn't have a sewing machine of my own in high school so the fabric just got put in a box and I rediscovered it when we moved and Cole gave me a sewing machine for Christmas one year. Well I worked on it as much as I could before I had Paige but I didn't get it finished and I just barely pulled it out again while Cole was on his trip. It felt so good to finish it and it is something I am very proud of! I also made a carseat cover for some friends that had a baby. It was a fun project too. It was so cute. Baseball fabric on top with navy blue fleece underneath! I hope they like it and I hope that it keeps their little guy warm!! Here are a few pics of my projects..
