These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

I'm sorry that my blog is not all that interesting. But I guess that's the way our life is right now. So instead of a post about something super cool and super fun that we've done... here is a post about some super cool and super fun things that I like.


#1 My sewing machine
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, I just love sewing. I got this for Christmas from Jeff's parents and I love it so much. What's even better is that my mom got me all the sewing tools I need to do any project I want, complete with lessons in sewing/quilting. I've used it a lot already and I don't see myself slowing down anytime soon.


#2 My cricut
More specifically the "Create a Critter" cartridge. I have had my cricut for a couple of years now and I've used it a lot for scrapbooking fonts, but I am now hooked on the shapes cartridges now. I wish they weren't so dang expensive because there are so many cute things you can make!

And using these two fun tools I recently made these...



They are see through valentines. I got the idea from here. It's basically just two wax paper hearts that I cut out on my cricut. Then I sewed around the edges with red thread, leaving about an inch opening. Then I filled them with m&ms and a tag. Then sewed up the opening. So cute and way easier and faster than I thought they'd be.

#3 Blogger app on my Droid
I don't know if this is a new app, or just new to me, but it's definitely one of my favorite things. I can now blog from my phone. It's great because it is so much easier to take pictures on my phone than it is to use my camera and then upload it to the computer. It eliminates one step and hopefully changes how often I will blog. (Although I make no promises.)

Happy Blogging!
