What I've been up to

The project bug bit me a few weeks ago. Here are the results.

My very talented sister, Laci took this cute family picture at our reunion this summer. I, being too cheap to get it framed professionally, found a frame without a mat and learned (and I mean learned more than once) how to cut my own mat.



Next, I decided to recover some pillows on our couches upstairs. I've had my eye on this fabric for quite a while, and it finally went on sale. I think I'll make a table runner with what's left, but that's a project for later.

Again, my (multi)talented sister Laci helped with this one. She's been coaching me on cutting the boys' hair and I finally got enough confidence that I asked her to teach me how to do the faux hawk. It doesn't look bad, especially on such a cute face :o)
