My First REAL Sewing Project...

So a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a high chair re-purposing tutorial (here) and thought to myself... well that would save me a TON of money. Instead of tossing out the hand me down high chair we were given by a good friend of ours before Olivia was born I could just make a  new cover for it!

Before:

(This high chair was in MUCH better shape before Olivia got her hands on it.. like the duct tape?!)

After:

(All in all everything took me about 4-5 hours to complete from deconstructing the old cover to make a template from to adding the finishing touches)

I have a few projects I am planning on tackling next... a few baby gifts for some expecting friends, adding some length to our living room curtains, a skirt for Olivia, coordinating quilts and pillows for the girls, replacing the cover/seat for the bouncer we were given from another friend of ours and finally... finishing that darn pillow case dress that I started making for Olivia well before her birthday. 

What projects have you been up to?!

Olivia... A Year in Photos...

When Olivia was first born I knew right away that I wanted to make sure she was well photographed through out her life and most importantly through her first year of life... some of these pictures I have posted before... a few however have never made it past my pictures file on our laptop. There are no words that can describe mine and Ryan's love for Olivia... so there for there are no words written past the first picture.

Watch Olivia Mae grow from the first sonogram to her First Birthday. (You can even see how Ryan and I have changed in the last year as well... Enjoy! )
