Happy Birthday Miss Mina

My big girl's third b-day party was great.
It was Mermaid themed.

A place for ME!

For the first time in 4 years I have my own special place. I now have my very own sewing desk.
And it was a two'fer! Because I've been meaning to clear off my desk and dresser anyways. The computer cords are now untangled, the junk is gone, the movies are organized, the books are back on the shelf (for now) and all the filing made it's way into the box. Sweet. Let's see how long it takes before I lose my sewing machine to clutter.

Pretty PJs!

I did it! I finally finished a project!
So I really wanted to make all these cute things found on Girl. Inspired.
but I never finish anything I start. I started Mina's quilt before her second birthday, Friday she turns three and the quilt is still waiting for it's binding.
So I decided I would make something to give to my niece for her birthday. Her party was Saturday. Of course I decide this Friday evening. I was sewing frantically at the beginning of the party but they were finished way before gift time rolled around. Well three out of four pieces. But close enough. So anyways, I choose these little cuties for my oh so cute niece, G.
They were so easy and turn out great. This whole project took me less than two hours. That's including shopping.
Ta-Da! Super cute right?

Still need to trim the loose threads and sew around the edges.
