new ideas brimming over

I am just so excited about the new ideas that I am being inspired by...

I am going to try to make a doll dress form! Yay..

And I already made a messenger bag for my oldest girl...I will post it in a minute...

I am also excited about my etsy shop again! So I will be updating it soon too.

I have been in the process of making a covered dish carrier for Thanksgiving...It says: "Thank you God for everything." On it. And it also says thankyou for birds that sing, for the food we eat, etc.

I will be trying to make my twin daughters each a Lil' Bo Peep skirt. Can't wait...I will be posting pictures shortly...

What I'm Up To...

I am going to try to make this American Girl Tree house for Kit out of...

This... a very sweet lady from our church brought this dollhouse to us this past week. I am so excited. It is the very size I needed to do this! Yay!

I also found a post or blog or something or other that shows you how to make a tree trunk for the underside! This is going to be so much fun when I am done! I think I want an AG doll for my birthday...oh well.

I wish my garden looked this good! This is actually a cake!
My goal is to one day make this cake...
I do not own the pan that it takes to make this garden cake... it is no longer available. *sad*
I do however, think that I can shape these confections out of fondant and maybe find some candies for the peas.

Our summer stay at home missions camp starts on July 18th. Our family is a buzz with the anticipation of it! This will be year six for us! Yay!

A Day at the Springs

We went to Blue Springs on Tuesday. It was a lot of fun! Not a lot of kids at the springs, so there was "elbow" room!

The twin boys decided to get real dirty in the volley ball pit.

Then dive off the dock...

I love this pic of them!

Doing the backstroke...sort of...


The girls were there too! Just not around when I took these photos. But we had fun!
