Crafting

I have been really busy "Crafting" lately.  I think that is a term that we Turner girls use freely!  I have been loving making Christmas gifts for my Halladay fam in UT.  I want to post everything, but that would ruin the surprise!!! I have also been busy making jewelry.  It has become my fav thing to do in my spare minute (Oh, who I am kidding, I do it instead of dishes, folding laundry, you know the drill).  Now, it is time to focus on Halloween costumes.  My two older boys have made life REALLY easy for their mom.  Kayden is going to be Clark Kent -  glasses, and superman T-shirt under white shirt and tie. EASY!  Jaren is going to be Peter Parker, which Kayden isn't too impressed about because "Jaren is just copying my idea!"  Oh boys, copying is the best form of flattery.  Anyway, his is about the same thing.  Just need to locate a spidey top for J.  The younger two are going to be Minions, from Despicable ME (hence, the picture).  I have finally been able to find overalls that fit Carter, so now on to creating!! Wish me luck!!

My projects as of late

These are a few projects that I have worked on in my "spare" time! This first one was for my sweet SIL Steph for her birthday! I love the little birds and FYI the fabric that I used on this (I also made one in blue) is from the 70's - from some quilt squares that my mom gave me. In fact, I used to have a quilt made out of some of these same fabrics! This alphabet tree was inspired by something similar that I saw in a home here in MH! It was for my little nephew!

This Family quote is one that I found that I really love. I donated this one to our Halladay Family Reunion silent auction. The quote reads, "Family, like branches on a tree, we all grow in different direction, yet our roots remain as one."
