I saw an apron at a little boutique a while back and I decided that I wanted try to make one. The idea is a very simple one, and when it came to making it, it was very simple to make! I love it when that happens!

3 Friday’s Favorite Finds!
Today I want to share a few new favorite finds that I found!
I have lived in Utah most of my life and I had never heard of Pirate O’s! It is such a fun store that I just happened to find last week! My husband and I were driving down the road and I yelled, “turn around!” Well, I really said can you please turn around right here! :) And being the great husband that he is…he did! This is what caught my eye:
Friday’s Favorite Find
Today I want to show you my newest favorite find!
For many years now I have straightened my hair every day! My oldest granddaughter keeps asking me how come I never do my hair differently. She tells me that I wear it the same way every day. (Isn’t it nice how brutally honest kids can be!) So when I saw a small video on how this curling iron works, I must say that I was amazed enough to buy it! I got mine at Walmart, and that was the cheapest place that I found. It was $99.99… it’s costly to be beautiful!

Check out this link with the video and see what you think?
Last Sunday night we decided to do a little beauty salon and try out my fun new toy. The girls that were there, tried it out and I think that it was hands down a new favorite for everyone.
Here is my before picture: (The same every day, or so I am told!)
Halloween Fingernails
Well, I got a lot of my sewing done that I wanted to get done this last weekend! Hurray! I got the binding sewn on 2 quilts, I got all of my stitching finished up on the Christmas Quilt and I got a really good start on the Halloween Table Quilt! So I feel a lot better about my projects overload now! :)
We went to the cabin this weekend and we had snow up there, but it was a good weekend to be there and to listen to conference and to paint our fingernails!
My daughter painted her’s all orange and one green fingernail. She said that it was supposed to look like a pumpkin with a stem. My granddaughter did her’s with orange and green and black polka dots. I just went with the orange and black flowers, not too brave, but in Halloween colors!
I kind of love this picture with 3 generations of hands!
I hate to admit how old my hands look, but I am so glad that they are still able to work and do all the things that I want them to do! I love the youth of my granddaughters hands and my daughters hands and all that the future holds for them!
Do any of you do any crazy things for Halloween? I know that this is not too crazy, but it is about as far as my dressing up for Halloween goes, besides my witch hat and black wig! :) (Which my grandkids love)
Have a great Monday! Love Ya!

Darling Ruffled Skirt
A while back my daughter made this blue and white striped skirt for her daughter.
She also got some fabric to make another skirt from the same “Izzy and Ivy Design” pattern book So, today I want to show you the other skirt that she made! I am sooo in love with this skirt, look at all those ruffles and bows… it is a little girl’s dream! (A big girls’ dream too!)
Sewing Skirts-Girls Sleepover
Last week I had three of my granddaughters for a sleepover!
One of them had been asking me when I was going to teach her how to sew, so I decided that I had better get on the ball and get it done before school starts again.
We had a sewing… fingernail painting…lots of eating… tea party… fashion show… and dancing party!
To start of the evening we had dinner first, then we went right to work making these skirts:
Friday’s Favorite Find
Today I just wanted to share my newest favorite find!
One of my friends showed me these just recently and I found them at Costco in a 5 pack, so they are perfect to use for myself and to give some away to others! (My friend got hers at Target) These are what I used with my VT Handouts this month, I just tied a ribbon around it and they are a cute little gift. They would be perfect for back to school, teachers, stocking stuffers at Christmas time, or just a little pick me up, (for me!)
They are called EOS-evolution of smooth, and they are the BEST lip balm that I have tried in a long time. I seem to have dry, chapped lips and this worked wonders after even the first application. I love all these fun flavors and lip balm is something that every girl needs! Right?
Blue and White Striped Skirt
This project today comes from my daughter. My husband and I have been gone so much the last week or so that my daughter offered to take pictures of this darling skirt that she made for her daughter to help me out!
This skirt is pieced together, so you could make this in any color combo that you want.
Coloring Bag
I made a little coloring bag a year or so ago and my granddaughter has loved it and taken it to church . It is made with these cute pink floral and stripe fabrics, very girly.
My three year old grandson decided that he needed a bag to take to church, so he kind of “stole” it from his sister and was wearing it at church. Someone made a comment to him about “nice purse” and he was very defiant about the fact that it was not a purse, but that it was his crayon bag! (No confidence issues here!) Well, Grandma decided that perhaps he needed a more “manly” looking coloring bag, (and the fact that she wanted to practice her quilting skills) so this is what I came up with.
Young Women’s Sewing Class
Last week I taught a sewing class for the Young Women in my ward at church.
It was one of the same classes that I taught to the women in a Relief Society activity and the young women wanted to learn, so we did a sewing class for them! It was how to make the maxi skirts that I did here.
These girls were all so cute and eager to learn how to make these skirts. There were about 15 girls there and they all got their skirts done except for the hem in 2 hours. They were faster than when I taught it to the women in RS!
