What I Did Instead

 I was being scolded on Sunday by a woman I visit teach that I haven't gotten to visit her yet this month. As I am the Visiting Teaching Coordinator, I need to set the example and do my Visiting Teaching in order for the Relief Society to follow. (Her words, not mine.) I nicely told her that this month has been busy. I had a birthday, William has a lot going on at school and then the end of school, and our trip to Virginia. Not to mention, I've been working on projects to take to Virginia for the little ones. I got some of it done before May, but the majority of these things, I procrastinated until a week or two before we were leaving. And because of this reason, I've put my Visiting Teaching off until today.

Matthew's brother, DJ and his wife, Laura, are having twin girls! I had a dream last night actually that they already had them and didn't tell us and I was sad. They are not in Virginia, but Matthew's parents visited Jacob and Allison the same time we did, so I asked if they would take the bibs back to Utah for DJ and Laura.  Anyway, I made them the bibs in the picture above. I found the pattern on Pinterest and also the idea to put "Buy One" and "Get One Free" on them from Pinterest too.

Actually all of these ideas came from Pinterest and you can find them on my Pinterest Boards. If you don't follow me on there, you can click on the left side of my blog and it's on the Board called "I Want To Sew This". I hope I'll have a chance to try sewing all the stuff I have on there.

Anyway, here is a newborn boy tie for sweet little Reed that Jacob and Allison welcomed in March. They sent me a picture of him wearing it on Sunday and he's a stud in it.

 Their little Olivia just turned 2 in April. I thought that these were a great gift for her. All the alphabet fit into this little drawstring bag I made for her and put her initial on it.

 And then the beast I was up working on until the day before we left! But, I got it done, and that's what counts, right? It's a Cathedral Window baby play mat. It was a lot of work, but fun to do also. It was the first one that I have made and I have a better idea as to what to do and what not to do, but I'm still proud of it.
