The Altar at St. Ferdinand

nun doll collection at St Ferdinand

We attended 1st friday Mass at St. Ferdinand church.

 

replica of the original St Ferdinand

 

 

 We kept busy making a birthday gift (top) for a BFF. And 2 baptism gifts for some special little friends.
*all crafts and sewing projects were done by bashing my stash :) no new material or supplies were bought*

 We did some rock climbing!

And some rocking out to 1D in the car :)

And of course some shopping for beautiful little girls.

 We had friends for a visit and went to the Art Museum.

And did some "trunk or treating" and fell in love with baby animals at the petting zoo.

A very happy girl that her costume for her history project is Finally done! And a very happy momma that it was done 95% by said happy girl! She did a great job.

stash bash

I did not see a new stash bash post over at Crunchy Catholic Momma so I am just linking to her last stash bash post, enjoy

The first purse is mine, from my stash. The yellow flower is from my daugters stash that she made on her own.

book marks for bible study, the ribbon and beads are from my stash, I figure how ever I can get it used up :)

This doll is for a sweet girl in Michigan,

some felt place mats and a table runner,

a cute little doll for a friends daughter

this skirt was given to us and the elastic waistband was majorly stretched out, so I replaced it with some elastic from my stash, that counts as a stash basher, right??

I hope you have a blessed weekend

Stash Bash 3/30/12

I had some help with my stash bash this week. She is making a pilgrim dress to go along with her history lesson. I have decided that with each main time period she studies we will make a costume to along with it. I easily have enough in my stash to accommodate at least through the rest of the year.

I ended up sewing around this mess all day :( I just didn't feel like clearing  it away. Mainly because there is no where to put it. I have 2 closets dedicated to my sewing stash, and 15 storage tubs in my storage unit filled with my stash. Can you say support group???

I finished this cute dress with matching hair bow to take to market over the summer. 

Same for this boy's romper. It will be for market, as soon as I get some snaps for the legs.

I am thinking about making a bunch of these in different saints. And a Jesus, Mary and Joseph. 

This is for a sweet little girl over in Michigan I know. As soon as I finish the bloomers.

Have a blessed weekend!!
And don't forget to head over to Crunchy Catholic Momma to see some more cool and fun posts on stash bashing. There are some really awesome ideas!!

Bashing my stash!!!

I'm bashing my stash!! Yay!!! This is actually something I have been wanting to do for a while, but never got the motivation to actually do. Then when I saw this 3 in 30 challenge I decided to take the plunge and made 1 of my 3, to organize the stash and dig out all my unfinished projects. I even found these cute little girls I had forgotten all about.

But then when I saw Crunchy Catholic Momma was doing this year long stash bash link up, to say I was excited doesn't cover it :)
So I organized the best I could packing away 10, 20 gallon bins of fabric. And keeping only 5 bins out to work with. As I sorted I tried to think of projects I was wanting to do, make a list of the top ones, (including the un-finished projects) and tried to match up the fabric I wanted with the list. I started with a few quick and easy projects to get me pumped up and make me feel some sort of accomplishment.

I had this little box I had gotten who knows where, with a cracked glass top, so I super glued a piece of card stock on the top to keep the glass in place, because I couldn't get it out, then mog poged this picture on top to hold a few rosaries on my dresser.

I picked this cute fabric and pattern to make a bear for a sweet little girl I know,

I found these lids and corks and pumps in a bag my grandma gave me, so I made a soap dispenser for the kitchen. I have been meaning to for a while, and I had all the supplies the whole time! I used this glass peanut butter jar I had gotten from my great grandma YEARS ago, that she had for YEARS. you cant see it but it has an elephant on it.

and lastly I mog poged a tin coffee can to use to hold things on my sewing table, I had just a scrap of this cute fabric left and wanted to do something with it so I could look at it a lot.
