Boy, it's been awhile since I've posted. We started building a house in June of 2015, and moved in over Thanksgiving break. The bonus room over the garage is my sewing/craft room, but it wasn't until this summer that I got it organized (somewhat - it still needs some detailed organization) and could even begin working up there. Then the AC unit went on the fritz, and I sewed in some extreme heat for a few days. Mostly working on a Roman shade for our bathroom. Here's the kitchen one I made last winter:
I found this door pocket at Hobby Lobby, and tried my hand at making a summer door arrangement.
And here's the one I finished this summer:
We've also been doing some yard work this spring and summer. The yard was a blank slate.
Crape Myrtles along the driveway. I just can't wait to see them grown up and blooming.
Begonias and rose bushes I planted as soon as the weather warmed up. I wish I had taken the time to put down landscaping cloth first - the weeds have been terrible!
We also put porch rail on one side to finish the porch. The stair rail is still waiting to be finished.

I've been having lots of fun with the mantel -- I've been wanting one for decades!
My nephew's wife is due with her 3rd child in September, and requested some Mickey Mouse booties. I found the pattern and tried my hand at it. I thought they were cute, so I made the hat, diaper cover and yellow booties too.
