He Sowed She Sewed

It’s kinda funny now that I am super slacking on my blog- lots of free goodies are coming my way.  Next up is a chance for y’all to win $1,000 in Waverly fabric and a $250 Jo-Ann gifts card.

For  now it is my turn to do the winning =)

I got two yards of fabric in the mail and here is what it looks like:

I think free fabric might be cooler than free books

Now in order to win a $100 gift card to Jo-Anns for myself I must be one of the three bloggers who comes up with the “most unique project.”  I have absolutely no idea what I am going to make yet.  Any ideas?  Is that cheating if I ask you lovely people for good ideas =)  Hope not

Maybe you need to save your excellent idea so you can win the grand prize.  So get your creative minds cranking because you will all get a chance to win from Sept 1 to Sept 22.

My project must be posted on my blog between Sept 1 and Sept 5- hopefully I can get my act together before then.  Haven’t exactly sewn anything since the little man was born.

Good luck to us all.

Summer at the moment is glorious.  The mosquitoes have lost their stronghold on the Northland and the heat has subsided to a more comfortable temperature. Time to head to a boat and get in some fishing.

Jared’s folks were in town the other day and we got to have some adventures out on their boat.

Aleah is an incredible fishergirl.  She is not afraid, intimidated or grossed out about any part of fishing.  She will even lip her fish which is unheard of in the world of five year olds.  She can cast her little Scooby Doo pole like a champ, and when she reels in a big fish, the little muscles in her arms flex with the struggle.  I had missed a few of the fishing outings when Hudson was born and was blown away by how self sufficient and incredible she has become around the fishing world.  Nice work Aleah, can you bait my hook for me please =)
