Pumpkin Patch

Avery's first pumpkin patch... She had a blast! Really, she loved hugging all of the big pumpkins and of course wanted to eat all of the little ones. We got one of each color (gray, white, stripped, and orange), some small ones for around the house, and one to carve for Holloween.

I am so ready for the holiday season this year!! :)

Dad even had fun picking out the best carving pumpkin, lol ;) :

Mini Cosmetic Bag

I made this one yesterday to go with my large makeup bag. This one is going to hold all of my lipglosses, chapsticks, travel powder, etc that I keep in my purse. I made this one 5x5x5, a perfect cube. The large one (I forgot to mention) is 5" wide x 8.5" long x 4.75" high.

P.S. I do want to brag and say that I didn't use a pattern for either one of these ;). Since they were just rectangles it was pretty easy to do the math to figure out the dimensions of the blocks (with seam allowances).

Oh Ya!

I forgot to say a few things on Avery's 8 month post. As much as this post is for me to share things with my readers, it is even more for me as a "journal". Ive been keeping a scrapbook of Avery's first year that I use these posts for, so I like to include everything I can think of.
Anyways, I added them in red below....
