Flapper

I knitted this flapper hat for Emily last week.  I have to thank Cherstin though because without her I would have to pay for it, but she was able to tell me the stitches instead.  Ruby is supposed to get a matching one, but maybe not since making the flower gave me fits and I am a little OCD.

Crafty

I have been a little craft lately. Usually I don't attempt things by myself, as is the case with the first two crafts. The countdown blocks are my project for our "Christmas in July" Relief Society meeting, so I needed to have them made for display in June. I found the directions here.

This chore chart I found here and my awesome friend Rachel did one on her craft blog so Kristal and Elissa and I attempted them. The idea is that you have these chore magnets put on the persons sheet and when they complete them they move the magnets off. I was going to just leave one blank for the kids to move their magnets on, but then I decide Mike and I needed a spot for our chores too. I also bought more sheets, so on the off chance we have more kids I can make another board with 4 spots.

Then for this craft. It is a bill sorter. I found it here. I didn't do mine exactly the way she did, but it works perfect for our space. I hate going downstairs to do our bills, and I hated having the mess upstairs on the fridge. The pockets are for: Bills, To be Filed, and Action required. This is going to be handy and way more tidy.

Skirt

Two weekends ago I went to Joann's with a friend to buy some fabric to make bow boards. While we were there I bought some fabric to make a skirt for me. I was proud of myself, cause it only took me about an hour and a half to make it. It isn't the most professional looking but I like it. The picture of me is a little weird because Emily was the photographer.
