A new Fav. Song!!

I have a new favorite song. If you know me at all you know that music is just a part of who I am. A friend of mine told me of this song by Brandon Heath. It is called Give me your eyes. If you get a chance you need to here it. Very good song! It is taking about asking the Lord to give him Gods eyes to see people the way the God sees the people. This is a prayer that I am going to be praying for myself.you know there are a lot of lost and hurting, and unhappy people out there that just need Jesus in their hearts. anyway my friend also told me of another song by Casting crowns that is really good as well called Slow Fade. worth listening to.
Well I am off to my baby shower today so chat with ya later!

Here is the link to Brandon Heaths song:

New Jammers For Coral!!

I just love to have comfortable P.J's. Today I made Coral some new ones. She loved them as much as I did. and it thy were very easy to make. From start to finish it took about half an hour. They have draw string bottoms and a slip over top.


She sure looks yummy in them as the pattern is all watermelons!
She just loves to be able to move freely in her cloths and these Jammers allow that. Which is a must with a almost 2 year old.

What can i say she is sooooo cute! Even if there were no P.J's.
Aloha!

What Have I Been Up To?

Well this is what I am looking like these days. I am now 34 weeks along and still trying to keep up with everyday life along with getting ready for the holidays! Can I just say that I am very tired? Anyway I wanted to share some of the things that have kept me from having time to get on here and keep in touch. Here it goes:
Here is what my kitchen table is looking like lately, My kids are missing dinners at the table we have resorted to eating in the living room for this short time!
So here are a couple of sets of pot holders and kitchen towels that I have been working with my girls to make for Christmas gifts. This is so easy and fun to do, I am even teaching my sewing class how to make them. I have Randi over at I Have To say for this crafty set, she has tutorial on her site on how to make these. You should check it out.( Hey Randi the same towels are almost $4.00 for the two here in Hawaii, can you believe it?)
I also found these great aprons on Randi's site. So easy and great to go with the pot holders and towels!

This is a baby blanket that I finished today for a friend whose baby shower is tomorrow! I hope she likes it!And last but not least I made these rolls today as a test run for Thanksgiving dinner. They turned out great! About half of them were already gone before I could get this picture!
So I would say that was not bad for one days work, I can't really believe I got done what I did today, but not to many more days before Christmas and not to mention I will have another baby here very soon!!!! YEA!!!
What have you been up to for the Holiday's, Any great gift Ideas?
Aloha!

Baby room is almost done!!

So here it is we finished painting and hanging the boarder in the baby/guest room this last weekend. Wayne put the crib in the room and the guest bed He also painted an older dresser we had and now it is a cute nursery!

The picture is a little off center but you get the idea! This is the first room in our home that I have decorated so far and I am excited about it. I think it is very cute and very Girly!
Now we just need to clean the room and do a few finishing touches and we are ready for baby!
Aloha!


Sewing Class Starts Today!



Well today I will be teaching 4 girls how to sew! I don't really think of myself as a great teacher, but i like to sew and I can show them how to do the basic stuff. I think it will be fun. It is important to show our young ladies the things that might be helpful when they are married and have families themselves. Plus it is a great skill to have. Not to mention the time spent with friends doing something productive.

What have you tought someone else lately? Do you have a skill you like to share with others?

ALOHA!

Jars and Jars of Pumpkin Butter!

I did it! I made pumpkin butter, My Inspired Heart made a comment on my blog when I made apple butter about doing this so I gave it a try. I was so easy and the butter tastes sooooo good!
I'm glad I tried it. I am going to have to make more to freeze because all of these jars are going other places, and getting eaten! It was so easy to make I wont mind doing it again very soon.

Have a great day
ALOHA!

I made an apron!

I got this pattern from Randi over at i have to say. It is a Grand Revival pattern that I bought from Randis Esty store. I didn't have any bias tape so I made it without since I can't just run to the store because that would require a 1 1/2 hour drive. but despite that little hold up I think it turned out quite nice! I hope to be making more of these Hawaiian ones and put them in my etsy store, sarahsinHawaii



We shall see!

Aloha!
