Mikel's Mother Advice Book

I made my first Mother's Advice book for Jo's baby shower. Made another one when Xyo had her baby shower. Guess I started something.

Here's the one I made for Mikel's baby shower.


Tell me what you think.















If anyone would like to offer her some advice, I would be happy to write it in the book for you.

(and if you have a particular page you want it written on, let me know)

Baby Gift for Xyonane and Matt

Xyonane had her baby shower last month. I will post pictures soon on my other blog!
Mikel and I made her some burp pads and a receiving blanket.

These are a new type I tried out doing. I think they turned out okay - what do you think?
They fold up pretty nicely.
These are the ones Mikel made. I got the material - and she made them.
Mikel and I work well as a team!
Burp pads on the left - blanket on the right.

Book for Xyonane

I made this book for Xyonane to have at her baby shower.
If any of you have some advice you would like me to write in it from you, please let me know.
I am sure she would appreciate all the advice she can get - after all - she will soon be a new mom! And she will be a great one!







She is having a boy - if you didn't know.
Due date is Nov. 22.
My 2nd grandchild. Hard to believe - isn't it!

Halloween Time!

In August I was asked to come up with a Halloween craft for the craft day in RS.
This is what I taught.
I actually sold me original one (someone wanted another one and I didn't have any more sets)
This one is actually the one I made for Molly for her birthday.
Mine isn't done yet. Hopefully it will be done before Halloween.

Dani's Creation

These are the gifts and card Dani gave me for Mother's Day.
She made them in Achievement Days.
Aren't they cute!
Here's a close-up of the card.
And the container.
I can use it in my craft room to hold odds and ends.
The clothes pins can hold papers together when I need it or the ones with a magnet on - will be on the fridge.
I liked them.
But then,
I'm the Achievement Day leader and came up with the ideas.
Hmm - wonder if the other mother's liked them as much as I did.
Thanks Dani for doing such a good job on my present.

Baby Gift

OK Cheryl.
I'm giving you fair warning.
If you don't want to see the baby gift
and wait and see it later this week
Now is the time to look away

Tables

Can this count as being created by me?
I was in charge of the dessert table and the candy table at Matt's wedding reception.
I bought/begged/borrowed containers, platters, etc.
The ladies in my ward were wonderful. They furnished all the desserts. They tasted as good as they looked!
Here's a picture of the dessert table. This picture got taken before it was completely done - but you get the idea of how it looked. (There were even more varities of desserts - but we couldn't put all of them out at once. Like I said - they all tasted so good!)
This is a picture of the candy table.
Theses next few pictures are ones Jo took of the candy table.
(Her pictures are a lot better than mine!)


So would you considered this as "created by Mich"?
I took a lot of time getting all the stuff -containers, platters, tablecloths, and finding a place to buy candy in big bulk.
I think it turned out pretty nice - how about you?
(If Jo has a picture of the food table after it was completed - I'll post it later!)
