BUSTER WILSON

aw buster, i would not have survived the summer without you. here are just a few of the reasons why i love you:
1. you get me out of bed in the morning!
2. you always give me something to do, like cleaning up your messes...

3. you make me get a whole lot of exercise! walks, runs, and roller blading every day!

4. you take me places to meet new friends! i've met so many new friends going to the dog parks every day.

5. you make me smile. every time i walk in the door, whether i've been gone for four seconds or four hours, you are always happy to see me!


i love you baby buster!!

fun fabric flowers!

Step one: Pick up to six fabrics that look good together. I usually only use one or two fabrics.

Step two: Use the bottom of a glass to make a circle pattern. I make three different sizes...
Step Three: Use one of the patterns to cut out six circles...
Step Four: Fold the circles in half and iron themStep Five: Fold the half circles in half again and iron so you have six quarter circles.
Step Six: Tie a knot at the end of some regular sewing thread and sew three stitches on each "petal". Use the same string for all six petals so they are all connected.
Step Seven: When all the petals are sewn together, scrunch them all up and shape them into a circle. With the same thread, stitch the two ends together so the circle shape will stay together.Step eight is to sew a hair clip to a small piece of felt and hot glue it to the back of the flower.
Step Nine: Pick out a cute button that is big enough to cover the middle of the flower and hot glue it on!
