The giveaway winner and an awesome carnival


The giveaway winner came over to my house yesterday (luckily she lived in Provo!) and we got crackin' on her striped knit midi pencil skirt. And it only took 20 minutes to make...quickest  and most comfortable skirt ever! Doesn't she look darling?! If you want to make this yourself, the tutorial is here.

Last night beck and I went to my mother-in-law's stake carnival and it was seriously the best stake activity I've ever been to. It was insane. There was pony riding, a little petting zoo, bounce house heaven, a hot air ballon (CRAZY right!), delicious treats like snow cones and cotton candy, a rock climbing wall, tons of awesome old cars (including one of my favs, a 1969 camera ss - I'm a bit of a car nerd), minute to win it competitions, dunking tank, and the best part...my in-laws! It was nice to see them, I'm going to miss them so very very much. by the way, Beck has the BEST cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles ever...seriously. They are so sweet, and they play with him and make him feel loved (ok cheesy I know), I just wish Beck knew how lucky he is.  Anyway, The time has come...tomorrow morning I'm flying away to a very different and new place. Now that it is actually official I will spill the beans tomorrow. I was just worried that something was going to fall through.

  7. Cute! Thanks for the tutorial (and all your tutorials). I just moved to Provo with my husband from Arizona, so I am pretty new to everything here. Where did you usually buy fabric while you were here? Recommendations? Thanks!!!
