AJ's Bible

I finished my very first quilt this morning. It is so very far from perfect, but AJ loves it, and I'm really happy with it for being my first. The binding was the biggest pain for me.

Bible Cover

Drew started King's Kids tonight, which meant it was time for him to have a Bible. When AJ started last December, I made a cute cover for his Bible. So, of course, I had to do the same for Drew.

I made a stupid doggy bed

I sincerely hate this thing. I REALLY hated making it. The instructions were impossible to follow, and the sewing is terrible. That said, I think it's "good enough".
