Scrapbooks

I didnt have much for this week but i wanted to put something up anyway since i had a bit of time. This is the scrapbook my husbands aunt made me when i gave birth to my first son Jude. Gosh im so in love with talent. It doesnt have to just be my favorite (yarn/crochet) it can be anything crafty or

homemade. 

Page two awwww <3

  Here is page three and four, Just a couple of pictures of  us but im more impressed with the second page. Jude is on a little tab that you can pull in and out of the sleve.

 Pictures of me and Jude while in the hospital

Snuggling up on the bed, and im so MAD at myself cause as you can tell that second page there has a picture missing. I used to keep this scrapbook out on top of the bookshelf for anyone visiting to look at it but i found Jude rumaging through it and since then havent been able to find that picture. It hasnt been on the book shelf since. I almost didnt want to put the scrapbook up cause i was emberrased of this but oh well :) I love it.

 My big eared boy, lol i love his so much. He gets those ears from his daddy not me;)

 Sleeping, lol look how he's sleeping, almost looks uncomfortable

 Getting a little bigger here, this is him 1 month old... (i think)

 The end as Jude would say...

Yes i know i didnt forget its still the month of October, such a awesome and festive month... im thinking about putting up some halloween decorations outside, nothing too fancy maybe just  some fake spider webs. How about tomorrow!!!! We will see. SO do you like the pumpkins, i tried out a new pattern that another blogger posted and fell in love, it kinda looks knit to me. Ive always wanted to learn how to knit. I learned a bit back in high school but it never stuck. maybe one day that too. Ok whew enough babbling. Here is a link to that pattern Pumpkins , and also a link to my favorite bloggers blog . I know you would just enjoy her and be so inspired. Alright see yall folks later...

I may or may not be OBSESSED with pumpkins

 Arnt these adorable? I call them pumpkins!! All i did was cut a square piece of cloth stuffed some polyester fiber inside and grabbed some yarn twirled it around the top to make a stem. NO SEWING required! Got the idea from a blogger who she got from pinterest. The one i saw was for sewing so i kinda did my own thing. Added som google eyed, bows and pretties!!

 The three best friends

 Look at the sweet bow and little jewles.

 Pumpkins!!!! the last two i already posted in a previous blog but just couldnt help myself... the first one i got from a blogger who she got from this site.... have fun http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/pumpkin/

 And would ya just look at these. i made these two for my sister, arnt they  beautiful pumkins

 one of my favorites, it has a rope for a stem, completely cool, you can make up so many of these using random things.

 Princess pumpkin. i made this one smaller and put a silver sparkle bow on it to make it a princess. The boy fell off my headband so i thought i would recycle. This one goes to my sister as well.

 Ahhh finally finished. Made a hexagon blanket for my now 3 month old James. He loves it. look in a previous blog to find the pattern.

 Beautiful

 I have been trying new crafts lately. Wes decided to buy A BUNCH of magazines that we dont read lol. I decided instead of throwing them out to recycle  :) Made A coaster.

 I was only trying the craft out thats why i only made one... but its ok cause i had more in mind....

 Waaaalaaaaaaaa. Isnt it a beaut? Just a bunch of rolled up magazine pages glued together to make a picture frame, my beautiful babies in the middle.

 And some homemade cards i got. gosh people are so talented. the back two were drawn in prisons, and the heart... well it was made by one of my coworkers lol I really love the teddy bear one. I dont think you can tell in the picture but its a pop out. so crafty... and in prison too!

Well well well i think life has been busy. See you next time from the Maynards!!!!

Peacock

 Peacock beanie :) I had a friend ask if i could make her one to get ready for the winter. Not that winter in Texas is going to really cold anyway! She wanted it in peacock colors, i think i got pretty close.

 Side view, of course you can see the wreath in the background <3.

 I finally got around to painting James's letters. I decided to go with stripes since i did Judes in polka dots. hmm i think they turned out really good. They are now hanging right above his crib.

 Yee haw, Judes grandpa suprised him with this the other day. And he just lovesssssssss it! oh AND it is hand made, perfect for this blog. He bought it back in our home town. A big ol country town from a lady who makes them. And look it even has yarn for the mane. ahhh im just so much in aww at this. people have so much talent.
