My Latest Projects

I have been sewing my little behind off as of late, but I have enjoyed every second of it!  I thought I would post a few pictures of my latest projects.  

This is a purse I made for my friend Alyssa as a thank you gift.

This is an apron I made for my friend Sarah as a thank you gift.  I thought it turned out really cute.

This is another apron I made for my friend Sarah out of a men's dress shirt.  It is super fun!

This is an Angry Bird costume I helped my sister-in-law Kelli make for her son for Halloween this year

I love to sew and can't wait to do my next project what ever that might be.  :-]

Trip to Texas!

I had the opportunity to go and visit my sister Kaci in Dallas.  I had the best time!  I miss her being close.  It has been so many years I almost don't remember what it was like when she was here.  I do know that I didn't spend enough time with her that is for sure.  My parents were visiting and Troy was also there on business for a couple of days so we got to go out to dinner all together which doesn't ever happen.  We did miss the rest of the family though!  After my parents and Troy left Kaci and I went on a shopping spree.  She wanted to show me what shopping is Texas was like.

These are the belts!  Who needs that much bling?!

 This is a bracelet and ring combo that you really can only find in Texas!  I mean seriously!   

 I had to take a picture so that everyone can see what the store looked like.  It was wall to wall fun girly stuff.  Purses, jewelry, hair stuff, scarves, you name it.

This is my cute niece and nephew. 

 We had so much fun playing tag and I got to sit by them in the car whenever we went somewhere.  They were even sad to see me go!  Is it bad for me to say that makes me happy?

This is me and Kaci.  I am so glad I got to spend some time with her!  I love that girl!

This is the kids having fun in front of the camera.

Collective Soul Concert

Yet another Baxter family "tradition" (for lack of a better word) is to see Collective Soul in concert when they come to Wendover (Click to see post of Wendover show).  This year they came to Las Vegas, so we rounded up the usual suspects and drove on down.  This is Troy and his driving face.

This is Edda, Dave and Brandy and their Troy's driving faces.  ;-]

We saw the Lions at the MGM

Before the concert we went to the M&M store and watched their 3D movie (mostly because it was air conditioned).

We saw Bumblebee

And Batman

We walked miles and miles looking around in casino's and shopping centers.  Because I was with a couple of guys (Dave and Brandy came later that night) they didn't want to drive out to the outlets so I had to miss out on that (losers!)

These are the guitars donated to the Hard Rock by Collective Soul

Collective Soul played in a venue that is general admission only so it was harder to see but not too bad

Until everyone started to get really drunk and didn't realize where it was that they were standing or better yet whom it was they were standing on,near, or in front of.

It was a great show though!
