{about us}

after having a baby and finishing school my hubby and i finally feel like life is starting! we struggle with just about everything but we are happily figuring things out as we go. the purpose of this blog is threefold, first to update our family and friends about what we're up to, second to show off and share my discoveries and accomplishments as a homemaker and most importantly to brag about that Lincoln boy! in turn there are two requirements for you to partake of this blog, leave comments so i know my effort has a purpose and of course, ENJOY!

Christmas presents

Similar to last year, i made some gifts for matt's family for our gift exchange.
This taggie block and blanket went to our neice little Kairi with a pack of link-a-doos. I got the idea and instructions from here. It just might be one of the greatest things i've ever made!!
Last year i made Matt's mom and sisters some sweet purses. I had the WORST time coming up with something i could make them this year. And basically i had no luck so why not just do another bag?? this time with their initial. They turned out pretty good!
and of course since i'm a brat i made one for myself. i'm really starting to hate the way my letter turned out. lower case l's look like i's, and i just made this one too big. doesn't look nearly as good as the others! Oh well, it's still cute! Oh and heres the instructions for these too.
