Grandma Munns to the rescue

I had my mom here with me for nearly two weeks! And what an amazing help she was. She took care for the kids, the house, and me! What more could I ask for?! During the day, we cleaned, ran errands, cooked, and at night we gamed...our new favorite....TICKET TO RIDE. We altered the rules somewhat to speed it up and make things more interesting. Anyway, while she was here, mom sewed a few projects for me...she is the most talented seamstress I know. We are going to miss her. When she was bringing up her bags, even the boys said they didn't want her to leave.

Here is a sampling of her work.

She sewed this table cloth for our dining room table. Its kinda "country" looking, but it appealed to me. It blends nicely with the colors on the wall and the area rug in the adjacent living room.

Shower curtain she made for the basement bathroom----------She found these great cushions that she sewed together to make a bench cushion for our AMAZING church pew that my equally amazing dad found for us at an antique store. The bench is a little banged up, but that just adds to its appeal for me.

We took of some HIDEOUS sliding doors off that the previous owners had...they wouldn't even slide! then we bought a curtain rod and mom hemmed up the curtain so we could hang it as the doors to Tyler's closet. Mom also found this teal fabric at Wal-Mart...yes our wal-mart here still has a fabric section!....and made this shower curtain for the kids bathroom upstairs.

We got so much accomplished while Tyler was in Utah. He left a house in disarray....and came home to no moving boxes! I NEVER could have done it without the help of my GENEROUS parents, and hard working Leah and Shanda. They all were so eager to move onto the next project and to help out with the kids when they needed tending to. Even Jordan and my dad took turns holding babies and entertaining kids. THANK YOU THANK YOU, for helping me make this sorta disaster of a house into a home that my little family now can feel comfortable in. It really is beginning to feel like HOME!
