sew-n-tell friday

Hey everyone! So last weekend was kinda crazy so I didn't have time to do any posting. My sister Graduated Highschool, and it was my birthday and fathers day!!! (I turned 22....yikes!!) So for my sisters graduation I  got her some esentials for living at college....Oh...She is going to SNHU in Manchester NH, and studying Cullinary Arts! (baking specificly...I think..) Anyways... I got her plates, cups, bowls, a pot, some awesome silverware with an A engraved on them (her name is Ashleigh). I also made her a cork board, and a crayon roll. The crayon roll is what i would like to share with you. It was really fun to make and I think im going to make some to sell at craft fairs this summer. Here are some pictures:







I tried to match up the color crayons with  the colors of the peace signs. She really liked it and everyonwe at the party did too!

so a side note...you know how i graduated college a few weeks ago...well i went with my sister to her orientation at her school, (my mom couldn't make it)..and i jut have to say I WANT TO GO BACK! i want to be in school still, i want to not worry about finding a full time job, i want to have roomates and a dorm...i am envious, and my boyfriend has 2 more years too..its going to be a sad couple years for me...

Anyways thats my rant. I hope you guys like it! Make sure to check out Amy's blog for other awesome finishes!

Peace & Love J-me

You are such a great sister for making all those things for her and helping her out in orientation. I've been wanting to make one of those crayon holders. Yours look great and does match the colored peace signs.
