Marvelous Mar!

many of you know my mom Mary Ann and her never-ending talents. you might even get sick of me saying..."my mom made it"...because most of the cutest things that Collin has is a product of Mar's. she is truly amazing! i am so lucky to be a recipient of her many crafts. I just wanted to post a little tribute to her and share a small glimpse of her creativity! i love her and am so grateful for all that she does for me!

My favorite Quilt that she made for Collin...

Totally cute dress made from a vintage pillowcase

Collin's bedding that I love...

The PERFECT Blessing Dress, bracelet, and headband for my baby...

A fun diaper bag (pre-embellishments) that has been totally practical...

I just think this blanket always looks so cute on Collin...

I actually sewed most of this dress but couldn't have done it without the help of Mar...

Another super fun quilt that she surprised me with last time I was in town!

I love that blessing dress! She looks beautiful! I would love to be able to do that, just don't want to take the time to learn. Still on the countdown sister! I think I only have to hold out a couple more weeks, right? Excited to see you!

I think maybe now you should post some of Mar's Daughter's amazing canvas work......don't you sell yourself short now.....and unfortunatley I won't be coming up for Jenny's competition, that would've been so fun...she said they're televising it and they're doing the cooking contest like a game show.

I love your mom! She is the best at EVERY thing she does. I love being in the same ward as her. And she is so darn funny. She is so extremely humble about all of her many talents. Rock on Mar!
