Randomness of 2015

It is still so hard to believe that we are to 2015. In one more year, I will have been graduated from high school for 10 years. CRAZY! I have been getting back into a routine of things now that the holidays are over. I have been working at Ipaco (as one of my roommates and cousins said, "the dude store") and then also Embroidery Central. As I got in my car the other day, I looked at the parking lot at Ipaco and was reminded of my roommate telling me that if the cars in the lot were trucks and motorcycles, it was a dude store.
I have also been watching Carson in the afternoons, cleaning Ipaco once a week and then I have been watching my friends' little girl once a week for a couple of hours. Then of course there is my Etsy shop. It was hopping the first bit of January and then slowed down for a week or so, but it has been picking back up. I have also been hoping to get some more people involved in Heritage Makers. I am getting more comfortable with my new calling and I would say that I'm even beginning to enjoy it. The kids really keep me on my toes though! I'm sadly out of shape since doing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes as fast as we could with the little ones (I was also in heels) made me sore for a couple of days! I have found some projects that I have made with Heritage Makers for primary! I made this for my binder and I also made these cute inserts for these  plastic small paint cans that I got to use for some things.
I did get a Plinko board to use for primary and both Carson and my friends' little one love to play with it! And even though it isn't Christmas anymore, so is the Christmas hippo that sings "I Wanna Hippopotamus for Christmas". 
We got a couple of new employees at Ipaco at the beginning of the year and one has decided that he needs to suck up to me, so a few times I have got to work and found this on my desk. It always makes me chuckle.
I'm getting super excited to go to Arizona to see Heather. She sent me a picture of Carter this week and I miss him so much! 
I am also trying to nail down when I am going to go visit Kayla in St. George, but I am hoping to go spend some time with my friends before the newest nephew arrives sometime in May. 

I also came across this awesome rose and I just think it is stunning! I found some time to cover these wood rabbits I got a while ago with fabric last weekend, while my friend was here using my sewing machine to do a quilt.


I finished a couple of custom blankets and a carseat cover for my friend too. I think they turned out adorable!

Heritage Makers + Cutesie Bee + Babysitter Extraordinaire + IPaco + Awesome Primary Chorister + Don't you help an Embroidery Shop with stuff too?!?! I don't know how you do it all!! That primary stuff looks so cute and fun- can't wait to see some of it in action :) That rose picture is awesome- must be lit with artificial light? Your dad could probably figure out how to do it! Maybe he took it? Cute rabbits and baby stuff!!

I have to keep busy and at least for the most part they are things that I enjoy! I have no idea about the rose being artificial or just the way it is lit, but I LOVE it! Dad didn't take that one though. Thanks so much Kaela!
