Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

I am really excited for Sew, Mama, Sews Giveaway Day! Why? I had an extra baby blanket that I wanted to give to one of my lucky readers! It's a round ripple. And I used a variegated blue and green yarn. Honestly, I think it would be good for either a boy or a girl.

This is a close up, of the center of the blanket.

And here it is laid out. Sorry about the picture. I don't know what is wrong with our camera.

All you have to do, is leave me a comment, telling me what your favorite Christmas ornament is and why? That's it! You have until December 19th at 11:59PM PST. I'm just trying to be fair here. And I want to wish you all the best of luck. I'm so excited to start blog hopping! ~Kate the Great

Somos Novios

Raul and I really like this song. It's beautiful and emotional. We've been thinking about using it for our wedding. As in the 1st dance. But I'm not sure if it's a little too cheesy. What do you think? It's such a beautiful song! Especially when a Mariachi plays it. Oh, I'm really in love with it. I can't lie. And I'm leaning on the idea of having it as our 1st dance song. Just listen to it...and let me know what you think. ~Kate the Great

Tutu Drive 2010

Over at Samster Mommy, they're having a tutu drive. It's for a great cause! For sick kids in the hospital. I'm already making a list of materials that I need. I need to start making some tutus. This is such a great idea. You can join in too. Just whip up a tutu or 2 or 10! Or buy one and send it over. What a great cause! ~Kate the Great

Homemade Weddings

So I've been looking at lots of wedding things. Raul and I still haven't set a date. But we know, we want a smaller, more intimate wedding. Something with our families and good friends. Maybe a nice backyard wedding. Or something at our friend's Ranch.

And I want homemade stuff. My parents are going to be buying my wedding dress. But beyond that, Raul and I are paying for our wedding. With a new house, and me still being in college, our budget is going to be tight. And have you seen the price of certain wedding items? Wow!

I've been searching for homemade ideas. And I've been picking Lola's brain for something fun! She has not disappointed! She sent me these pictures yesterday. I'm not sure where she found them, but I really like this ring pillow!





Being that the cheapest one I've found is $50 (and very ugly!), I'm looking at making one. This ring pillow is something I really love! It's homemade, but still gorgeous! Well, maybe I can ask Lola nicely and she'll crochet the doily for me. :) ~Kate the Great

Pom Pom Bouquet

I've been looking for a fun bouquet idea. I'm not so sure we want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers. And I know I don't want to carry fake flowers. I liked the idea of the "Button Bouquet." But I want something a little softer. Maybe I can incorporate a few button flowers. But I really like this "Pom Pom Bouquet" from Ruffled.



It doesn't look tough to make. And I like the idea of a variety of textures. I really do! I'm thinking I can use zippers and buttons to add a little interest too! What do you think? ~Kate the Great
