a few things the Cutlers have been up to

We have been a busy bunch with some exciting (and probably a little boring for most) things happening!

First things first...I finished my t-shirt quilt!!

I have been wanting, desiring, and nagging myself to do this for like 3 years! After much stewing, thought, and a few mess ups...its finished!!!


Go ahead...click on it...you know you want to see a bigger version!! This was a worthwhile project. I took all of mine and Brady's old BYU sweatshirts and t-shirts and made a quilt. These shirts have serious sentimental value and I really hated to see them fade and waste away. Each shirt has it's own story and memories and I'm just so pleased with it. Some of my favorite shirts (just to mention a few) are.... my intermural championship shirt from Freshman year (YEAH!!!!), mine and Brady's alumni shirts, my very first BYU shirt (bottom right), Carpenter Shop (Brady's shirt of course), and all of my little BYU Independent Study logos in the small squares.

Brady and I really love BYU and we are so glad we have this great quilt to remind us of the good memories, and show our school pride!!!


NEXT, Natalie FINALLY got a crib!!!!

After a year of sleeping in the pack and play, Natalie is finally in a bed!!


We are oh-so-very-pleased!! She LOVES it too!

FINALLY, Just some pictures.

Natalie's first time having spaghetti....can anyone say "royal mess"? She loved it!!

Natalie still loves the Piano and her leopard print jacket :)

In early December we took a Sheffield Cider business trip to Seattle. It was a lot of fun! Next time, we'll leave the kid at home ;) Just kidding Natalie, we love you.

PS. a year later... I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight! HA!

That is a beautiful quilt! And it's not some beginner tie quilt. That is intense! I made the pic bigger and am thoroughly impressed!
Congrats to Nat for being in a bed! She had better like the piano, she's supposed to be a concert pianist with those long fingers, remember? :)
