Next on the list?

OK, I'm on it this weekend...

Tulle skirt

Nope, my daughter doesn't really NEED another tulle skirt, but she loves them, I love them, and they're fast and easy, especially if I get my serger out and can hem it that way! Even faster!

Pics to come!

Heather Ross Summer Blouse

I love this shirt...I'm going to make a million and live in them. And I'm going to make dresses out of them and live in them. And maybe even a few sleeveless tops, or shorter sleeved. I don't know, but I do plan to find all the 1 1/2 pieces of fabric I have and sew, sew, sew!

From Weekend Sewing, by Heather Ross. Not really a book for beginners, unless you have a friend who can help you muddle through it.

Heather Ross Flower Girl Dress

Love, love, love this little dress...it whipped up so fast, and was so cute. I started it at 630, finished it at 815, and still managed to wrangle a toddler into bed during that time frame. Super easy.
My only issue? It runs SMALL! I cut out the size 4, and had to add some stretch to the sides. I could have probably just added more of the yellow, but I had the cool orange stretch, so thought I'd try it.
Ryan loved it...even just trying on the bodice, she paraded around the house wearing it like a bikini top. Which of course, got me thinking that it might just make a cute little bikini top! Or even just a summer shirt by making it shorter. It was so quick, and took so little fabric, I see this one coming up over and over in her closet this summer.

Added action shots...her smile says it best!

My Spring dress

Action shots tomorrow, but I had to at least pop a picture up tonight...I think I'm going to love this little dress...though I might try to work out a way to make it simpler next time. Those sleeves took forever! But they're cute!

Bunnies!

I am not a religious person, and I really don't understand what the resurection of Christ has to do with bunnies that bring eggs and candy to small children, but hey, I'll play along. I love spring, bunnies, chicks, and all that fun stuff! I whipped these up to bring along to the Easter dinner we're attending. one for Ryan, one for Mr. Man. Ryan loves hers...I hope X loves his as well!

This is officially on my list!

Found this board over on Soulemama today and have had something similar in my head for a while.

Some kind of centrally located, all knowing, all encompassing sort of board would be lovely. Part of that is just so we can keep track of where daddy is, what we're doing that day, and what is who's responsibility. Granted, RE is a little bit young for all this, but I think teaching responsibility early is super important. And having a visual reminder might make it easier to remember to do things like brush teeth, wash face and hands, and get dressed in the AM. Might at least make it smoother!

A few recent projects

A dress for RE to wear someday...the pattern ran a little large. I think it'll fit her when she's 10!

A dress that does fit her, and used to be a shirt of mine...

A skirt for her that used to be a skirt of mine...but, alas, it was rather short for me. Too bad for me, yay for her.
She refused to model it for me...insisted on it being something she ought to have her arms in.



A baby for new baby "B" who ought to arrive anytime after Monday, right Linds?
And a sling for big "B" to wear his baby in...
