So, head on over to Sherbet Blossom and check out my post :)
So, I sew all the time for my daughter, but feel bad because my son kinda misses out! So, I ask him about 2x a week if he wants me to make him something - he usually says no. However, yesterday he said YES!! He told me he wanted a CAPE!!!
I thought, really?!?! But, ok...
Here is another in a LONG series of skirts for my baby girl! She refuses to wear pants (really....REFUSES!) so I make her about a billion dresses....and she loves them all. This one's pleated different, and that's why I like it :).
My super cute sister sent me this AWESOME apron!! I like to wear it when I'm sewing so that I don't get threads all over my clothes. My kids also think that it's the funnest toy ever :)
Most sewing and crafting I do is not for me, but for others. However, I got in the mood yesterday and decided that I needed a new skirt. I have a great reason....my sister's best friend from when we lived in Hawaii is getting married in 8 days (yeah, tuck!) and I decided that I needed a new skirt....so I got to sewing...
I used the pattern that I got from Joel Dewberry and some fabric that my mom got me in Hawaii...and got to it! It came together in just a few hours. I had to do some adding and adjusting for length, but I think it's totally worth it. All I have left to do is add an eye-hook at the top and then wa-la!!
The other day I received an e-mail from Laurie Dewberry asking me if I was willing to do some more pattern testing! I would have to be on something to say no, right?!?!?!
The pattern was for a bag and a super cute one at that. It was different from any that I had made before so I was very excited to get started! I got everything all pinned and cut and ready to go when I realized that I didn't have enough cording for some pieces. Darn it! So, I had to postpone finishing until this morning when I could get to the store.
But, it is now finished and it is AWESOME!! 
My 2 year old calls it, "MY pretty!" and carries it around the house. Every time I take it away from her, she sneaks it back. I guess that's a good sign!
My son has been working hard on his garden... He has the most gorgeous flowers growing in the world. He does it all himself too. He waters them every day, and I can't believe how beautiful they are. Makes me sad because my grass is busy dying while his flowers are THRIVING!! Guess I'll let him work on the lawn, too....
I have also been working on this super fun project. I got tired of binding placemats and started working on something else... It still has a super long way to go, but it's super fun, and I like being able to see my progress... It still needs some words, and embellishments to make it complete...
