Newest additions.

Well I had some free time before leaving so here are my two latest creations.


Illinois!

We're going home to Illinois for the weekend!  My parents are celebrating 30 years of marriage this weekend, so we're going to babysit for Soph.  It's a bummer that they'll be gone when we're there, but it's very exciting that they've been married 30 years!  No more crafting for me this weekend because we're going to Illinois.  So I'm ok with it.  I will be excited to come back and keep crafting!  Happy Weekend!

Robo Skirt.

Today, I feel that I've been very productive.  I've been to the auto body shop, located a new one, found a towing company that doesn't charge $500 to tow 15 miles (major plus), arranged for the car to be towed tomorrow, learned a lot about repairing cars, baked some homemade oatmeal raisin cookies (delicious, if I do say so myself), planned dinner, and made a skirt.  There are just a few more things to do today and it's tomorrow and we're headed to Illinois!  Well here's ROBO Skirt :)  I named it myself.  Pretty clever if you ask me ;)  I know I'm a dork, but I'll embrace it!
My skirt holder even stopped playing xbox for this picture!  WOW, he's a keeper :)

Lulu's Dress.

My final dress of the night.  This dress is for my friend Amanda's little girl, Lucy.  It is my favorite so far. It's just so girly!

The light pink roses I added to the hot pink tank

I think it makes it so girly!  I just love it!

The hemline stitching 
I can't wait to make more! Hopefully I'll get better at sewing through this little extravaganza.

Sophie's dress.

Well, this one was easier, I'm not sure if that means I'm getting better or  it was easier to make a larger one.  If that is the case, then I should've started by making one for myself :)

crafting 101? {I need practice}

 Well, here is my first attempt at onsie dress making.  I have no child to try them on on, we'll see how it goes when we actually attempt to put it on a child.  More to come!  Hopefully they'll get better as I go!!!  This first dress is intended for new baby Alana, but I don't know if anyone should be wearing this bad boy.  We'll see.  Maybe do a fashion try on next time I see her, and go from there. :)

My new wreath.

This is my project Fromm last night, my wreath made from little scraps of fabric. Its something new for spring.
