I'm addicted and can't stop


I swear Robert is going to hurt me if I don't stop buying material for the girls everytime I go to Joann's or Walmart. I still have material for 6 or 7 more outfits.

I am my mother's daughter...

Top for Breanna

Megan's Dress

Lately I have been sewing. I am taking a quilting class and now I am starting to sew dresses and tops for the girls. I have found that it is relaxing even though I struggle on a few things here and there. I have sewed 2 other items. A dress for Breanna similar to Megan's and then an short outfit for Megan. I will post pictures later. Breanna's top was the first time I had sewed in a zipper it was a challenge at first but after watching a few You tube videos on sewing in a zipper i decided to tackle and not let the fear prevent me from finishing what I started. For only taking a class in Jr. High on sewing I have to say that I am pretty impressed with myself.  I remember all the dresses and clothes that my mom made for Christie & I and I am amazed at how easy she made it look. In fact since my Mom saved so much I still have a few of those dresses so at some the girls will have something that their grandmother made.

April Block

Family Pictures

We had Family Pictures taken in the middle of April between all these rain storms. The turn out great and I am excited to get the print for our wall. We had them taken at Murray Park by Amy English. She was fantastic with the kids.
