MIA?

So I know I haven't posted in a little while...But I promise I have been doing a LOT!  Made a couple skirt and shirt combos for some friends, as well as several hair barrettes.  On top of that I have made the boys a few shirts. I am all about my boys ;-) Plus I signed up for The Pampered Chef and have been busy getting that going...

We are currently without water as my dumb dog broke the pipe going into our house...anyone want a sweet husky? So we have eaten the last several meals out and I have had my fill...But it should be fixed tomorrow. 

Tomorrow, tomorrow is also the Welcome to America party for that cute little china doll! I have had the pleasure of watching her some in the nursey on Wednesday nights and she really is a sweet little thing :-) I have made a precious little outfit for her and I found a really great book called Waiting for May.  It was just a fluke that I even found it too! I was at the grocery store picking up some last minute things for dinner one night and beside the checkout line was a bin of books on discount so I was getting a few for my oldest boy when I picked this one up! I thought it was a wonderful find! So I am excited and will post pictures of the outfit tomorrow...

But I can't leave you with out posting a few pictures right....so I will post a few of the shirts I made my boys!

Weekend in review

I have been looking at girl patterns and fun things I could make for that cute little China doll I had told you all about and couldn't really decide on anything.  So, this weekend I decided to practice and make something for my cousin's little girl. It was her fourth birthday.  This is what I put together: One frilly little skirt (pattern from Dana Made It), shirt with matching applique and embroidered name, matching hair barrette...Cute is it not?!

Here are a few close ups...

I just love this skirt pattern! Thank you for sharing! I plan on making more of these...maybe a few for myself as well. I think just below the knee would be a  great lenght too! Don't you? I did make a change or two...I used 1 inch elastic instead of 2 inch. I did this mainly for personal preference...When I make mine I think it will be more comfortable as I wear my waist at my hip. If you would like to make one and post picks please do. I would love to see your creations too. Want/need help? Let me know.
