Wow! It's been a long time

Not sure if anyone has noticed but i have not been around at all. I haven't been to blogs, message boards, facebook, nothing. I have no desire. There is alot of things going on in my personal life and like the old saying goes when it rains it pours. Once everything straightens itself out I will be around more (i think).

I haven't scrapped in over a month and that i am not liking but when you're not feeling it ya just not feeling it....instead i have made my hands busy with other things such as hair bow making and sewing. My mom came over to keep me company one day and spent the night with me and she brought her machine and I had mine so we went to town on making some clothes. It was fun. I forgot how much I like to sew (not that i did a whole heck of alot but i can find my way around...lol) I cannot read patterns though i have to look at the pics...those pattern directions suck.

Anyway this is what mom and i have been doing

This one I am going to monogram a Big M on the front in hot pink. She will love that.
This was a pillowcase i got from big lots for a few bucks and it is 600 thread count and feels soooo good so i whipped this out in a matter of about 15 minutes
This is my most favorite fabric...of course right...i know you wouldn't have guessed that. The fabulous K-Liz made my apron out of this fabric. Remember that apron? Check a few post back if you don't and wanna see. Anyway so i decided to make this "pillowcase" style dress into a shirt and put pantaloons with it...eeekkk she is so cute in it...see look...
see that foot sticking out...she is sassy isn't she? {deep sigh}

This one is sooo precious on her too...it has all kinds of good things in the fabric such as stars, flowers, crocs, frogs, peace signs ect....Mom did this one

this one has capri's that go with it...see them at the bottom.
This is pants with a ruffle.
I did this one based on the one mom did below only i made the flowered print one a shirt and matched it with the pantaloons i made. This is what she took her spring pics in..can't wait to get the back.




The 4 above mom also did those. See i told ya we have been sewing fools. And we are not done. She is going to be the cutest dressed kid in kindergarten. All her school shopping is done. I went to dillard's and racked up on stuff that was on sale. 750.00 worth for 105.00. Not bad if i do say so myself.

This is lana's bow holder. This was a prototype i made out of some leftover scraps of fabric. I didn't have enough tulle so the tulle is very scarce and short but the next one i make it will look like a long ball gown with the tulle. They are so cute.
I will monogram this too.


That is some of the bows I have made in the last few weeks. She will have a bow to match every outfit when i am done. LOL. I am thinking I will be putting some of this in my etsy shop in the future so if you are interested lemme know.

This is a pic of me and lana at the crawfish festival taking a break in the shade.
Props to Mason for the fab pic. LOL

And last but not least the fabulous Tessa Ann Watte sent me some of her killa buttons to play with. I cannot wait to put those on hairbows or even a piece of melana's clothing. And she sent me the CUTEST felt skully and I CANNOT wait to make a pin or something with it....eeekkkk... check out her etsy...her stuff is FABULOUS!!

Peace out!
