fun

Another green w/ white polka dots tie (the first one got lost).

A space tie from the material that Todd picked out himself.

I found a feed bag at the flea market for $1 awhile back and just turned it into a bag... so now I have a feed bag... bag. I LOVE it. It is just such fun.

My Break...

I finished appliqueing the circles onto the current quilt I'm working on and needed a break. So... for a break I had fun making a tutu for Kate.

Just ignore the messy house and her diaper sticking out. I took some black satin ribbon and folded it over the edges to cover the chopped up tulle edges. I am loving it!

Also, I only had some white elastic, and did not want to go anywhere today, so I found a black laundry marker and colored the white elastic band.

Doll Wonderland

I have three dolls finished now. One for a preggo girly. One for a birthday girly. One for a Christmas girly.

A Folk Girl

Reminds me a little of Madeline for some reason.

A girly girl.

Halloween Costumes

Todd wanted to be a ghost for Halloween, so we got a sheet and chopped it up for him. His requirement was to have circle eye holes. His inspiration was the Ghost of the Forest book with the Berenstain Bears.

Since Todd was going to be something classic I wanted Kate to be something classic too. So she got to be Red Riding Hood. I am going to have her wear her green corduroy jumper under her hood and her cute black mary janes.

I found this sweet website from Angry Chicken's blog. All you do is type in what you want and you make your own practice worksheet.

Green Corduroy Jumper

Just in time for Fall, I took a green corduroy skirt that was a bit too big for me and made a jumper for Kate out of it. I lined it with some really cool material that has snails and toadstools on it.

Runner

It was about time that I posted pictures of the patriotic runner that I won from a giveaway awhile back. It is really neat and works great on my new black table. I will be posting pics of my new black table and chairs once we get back from staying at the hotel with Josh for his business trip. I finally put the last coat of sealant on right before we left and it is 'curing' while we are gone. I am so excited to be able to have family meals together around the table again soon.
