Baptisim Dress (check)

I finished on of my last project for the next 7 weeks. I had foot surgery on Friday, and every thing went really good, except recovery took me a little longer this time for some reason I had a hard time breathing so kept having to keep me on oxygen and finally around 5:00 I was able to go home, and have been doing good.




Well my project last week was this Baptism dress that I made for my niece Aleena, she is getting Baptized in a few weeks. I had a loved making this dress for her, I was so excited to make a dress for such a special occasion and for such a sweet girl. And on Wednesday we went out and took pictures, we had allot of fun! and I do have to say that my niece is sooo Gorgeous! I'm really looking forward to her Baptism.
Anyway I will try to keep up on the post, I'm not really coherent when I have had all my pain meds.

Easter Dresses (Check)

Well we had a great Easter, Lots of Candy and fun! And yes lots of sewing! this year I made a total of 4 Easter dresses, 2 were for my closest friends girls Randa and Katrina I don't have any photos of those dress as soon as I do I will post them. And then next 2 were for (of-course) Makenna and Julia. And this I wasn't as prepared as I like to be, Makenna's dress I finished in time. Julia's Required 48 hours of no sleep! in the end they turned out so Cute! And my boys were so handsome! You will love the photo of them together, that is as much time as Noah will allow for photo's.





Anyway we had a great Easter! The kids loved hunting for Easter Eggs and of course the baskets full of CANDY! I think Elijah toasted his whole basket in the first day!
Lots of Love!

So I have had so many project going on in the last week! First project was to re-decorate my girls room. They were in need of some change and so was I. Any was I did for a surprise they had no idea what I was doing. So I forgot to take before pictures, but I managed to find some older photos of how the room use to look. There not they great of picture of the room, it gives a good idea of how the room use to look.


And after hours of painting sanding and about 30 cans of spray paint, this is the finished product. And the girls absolutely loved it! they love being in their room. I wanted to use lots of bright colors and just make it allot of FUN! I loved how it turned out.

Lots of Stuff!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. Kids keep me pretty busy these days. I will try and catch you up with out writing a novel. I have been sewing like crazy! its something that I truly enjoy and it helps me keep my sanity. And to go along with all the sewing is my new sewing machine! Finally a Bernina Arora 430 has graced my desk! and I absolutely love it.

And a few of the projects I've worked on were these jackets for my girls, I found this houndstooth fabric for $2 a yard! and I love houndtooth.


Another exciting event for me was I went to Florida for a whole week with no kids! I went to visit one of my very BEST Friends! I had a great time! and I read some books, yes I will say it again I actually read some books. I finally started on the Twilght series I finished the first 3! I don't want to start on Breaking Dawn until after Easter. And a bonus for going to Florida I found these gorgeous Sandals that I love! I had such a great time, It was so nice to relax, go to beach (I got FRIED, came home looking like a lobster).

Sorry I will try and keep up on the postings, I have alot to do this week! 4 Eater dresses to make, and a Bedroom to re-decorate! And to get ready for Foot surgery #2 on the 24th. So yeah lots to do and so little time.
