Summer Dresses

So I have found my new addiction. Simply dresses for my favorite little girl. This dress is from one of the patterns I purchased a couple of weeks ago. I changed some things around with the pattern and this is what I came up with. The dress and the headband took me about one hour to make. It was really easy to make. If any one is interested I will post the pattern.

Happy Place on Earth

We had so much fun at Disneyland. The kids were on their best behavior which made the day very pleasant. We went with my Dad, Step mom, Sis Natalie, and Sis Kayla. Ezra meet Buz and it was the highlight of the day for him. I love that a place that made me so happy as a kid makes my kids just as happy.

Dishtowel

I have been so focused on baby showers lately that when my husband and I were invited to a wedding I didn't know what to give. Here is what I decided to make
A dishtowel!! It is fun and unique both of what I love. Throw in some cute green mixing bowls, a silicone spoon from Crate and Barrel and for next to nothing you have a fun and unique wedding gift.

Why I Sew

On my day away from the kids I stopped by Joanna's fabric. I never get to sit down and look through the patterns and to my happy surprise they were 99 cents. I found this great pattern for a top, bought some fabric and went home to make something for my daughter. I added some of the fun vintage fabric and with a total of $3.00 Leah had a new dress and headband for church. Now for the reason why I sew. After I finished her dress she came to me with a little note thanking me. That makes all the hours I spend sewing so worth it.

Thank You!

For teacher appreciation day the kids and I decided to make jars full of candy and then write one of those cheesy sayings to go along with it. They were so excited to go to school and give them to their fabulous teachers. Noticed that Noah made me change the "Love," to "From,". Crazy kid.

I'm Back

I have recommitted myself to the blogging world. It has been one of those things (like alot in my life) that I swear I am going to do later and later now has become 5months. So lets start with the present.
One of my favorite things to do is to throw a baby shower. I love the fact that I am not the one pregnant and that a new little one will be arriving soon. My other favorite things are birds. I have been having so much fun making them and these little ones are so easy and fun to make (here is the pattern). I decided to combine the two for my friend Mindy. Wonderful food and good friends always make for a great time.

Raining Saturday

What to do with the kids on a raining Saturday. Go to the Ruehben H. Fleet Science Center down in Balboa Park. We went with some friends and had a blast. Almost 5 hours worth of fun.
