One of each

Kidding and not.

After making Emily's Easter dress I threatened to make Neil and Elijah matching ties. Turns out they both thought it was a great idea. I think they are pretty neat too now that I see them done. They think I need to get more bunny fabric to make myself a skirt. I'm not so sure about that.

I'm working on some nighties for Beca and a dress for Emily from this TNT pattern. Thought you might like to see what its looking like these days.

I do some sewing.

Yesterday I left the door to my sewing room a little a jar and walked in just in time to see Emily climb into my chair and say "I do some sewing."

The jumper is inspired by some Heather Ross fabric that I really like. We called Emily princess pea before she was born bc she would kick at anything including the bed that invaded her space.

Weekend

toes

Turns out Emily is fine with getting her toe nails cut as long as I promise to paint them pink.

new things

Wed. we got a call from Elijah's teacher part way through the day bc his glasses had completely fallen apart. He Emily and I went to the mall after school to get them replaced. Hopefully these will be sturdier. As an added bonus I got to hit some end of season sales while we waited for them to be ready.

Emily likes to use the telescope as a microphone to sing twinkle twinkle at the top of her lungs.

Emily twirling in her "balrina" dress. I'm going to make her at least one more from this pattern.

snow, eggs, dress

The blue dress is a second run of the pattern I'm testing. It is really a great pattern and Emily loves both dresses so if your ever over you go Dawn you rock! I'm also loving the process of "testing" and have learned some new techniques from reading her pattern. Now if we can just get a few pretty dry days so I can get some better pictures of her in the dresses.

Elijah making his own eggs. I've just excepted that he does not care if his pj's match.

Thankfully Friday morning I went and bought a new sled to replace the one that broke during the last storm. This was more the type of NC snow that I like. Roads were fine, we went out in the morning, it was gone in time to get the kids back to school.

Oh and as a side note Neil realized that he had the resolution of my camera set lower then it needed to be and has fixed that so hopefully tomorrow's picture will be better.
