A Sneek Peek

This was my first attempt at making doll clothes. I went to Joann's fabric store and purchased some vintage reprint patterns for doll clothes. The pattern I chose to use was for a romper but I thought it was to plain and modified it into a swimsuit complete with ruffle on the bum. The first on I did was smaller than the other three. It is for Zoe' soft bodied Madam Alexander doll. The other three are for American Girl dolls. The first one took me almost 4 hours to make. The other three I finished in almost 3 hours. So how do I feel about the whole process? Well, it was fun and I will do it again. However it is very time consuming to make these tiny little outfits. Hopefully the little girls will all have a blast playing with these for years to come. I would do another doll clothes swap again. I will take a picture of all the finished swimsuits tonight and post it tomorrow. I am off to watch a movie. Goodnight all!

Weekend in Pictures

This is my favorite photo of the girls.

The girls ran around and around the front yard. Then they would jump through the sprinkler and run around the yard a few more times. They did this for over an hour until I had them come in the house and...........................................................................................................................

Take a warm and toasty bath. It was a super fun day. I couldn't have asked for a better day or a better weekend. We had so much fun at the pig roast, birthday party and at Carla and Davids reception. The warm and toasty bath was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Super Hero Family

"Super Hero Family" starring Brendan as: Whipper Boy! Sloan as: Kung Fu Girl. Last but certainly not least, Zoe as: Music Girl. Watch as this crime fighting family packs a wallop of fun and laughs into your evening.

HaHAHAHAAHaHaHaHAHAH

Project in Progress

Soooooooooooo I know it's been a while, but I honestly have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off around here. This has been a super busy week. I have been very tired and just can't seem to keep on task as I would like to. I am hoping to be finished up with my doll clothes by Sunday evening. We will see how it goes. There is a busy weekend planned as well. A birthday party for the girls to attend tomorrow, a pig roast for Dean and I to attend in the evening, I might be watching a little baby in the A.M. so her parents can work in the yard and then on Sunday after church my dear friend Carla is having a party to celebrate her wedding that evening. I am already tired just thinking about it. It should however be fun to see old friends and to eat good food. I will try to take pictures of all the festivities.
