Finished Project Friday: M's New Outfit

Image
By

 I finally bought some Red Letter Day fabric!  I've been eyeing it for months now, just waiting for the right time to buy some ... and the right project.  A couple of week ago, one of the quilt stores around here was having their "Christmas in July" sale ... 30% off the entire store.  I figured it was the right time to get some Red Letter Day. 


And, who better to use the fabric on, than my little miss?  I just love the patterns for this dress and pants outfit.  So easy, and usually so quick to make ... that is, if you buy enough fabric.  I didn't realize how much I would need, so I spent a lot of time measuring and doing mental math to make sure I cut it just right.  And, I literally do not have a scrap left over!  Oh well, she looks adorable, and I'll get to see her wear this for a few months.  I can't wait to make her another outfit like this one ... maybe for Christmas this time.


I took her outside to take her pictures.  She sat down in this dining chair and all of a sudden!  There was a pigeon on the lawn!  She had to shoo it away.

This was her scary noise/face she made to scare away the pigeon ... I'm sure it worked!

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
