greens

green beans and lettuce from my very own garden.

and the two colors that I'm working with right now (although I'd like to point out I'm not using them on the same project.

sew what!

It's a sew along at Sew Mama Sew... just in time because I just finished this...
I used an old pair of pants to make the waistband and just sewed the fabric right to it. Not a bad idea and a good way to reuse something that had seen it's last days long ago. I must admit that this picture is not very flattering, but I'm ok with that... as long as you are. Another thing I'll admit - I wore it to work and got many compliments so it can't look all that bad on me. Plus size chics are cute too!!

I'm starting another one right away!!

And on the kid front...
aah, ice cream

where the hell have you been?

right here, thank you.

addicted

need I say more. Same pattern in shirt form. Omitted the bottom band and just hemmed. She loves it and so do I. She might have a whole wardrober of these before summer is done.

the caroline dress

The Caroline Dress from Frog Legs and Ponytails.

LOVE IT! Took a class at the Crafty Planet. I pretty much knew what I was doing but it was fun to take the class. i did learn some new stuff ad the teacher, Maclore, was really great.

Emma loves the dress, so I guess I can't wait to make a ton more for her!!

And because it has been awhile since I was here, I leave you with a snapshot from our camping trip a few weeks ago!!

have a great day!

monday's suck...

Or lick, as the case may be. Spent the evening in the emergency room... second kid with stitches. he was very brave and I was very proud of him.

On the happy side, I will have a very fun finished object to post this week... It's blocking as I type.

Have a great week!

sunday isn't for resting anymore

Here is a little photo blog of my Sunday...





and finally we got our lettuce and broccoli in the ground and hopefully it wont be too long until we can get the rest in there too.

Happy gardening.
