Yarn Along

I missed the yarn along on Wednesday but I still wanted to show off what I’ve been working on this week….

Christmas ornaments. Yes you read that right they are for a friend who requested 12 back in December & I’m finally getting around to finishing them up. They are super fun, quick, & easy.

As for the book I’m reading I’m still working through Rob Bells book with my hubby, but I also started One Thousand Gifts.by Ann Voskamp. My goodness am I loving it! Such good words for the soul, & man is my journal filling up fast. Seriously go read it!

What are you working on or reading this week?

I’m around

I promise i am around even though my blog has been quiet. Its just been one of those seasons. One will extra time spent holding babies who don’t know what they need. One filled with a messy house because you don’t have time to clean. One spent away from sewing machine but arms deep in laundry and toys. But this week i got a break, i got 2 days while my oldest was at grandma’s to complete some projects on my growing to do list.  So ahead to come this weekend when i can sit down and write it all up is a car seat cover, training pants, swaddle bankets, a crafternoon, and some other projects lost in this season i’m in.

I’m still here

Just wanted to check in and let you all know i am still here. Life has been a bit crazy this month, my baby is coming up on his first birthday, my first born is testing his limits and well me me i’m taking every moment i can to sit and rest because i’m prego with #3. beyond that we are busy busy busy, with birthday’s like my great grandmas 99th this weekend, and celebrating new babies being born soon,  and well just plain spending time with friends and family, but i will be here soon soon i promise with so much more to show you. To tied you over check out my sweet sweet friend and her sweet sweet words and photos of my blessings! Here (photo taken from her post)

I luv designing dresses!

Ok so I’m not a fashion designer and I rarely sew anything without a pattern to follow. But one thing I do do, and love to do might I add, is to combine patterns to make my own clothes!

I feel in love with this fabric (again from my favorite discount shop). At first I wasn’t sure if it was cute, I had 2 friends with me. The one hated it the other loved it. So I decided to get some & think on it. Then as we wandered through another part of the store I found some corduroy that matched perfectly and I knew I wanted it to be a dress!

So I brought my fabric home and I thought on it a bit more and then finally settled on a dress that I thought would be cute. The top of it is from pattern 2724 and the bottom was the skirt from pattern 2403.

I’m really impressed with the finished project. Now to plan a date to wear it to!!!

My Camera

I am so so sad, my camera broke!!!! I don’t even know how it happened, but it fell and broke. So now i need to research where and how to get it fixed. Until then i am forced to use my point and shoot camera. Now i am no photographer so that means a lot a lot of work on my photos and they will still probalby look horrible. oh Well. All this to share with you 1 that is why i am behind on posting and 2 forgive me for future photos!

Well Happy Wednesday, no wordless for me since i don’t have my camera!
