Projects

Here are some of the things we've been working on...

This is a dress I made from one of Loren's old dress shirts






Here are some pants I lengthened by adding a ruffle to the bottom


This is the latest in my knitting adventures...I've graduated from dishcloths and swiffer covers to leg warmers! I used this tutorial. My skills are improving! It was knit in the round on 4 double pointed needles AND has stripes!! I'm working on a dress for Christmas now...we'll see if I can finish!!

Happy Halloween!!



Happy Halloween! This year Kate was Cinderella. She had been asking and asking for a Cinderella dress, so I broke down and made one for her. It was quite a project, when I realized half way through that the fabric store had cut my fabric short and I didn't have enough. When I went back, they were out of the original fabric, so I got one that was close and got a sparkly organza to overlay and hide the color mis-match. I think it actually turned out even cuter with the sparkles! Plus, Kate loved the "sprinkles" on the skirt.

We went to playgroup on Friday wearing Cinderella and then on Saturday we went to a neighborhood parade at a friends' home and then to church for Trunk or Treat. Kate wasn't quite sure at the beginning, when people reached for her treat bag, she was pretty sure they were trying to take it from her. It took a few trunks for her to realize that people were actually giving her candy! Then she decided it was ok:)
