Spring sewing with a plan (SWAP)

Ok, here is my Spring sewing plan!  Wish me luck! I'd love any suggestions or additional ideas.

I've actually already finished the rain coat (it was a necessity in Houston). I was planning to do one for myself as well, but this fabric was really a pain to work with (laminated cotton). So I really can't do it until I get a teflon foot for my machine, but since I got in trouble with Loren for the credit card bill last month...maybe I'll wait another month:) Hey, we were moving...what did he expect?!?

Princess Bedroom

Kate requested a princess bedroom for her new room in Texas. So far, I've managed only one princess item: her princess bed canopy. She picked out the flowers and tulle herself and helped me put it all together. I'm hoping to put some princess wall decals up to spruce up the plain white walls, but haven't found any that are what I'm looking for yet...

Here she is proudly displaying her art wall filled with artwork and schoolwork.

And of course the dollhouse from Santa. This was a HUGE success.

I couldn't resist posting a wardrobe creation. Gotta love Christmas socks with striped leggings.

What can I say...we live in Texas!

Don't mess with Texas!

Hello!

We've been busy since November! I graduated from residency (yippee!!) and we spent two weeks in Colorado for Christmas before moving to Texas. Phew!

Here are some photos of moving into our new home:

First arriving

AHHHHHHHHH!  What a mess!!

It took us about a week and a half working from 7am-11pm very hard to get everything unpacked, organized and put away, but we did it!! Kate was a good little helper.

We were all exhausted!

I'll get some "finished" pictures, some Christmas pictures and I'll post about my new job later. I had been having so many requests for a post, I figured I needed to get something up!

 We sure miss everyone in NC and CO!
