Ruffles!!!

Made KK a darling little pair of capri's with ruffles for her on Sunday just before a cookout at my brother's house. Found the pattern and tutorial HERE. I love the waist on them. It has to feel super comfy around KK's waist! The best part is that I found the fabric at Hobby Lobby in the remnant bin for right aroud $2.

I only have this one picture of her wearing them. As soon as I finished making them we were out the door and on the way to my brother's house.

She loves playing with this toy gun of Matthew's. Will have to get another picture next time she wears them.

I am in love!!

In love with my new serger! I have a feeling that I am going to be making even more clothes for KK now. For my niece too! I was looking around on Pinterest and found this adorable apron top tutorial.

The outfit on the left is for my niece Payton, which it will be a little bit before I get to see her wear it. And of course the one on the right is for my little Miss KK.

I love how the back is open. Will keep her nice and cool during the hot summer days!! She even wore her own shoes when we went outside for pictures.




Now I have to get back to work on my Sylvia Bridal Sampler. I want it on the frame being quilted next month. Well by August for sure!

New outfirt for KK!!

Just bought myself a new serger, Brother 1034D, and I LOVE IT!! Easy to thread and not as intimidating as I thought it would be. It makes such a huge difference in the clothes that I made for KK last night. I know it is only my first time using it but WOW! What a difference! Can't wait to use it on some knit fabric.

We went outside for pictures this morning. KK just had to wear her brother's shoes.

She was doing so good saying "Cheeeeeeeessseeeee!" and smiling for me but everytime I took the photo she looked away.

Just bought these beautiful flowers yesterday. Hope that I remember to water them. As you can tell from my grass it has been a really hot and dry June this year. Hopefully we get some rain coming our way.

I found the tutorial for the shirt pattern from a wonderful blog, Sparkle Power. The shorts I did by making my own pattern from a pair that KK had in her dresser. Had to be very quiet last night at 10 when I snuck into her room to grab them.

For Sewbee........

My very good friend just celebrated her birthday over the weekend and I sent her a very special little gift.

A bee for Sewbee aka Shirley. She has a an awesome blog and is a great quilter. You have to check her out.

You can find the pattern to the bee here.

Another row of the Sylvia's Bridal Sampler.

Finally finished row L of my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. Only 2 more rows to go!! I am glad that my brother is tall and has long arms. Although he still had to stand on the carpet pile at work so I could get a good picture of it.
