Busy, busy, busy!

 I've had a lot going on lately and haven't had time to take pictures of every project I've been working on but I'll share a few....

I recently made some matching skirts for a lady in my comunity.  They were red and they were high waisted with big red ties in the front.  They were so cute!  I wanted to make something similar for my little ladies.  I was shopping for fabric and was stopped in my tracks when came upon this adorable gray and white chevron at Hobby Lobby.  I took what was left on the bolt (7/8 of a yard).  Would you believe it if I told you that I whipped up these skirts (plus matching flower pins) on a Saturday evening and was actually in bed by 2:00 am.  Go me!


Too bad I didn't have enough fabric to make the big ties, but with beautiful faces like those, who needs more adornment, right?
Another super simple skirt I made for a friend's daughter.  She is going to be an angel for Halloween and needed a white skirt.   They are so easy to make:  a top casing for elastic and a bottom hem.

My in-laws are in town.  Goodness, I love them!!!  I've hardly touched a dirty dish, changed a diaper, or gotten up early enough to feed my kids breakfast.  They are on top of everything!  My father-in-law get's a little antsy when he doesn't have anything to do so I found a woodworking project and set him to work.  It's not finished yet so I'll update later.  I'm so excited!


My adorable son turned 7 the other day.  We've been having fun with his new presents (big time favorites were Hexbugs and Bey Blades)!  He requested a hot lava volcano cake!  All the kids were in awe of my fabulous cake decorating skills.  ha ha (I am not a professional and will NEVER claim to be).

My husband's coworker is having her first baby--a boy.  My go to shower gift is a set of my favorite handmade baby bibs!  



I added little "scraplique" robots to the front of two bibs to make a matching set.


I'm off to spend the last few days with my in-laws and then I'll be back with a few more projects and maybe a tutorial or two.
