but I wanted to show you all the paper crafts I have been doing…sorry it’s a bit shaky we moved yes, we did and I got a beautiful craft room now…so excited…but looking for the tripod so I was holding the camera…it will be a lot better videos once I find the tripos, so sorry

about that.

Spring is a good time to start sewing for the summer…

I am thinking of sewing summer cloths now. I know I live in frozen tundra land but if I start sewing late

spring and summer cloths now then I will have some really awesome things for the summer.  We are planning a vacation

at the beginning of April  (Florida vacation) so they will have some really cute things to wear for that as well.  I have tons of prewashed fabric

all I must do is iron it. I really wish I had a sewing buddy close by but I don’t really have any friend who share any interest as I.

It’s kinda sad! So in the next few week look for upcoming outfits and oh yea, I have a strong desire to make a few more purses.

I check youcanmakethis.com everyday for more epatterns.  That is one of the best craft sites on the web….

Alright, a personal update one me- I am back on ww and yes going crazy adjusting but it is the end of week 3 and I am  down to 180.8 from 188.0  So it’s good but I think of food all the time it can get  really annoying.

Also, I have really been thinking of cards and jewelry lately….yes, spring is on it ways….I tend to get really motavated during spring and summer!

Happy crafting and have a scraptacular evening!

Valentine’s Day Dresses from ycmt!

I finished my dresses,  and I am really happy with the way they turned out.  It took me a bit to finish but they were done before valentines day.

here are a few pics of the girls wearing them.

Getting ready for Valentines Day!

Today I am creating 2 really cute but very different styled peasant dresses for my Alex and Alijah.  I can’t wait to see how cute they are going to  look on my little darlings. Last night I printed my patterns and today I cut. After I cook dinner I will head out to the gym (yes 1st day back to my old routine since before Christmas) When I get home I will sew them together. I am debating on weather or no to make matching pants for them. I may just because.  I am not sure if I am working tomorrow or not so that will determine if I get both done tonight or both. We are going to IHOP on valentines day for breakfast I would love for the girls to have them to wear, I hope it won’t be to cold. As the material I chose is light weight cotton.  We have been thawing out here in the Midwest quite a bit this past week. So I hope it continues to do so. I love to sew in warm weather. I love to make wispy little outfits for my girls.

so keep you eye out I will be posting the outcome soon…

It’s 3:10 am…

I am typing this from the hospital…I have been here for hours……there seems to be no end in site…

I am hungry, tired and my loving hubby will be getting up  at 6am to leave me to go to work, I will be over tired with a 2 and 4 year old.

Well if he gets home in time I will nap…wish me  luck, I must work now…
