Hot Pink & Zebra!

Brighton made this fantastic skirt, headband & flowers to model in the upcoming fashion show at the Maricopa County Fair in a few weeks. The skirt is pleated and has a zipper in the back. The flowers were Brighton's touch! She is going to make one heck of a fashion designer someday!!

Pioneer Children Sang as They Walked

Two of my kids went on a Pioneer Trek re-enactment last week. They had to push or pull a handcart over 25 miles in 2 days! It was a great experience for them. I got to make some of the clothing for it. They were required to wear traditional pioneer clothing. This is one of the skirts & aprons that I made. I made the apron from some of the scrap fabric that I have. I think it looks cute pieced. I used my ruffler foot to make the ruffle on the pocket. The flower adds just the right touch. :) The second apron became a little "simpler" as the evening got later. I added a pleat to one side of the apron. I did add a ruffle to the pocket as well as some rick rack. A nice deep pocket to hold a water bottle, and a ruffle to the bottom. Voila!

Birthday Wishes

Yesterday was my birthday. I had so many birthday wishes from friends and family. We started the day off right with homemade cinnamon rolls with green frosting. It was not only my birthday but St. Patty's day too. My 1st birthday gift! I love going to the movies!! Well...I think I do. I don't go very often. I think the last movie I saw was Justin Bieber with my daughter. At least it wasn't animated. I guess it counts as an adult movie?! Hopefully I can use this movie pass for a chick flick. :) Wonderful friends that brought me dinner so I didn't have to cook. So nice!! And it was super yummy too!! My house was decorated with balloons and streamers. I came home to these signs on my garage after going to lunch with my kids to Joe's Farm Grill Check out the green hair that came in the mail from Janae . All my kids got a kick out of wearing this. They even put it on my 7 month old. Emily was a great model until... oh look it's a Justin Bieber commercial!

Adorable Half Apron

Lauren made this adorable half apron in class today for her sister. I love the choice of colors Lauren picked. It just makes you want to go in the kitchen and start cooking. We added a ruffle to the pocket and a ruffle to the bottom. Fabulous!!

Button Headbands

I love these headbands. They are simple to make and teach the girls how to sew on buttons. They were so excited to make these. The girls said they were going to go home and change to match their headbands. How cute is that?!!
