CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!!

I came across Bonnie's blog about 3 months ago and love reading her posts and seeing the things she has made for her children.
She's hosting a giveaway!!


Head on over to Fishsticks and Fries to learn more about her giveaway in honor of her 100th post.

This is just a fraction of what she is giving away....What a sweet lady!! Go check it out!!

It's been awhile!

It's been a long time since I posted on here....I'm not doing to good am I?? Life just seems to get more busy with the more kids you have and the more your husband works...kind of stinks sometimes! :) Here's a pair of longies I just finished for Van-man w/ a matching hat! I used the tutorial and pattern from Katrina's site:





By the way Van-man is going to be 4 months old next Monday...how time flies!

I believe I have done more stuff and I'll post when I have time. Today (and tomorrow) I'm off to help at an in-home daycare. I've been helping this lady for a couple of years and she's going out of state for a funeral for the weekend.

Back to the sewing machine (Lots of pictures & tutorials)

I just wanted to share some thing that I have worked on since baby and one that was a pre-baby outfit (I just didn't get a chance to blog about it).

So first off: Pre-baby Outfit for Miss A!
Lazy Day Skirt made with from the Oliver + S tutorial:

The flower was made from a tutorial found here:

Cute huh?!?!

Next up a Buttercup bag from Made by Rae:

And last but not least this great reusable sandwich bag from here:

ADORABLE!!!

Isn't this top and skirt adorable?!?!?It's a Giveaway!!

You could have a chance to win this adorable outfit all you have do is click on one of the pictures below and head over to Grosgrains blog and read the information she has...it's SUPER easy! :) I personally think I have just the right model to fit this dress (although her model is very cute also). ;)
I hope she will eventually make one in my size...I absolutely LOVE it!

New Pj's

New PJ's...both kids could use some warmer pj's for this fall so I've decided to join with the Sew, Mama, Sew Blog for their Pajama Party-Sew Along! Click on the picture below to join in on the sewing fun!! (By the way this is my first time and I'm not a real advanced seamstress so my pj's ended up being pretty simple.

This is my first sew-a-long! And I thought it would be LOTS of fun.

I got some knit from a garage sale for pretty cheap and decided to make Van-man some new Pj's well when I finished them up Miss A decided she wanted a pair also...not as cute on her but she's happy! :)

My pistol packing little girl:

No Sewing...But Pictures!

I have been toying around lately with taking pictures. I really enjoy it!! So with some of my spare time yesterday I took the two kiddos out to take a few pictures. Here's just a few of them! Not bad for having a 2 year old who didn't want to cooperate! She's really into picking flowers these days, so it's amazing what a little bribing can do. ;)

Miss A and Little Van-Man

Don't forget to stop and smell the....flowers!

Gotta {love} feet!!

How sweet is my Little Van-man?!?

The best of the both of them!
