They are just "sew" easy!

Sorry for the pun. The other night, I just couldn't sleep. So, instead of fighting it, I watched The Astronaut Farmer and sewed a few nightgowns. I had enough fabric leftover to make a cute little baby sized one. With visions of squishy baby rolls peaking out of the little dress, I made a cute little baby sized nighty. And I used Sam as the size model. He's going to hate these pics when he gets older.


Then to toot my own horn just a bit more, I have already given the nighty to the darling Briella! Huge since her mom just happened to be visiting from Texas for a few days. I think that the blue will look so cute with her tan skin and light blond hair. It's funny that I am so happy with the project because it only took 20 minutes to make. Really, it's "sew" simple! Har, har, hardy, har, har.

This weekend, we had a bridal shower for my niece Chantel who's getting married in two weeks. She looked beautiful in her crisp white dress and red heels. Ah, to be without kids. Pretty clothes and time to spend getting ready. It will be fun to go to the wedding. She's been keeping her dress a complete surprise so that will be fun to see. There's no doubt that she will look gorgeous. Also, Mia is practically counting down the days to see Chantel in her "marry dress".

Today was a pretty good day at church. That's a blessing in itself. Afterward, we have been enjoying playing games together. And the dollhouse that I got so long ago got some good playing time in today. By all the kids. As luck would have it, as soon as I took the camera out for a picture, they all scattered. Never fear, I learned well from my mama! "Wait! Instant replay!" said I and with all the familiarity of doing this way too much, I had them recreate the scene and got mediocre results. Still, it makes me smile remembering all of the staged pictures of my youth. All of which came with less than desirable results.

I think you should sell these since you enjoy making them and they are fast and easy. Start making a bunch and Jas will come take some awesome pictures of them, and then put them up for sale on your blog and make up flyers and take them around your neighborhood. You never know how good it would do until you try!
