Fun with Sewing!

As I had mentioned last post, I have had so much fun sewing and coming up with cute ideas. I never thought I would have such a passion for this hobby, but I do!!! I was thinking that I will sew various children's clothing and add appliques to different items like onesies, burp cloths, tank tops, etc. Over the next year I will have come up with enough items to start doing craft shows, etc. Well, to my surprise I have received 3 orders in the last week with just people asking about what Brynlee is wearing. Here is my first item for a 3 mo old. I finished it last night. I am quite excited about it!!

Here are some of the pieces Brynlee has been wearing.

This is an old tank top that I turned into a tunic.

Abby, I can't wait to find out what you are having so I can make something fun for Baby Lee!

As you know, I have taken up sewing, and I love it. I have been sewing like crazy. I will post some more of my projects soon. If any one else has the some interest in sewing like I do, there is a website giving away a fat quarter pack. You choose 12 fabrics from the shop and post them in the comment section. That is your entry. Here is the link: http://the-fabric-shopper.blogspot.com Good luck!

Crazy but Fun!

It has been a crazy but fun last 2 weeks. We had a wedding & a birthday party. We want to say congratulations to Aunt Ashley and Uncle Jess on their wedding and the beginning of their life together. Thank you all so much for allowing us to be a part of the joyous event. I know my 2 were not the best behaved ring bearer and flower girl, but they had fun.The next big event was the birthday party for the birthday girl. Her birthday was actually the day after the wedding, but we had her party yesterday (a beach party). I must say thank you to Mamaw, Papaw, and Aunt Teri for helping us pull it off. I could not have done it with out you!!! I give a big shout out to Aunt Melissa for making the 3 hour trip with 4 kids (3.5 yrs, 2 yrs, and 6mo old twins) all be herself. Ma & Pa Kelly, we missed you, but your gift arrived just in time for the party. Aunt Lindsay, we thank you for the Princess Bible (we forgot to take it with us to church this morning, and that caused a minor fit, but we managed to convince her it will be okay to start bringing it next Sunday).
Brynlee has not stopped talking about her party, and she wants to do it again next year (we will see). She loves all her gifts. She has been in her room for several hours today playing with them all!!! Here are some pictures of the fun and very crazy beach party!!!I decided to make the cupcakes. I always get the cake from a bakery, but I decided to do it all this year. I think they turned out well. I found a decorating web site that uses marshmallows for decorating. It was very time consuming, but worth it!!!
