Spring Break

I got the crafting bug this week.  Who knows why but I decided not to fight it.  I started by making dresses and vests for the kids for Easter.

Here is little Lucy's dress.  I know she won't be here for Easter, but I thought I could use these outfits for a family picture this summer.  

I had a hard time making such a tiny dress, but I think it turned out pretty good for my second dress EVER.

Karina's dress was my first dress ever.  My friend Jenn helped me.  I basically asked her what to do, she told me, I did it, and before I knew it the dress was done.   

I made Bruce's vest and bow tie all by myself.  I even made the pattern for the vest.  I NEVER thought I would be able to do it, but I got stared and once I got through the first few steps it was easy sailing. 

 The vest is reversible. 


I made the girls a few hair bows to go with their dresses as well. 

 After all of that I had Alan buy me a glue gun and I started going hair bow crazy.  I made a total of 20 hair bows this week and I made this hair bow holder. 

I think I am feeling like I should be doing something for this baby but there is not much to do so I am creating projects to keep myself busy.  Whatever the reason, I am glad I did it.  I am gaining self confidence in my sewing skills and I am learning something new.  Good things all around.
