My Latest Project

While the boys were busy working last Saturday, and we were without cable, I decided to finish the daygown that I started working on before I was pregnant!  When I first started smocking it, there were several people in our Sunday School class who were pregnant, but weren't sure of the gender yet.  I figured that surely one of them would have a girl... well I was wrong!  They ALL had boys.  We were the first baby girl, and I decided to just keep it for Parker.  Now, I just hope the season continues positively and that we have a bowl game that we can wear it for after she gets here!

Summertime!

I cannot express how much I have enjoyed my first day of summer. It was so nice to not have to do anything today. I needed to catch up on laundry, but I also treated myself to some shopping and a much needed pedicure. I'm going to try to be a better blogger now that school is out... hopefully I'll have somethings to post about.

We're headed to Opp tomorrow for Mallory's graduation, and have several beach and lake trips planned during the next two months. For now, I'm going to post some pictures of sewing projects that I've completed:

I had these overalls monogrammed:

I finished Baby Kate's outfit:

I made this daygown for a friend:

I finished this for John: I have some other projects in the works, so be looking for some pictures of those soon!

Sewing Projects

My mom started teaching me how to smock a few weeks ago. I am loving it. I always have to have something to do when I'm watching tv and smocking has fit right in. I've also been teaching myself how to sew. Here are a two outfits I've made plus two pieces I've smocked.


These are two of the pieces I've smocked- same design, different colors.




These overalls are for my favorite little boy. I got to keep him this weekend...isn't he a cutie!
