Now that I seem to be resurfacing from the fog, of a very roughpregnancy and having a newborn in the house, life is starting to get back to normal. I am actually wanting to get back to the normal things that filled my days before life got flipped upside down.
But as with all other times when life goes off from normal it eventually comes back. Maybe not back to the original normal but a new even batter one than before. Probably doesn't matter anyways because by the time we get back to 'normal' we don't remember what the original 'normal' felt like. (can you tell I had caffeine today? ;o)
Any who..all of my frugal crafty readers will be happy to know I am back to spending time with Gus. I missed him and he missed me. We have a very head strong, hot and cold relationship. (His label says he does multiple layers of jeans so darn it he is going to sew multiple layers of jean! But that is for another post.)
Sis, my ever so fashionable tomboy has been asking for skirts and nightgowns. I was waiting to go to town to buy her some and then it occurred to me that 'Hey I know how to sew! Skirts are easy' (That would be one of my not so bright 'Duh' moments..don't forget the fog I mentioned earlier) So i went digging through my stash and found some cute fabrics that have been laying around just waiting for project like this. I just hadn't had the time or energy to use them.
To be honest it took me a few minutes to get back into the sewing frame of mind. it has been a while since I have sewn clothes. I have done quilts recently but it has been forever since I did clothes. Plus I did the most recent ones without patterns. Which makes them even funner but requires a little more thought.
I have a couple more project underway and even have a few more finished but I don't have the pictures on this computer. I will post them really soon.
So here you go.
Sis and her Tinkerbell nightgown.
I am going to have to make some more of them because i have to pry it out of her hands to wash it. Plus if it isn't clean by bedtime I get an ear full. I am glad she likes my handy work.
I have a few more skirts for Sis and also a jumper for Little Bit finished. Plus I am almost finished with Little Bits quilt..it matches Sis's quilt.
Yes life is getting back to a new normal. A normal with one more little mouth to feed and the amazing blessings that come with. Spring has started it wonderful cycle that will all to quickly fade into Summer. We are preparing the ground for this years crops and the projects we have planned for this year. Easter is in a few short days and we will be done with school
This is one of my most favorite times of the year! Enjoying it while it lasts.
Blessings!

Oh I almost forgot to point out that I made the nightgown for less than $2. I caught the fabric on clearance at walmart super cheap. Even had a good bit of fabric leftover. Well probably make Little Bit something to match. Because we are cool like that.
cute! and the gown too ;)
