Bigger Girl Room

If you have never seen the girls' room, then this will thoroughly unimpress you. However, if you have seen it, then this will mean something to you . I got some new things for the girls' room, and rearranged to make it "new." We replaced the broken blinds, and moved their beds in front of the window. I was going to paint the walls yellow, but decided against it. The most exciting part is the cross stitch on the wall. My mother in law spent FOREVER making it, and I have never been happy with where I put it. But I think it fits perfectly in here.

Made this today. Took about 1 minute to make. They played for 30 minutes. Totally worth it.

Jarrid came home early today, so I got to sew. Yay! I took a pillowcase that I bought at Goodwill in Levelland, and used this bubble dress tutorial.

It went from this:

To this:

Tutu Girls

Church Toys

Here is link for some paper dolls that I thought were pretty. They would make great toys to keep em busy (for 5 minutes).

Dresses

Kerri embroidered some fabric for me, so I made a couple more pillowcase dresses. Check out the piping...no glue used!

New Mexico

We went camping with my parents in New Mexico. The girls loved it. This is a few shots of our campsite, lunch in Angelfire, plus the girls swimming in Taos.

Last Day of Big Trip

I never got around to posting pictures of some of the things Kerri and I crafted. And by Kerri and I, I mean mostly Kerri. She is freakishly speedy when it comes to a sewing machine. Anyway, I wasn't able to get good pictures of the pillowcase dresses and bloomers, but here's what I did get.
