Just wanted to introduce.....

Baby Ollie! He was born on April 26th and was a whopping (not) 7 lbs. Baby and mama are doing fine and are happy to be at home. Will update later!

Cheyenne's Birthday Dress

For her birthday, my niece Cheyenne asked me to make her a special birthday dress. That was all she asked for. So I created this for her. I didn't like using the interfacing in the yoke neckline but it was necessary (?). Unfortunately, there were no shots with the little model. So here it is....

Productivity and Kids

So how productive was I last night???????? Woo hoo, I finished cleaning all the blinds, check. Fixed the zipper on Brandy's couch cushions, check. Fixed Samantha's pants so she can look like a freak, check. Finished another diaper, check. Got the pattern traced and cut for Cole and Alexis's PJs, check! And completed a fleece diaper cover, which looks faboo, check! Check! Check!! I was on a roll and kicken ugly little teenager skinny butts! Have a list started this morning which includes more sewing and cleaning (insert heaving here). Unfortunately, Rory is sick again and I have to take him in. Image the sound effect wha wha whaaaaaa. Hopefully he is okay because I have no desire to repeat the last sick episode with him. At least Gary is here this time. Will update later.

Small Update.....

So I am running around like a chicken right now.......I am so glad we are finally doing the remodel on our house and I know it is going to look great when we are done but it is very stressful. I think the worst part is when you expect something to be done in a certain amount of time and it takes longer. Then it inevitably delays everything else. On top of it all, Gary is leaving on Thursday for his 2 week trip to Colorado. Then he has to come back and work like crazy before this new baby gets here. Which hopefully won't be too early. Cause we have a remodel to finish.......
Onto baby news, he is making me exhausted!!!! And I was informed this morning that I am snoring. Great! He is healthy like always and moving like crazy. He hates spicy food but mama loves it so too bad..... ;-)
Off to buy a new iron and get the kids outta the house so hubby can paint.
