Summer Sewing

So I spent some time sewing this summer too. One of things I love to do when I can find the time is to sew. I decided that I would make Maeci some pillowcase dresses and a skirt. The first dress is a pink and brown stripe. I made it especially for a friend of mine's baby shower. Her colors were pink and brown. The other dress is a Strawberry Shortcake pattern. I made it along with a backpack to match for her 3rd birthday.

The skirt in the picture below, I made for 4th of July. It is a star pattern.

I also sewed a bunch of burp clothes for some friends of mine that were having babies this summer. Here are some pictures of a few that I remembered to take pictures of.

My last summer sewing project was a window curtain and shower curtain for my bathroom.

I'm working on some other projects. I making some new pillows for my couch, a quilt for Maeci for Christmas and a carseat cover for my cousin. I will post pictures of those when I'm finished.

Come and Get it Birdies!!

We have a little woods behind our house and as a result we have a lot of birds. The boys have been fascinated with all the birds we've seen. They love the cardinals. I decided it would be a great idea to make bird feeders so we can watch the birds more often. So today we created our bird feeders. We made them out of empty orange juice cartons. The boys had a blast. Hopefully tomorrow we can get them up in the back yard.

We started our project outside, but then towards the end of us finishing it began to sprinkle, so we had to move it inside.

Here is our feeders. Kaleb's, Mine, and then Zarek's.

Puppets

Friday I was making a sample puppet for my 3-5yr. old Sunday school class and the boys wanted to make their own also. I love watching my kids being creative. They've got some great imaginations.

Rock Painting

The boys had collected some rocks a while back and today decided that they wanted to paint them. So I set up the table with paints and brushes and they jumped right in. Maeci wanted to be part of the action too.










The Final Project!!
