Sewing and such

I have been sewing up a storm lately but just had not had a chance to post about it!  My grandma got me these two skirt patterns and the fabric and they turned out SO cute!

 This one is a wrap skirt that will probably become a go-to pattern.  Start to finish took 30 minutes and it looks so cute on!  This would also be easy to make reversible.

 

I also made these two monograms for a close friend and my mom for their birthdays. I just love the way they turned out!

Puppy and growing up

Izzy is always so cute after she gets a bath.  She hangs out on her mat, warming up by the fire looking all fluffy!

 I can't even tell you how much I LOVE this picture Keaton drew.  Each one in our family... plus Izzy!!  And look at that name!!!  He wrote it all by himself... this time he needed some prompting because he couldn't remember what an N looked like.  Since then though he now can write his name without any help or prompting!!!!  His E and A are caps but we are working on that.  I don't want to discourage him at all since we are SO proud of him for getting his far!  He worked REALLY REALLY hard this last weekend so that he could write his name all by himself to show his teacher.  It is so good to see him this interested in writing and coloring since this hasn't been his interest in the past!





Camden discovered that markers do not taste good!

We had Talya over here one of the last days it was raining and boy oh boy they had fun but they were wet and cold!  They warmed up by the fire looking so cute together!

Once again after bath!

Halloween Costumes

I took the kids to the studio for some photos in their Halloween costumes!  Tiana was a butterfly, Keaton was a veterinarian and Camden was a monkey.
