Little Rag Doll

This is my cousin, Kiana, who is a competitive dancer. She designed and helped sew this costume for her dance competition. She was awesome of course.

Make That Dress Longer

This cute dress from Ross was just a little too short, so we took out the hem, added a ribbon and some lace. Who knew?

Camp Purses

"Courage to Stand" is the theme for camp this year. This is the t-shirt and so I was asked to make all the girls a traveling purse to carry their schedule, water, snacks, etc. No lanyards this year. The lining of the purse is the same material as their PJs. I sure hope these purses are put to good use.

Book Nook

I made this book nook cushion and pillows about 3 years ago for a gal in Illinois. It is an antique youth bed frame. She purchased a 5" piece of foam to be covered. I put a huge 60" zipper in the back so it would be easy to get the cover on and off. She has a really angelic home and this was a nice addition to the reading room.

Amy the GGG...Good Witch

Amy played the part of Ga Linda the Good Witch in her school play. The dress was a one of kind with sequins going in every direction. We decided to donate it to the school because they do this play every year and they needed it.

Ok, I'm blogging today.

Here's life for the past...um, year. Cody & Amy are playing tennis, Shelley and Amy were in a show called "Curtains", and I sewed away, and I also did some bridesmaid dresses. I'm sure there were other things I did and I just might tell you about it tomorrow.

Here's the past month in whirlwind...

We weren't busy enough, so we decided to move. Actually, it's been one year to the month that we put our home up for sale in IL. Now, one year later, we are moved in and are soooo happy to be getting settled. I know, the cactus has got to go. The girls were in the musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and had a great time. I helped with the costumes. It was a cast of 72 youth ages 8-18. There were 7 performances.

Aren't my girls just beauties?

Shelley played the roll of Dorothy Parker and Millie spills a drink on her dress, tries to clean it with soy sauce and Shelley has a huge scream off stage. Shreeeeek!

Well, that's all we've been up to. Not much.
