My daughter the vegetarian??

DH made a very big mistake the other day. He told the kids what meat was. The muscles of animals he says as I frantically wave my arms in the background. Big Brother just smiles blissfully and pops another bite in his mouth. My darling diva looked sick. She didn't say a word, but didn't eat a bite of meat that night. Now when I fix dinner she asks what we're having. Then her next question "is it meat?" She has not eaten a bite of "meat" since. Not even her beloved chicken nuggets.

Working :)

I'm working on this set again today:


Hopefully I'll finish it up. This has been one of her favorites. Most of the time she will only wear them a few times, but she has worn this one a bunch.

The cupboard door.

Baby boy got into my cupboard today. He pulled everything out, and made a big mess. While I don't enjoy cleaning it up, I must admit it gives me some relief. He also puts the little people in their cars and drives them around the house. Every time I watch him doing these simple things I am reminded of my oldest son. They look so much alike and yet they are so different. Big brother never pulled things out of my cupboards his only interest in cupboards was opening and closing them. I don't think he ever looked inside. My parent's house was heaven on earth for him she has two walls that are just cupboard doors. He would start at one end and open each door until he reached the other end, then turn around and start back. Good luck if you wanted to get something out LOL! Cars were just something to hold the wheels unless they had doors to open and close. Big brother is the sweetest boy alive. Everyone who meets him loves him, but as I watch him struggle to find a place with other children his age, I am relieved bayby boy does not exhibit the same behaviors that his big brother did at this age.

Playground Launch

Here is the finished set. The pictures aren't great, but you can get an idea of what it looks like. I can't wait to see how it looks on. I'm sure Angie will do a wonderful job with the pictures! I hope her little cutie likes it.
These are the knits that go underneath:


And here is the whole set together:


This fabric is really cute!

Sewing without the foot pedal.

Today I sewed without using the foot pedal. I started out using it, but little baby crawled under my sewing table and carried it away! He sat on the floor and put his tiny foot on it and pushed and pushed, smiling all the while. So I unplugged it. I learned that I can just push the go button when the foot pedal is not connected and the machine keeps sewing until I push it again. Kind of nice feature when you have little ones underfoot. It beats unpicking everything because of an unexpected burst of sewing! He is pushing it around the house now, he really loves it. Who needs expensive fancy toys anyway? Here is my little helper:



I think it's time to wash the pedal!

How many bites?

How many bites do I have to eat?

This must be one of the most common phrases used at our house. Every night at dinner time. You would think I'm a bad cook, but I think I actually do a pretty good job with cooking. Not so good at the laundry, but I've always been able to make edible food. So why don't my kids want to eat it?

Sewing Today!

Today I am finishing up a little set for Serendipity Boutique's Playground Couture Launch. I'm paired up with Angie and her little cutie
She chose the cutest fabric, Lil' Kingdom from Micheal Miller paired with fun bright polkadots! I can't wait to see how the set looks this little sweetie. I'm sure she'll get some great pics!
