Sucre lulu

About the same time I won the bib I also won another giveaway. They came in the mail Monday. They are so pretty. I got to choose the sizes I wanted so I chose 3 small and 1 large this way Savannah and Valerie could both wear them. Valerie doesn't know I got them yet since she is away again.

Thank you Sucrelulu

10k

So this is not a craft post...but more of I just want to share. I am in the middle of preparing for my 2nd half marathon, so this past weekend on the holiday I had my first run of the season. I was excited, nervous and happy to be back in it. I have not done a race in almost 2 years. And it was my first 10k (6.2 miles)

I was able to run it with my good friend Maria which was fun in itself because she is now addicted to running and it was her first race. She did wonderful!

I myself was really happy with my time. My goal was 1hr 15 mins and I did it in 1hr and 5 mins. The clock time as I am passing is without subtraction the time it took me to get to the start of the race. My husband, oldest daughter, son and Maria and family were at the finish line waiting for me. We left Savannah home with Beam. Austin ran out to give me a big hug it was a great moment. I couldn't help but be so smiley at the finish.

4TH of July shirts

I did a quick freezer paper stencile for the kids for the 4th of July.

It ended up working out pretty nicely. I cut out the stars and ironed them on Austin shirt and then I used the freezer paper I cut them out of for Valerie's shirt. So I didn't mind cutting all those little stars out.

For Valerie's shirt she wanted it to be a little more feminine so I kinda used Lexi idea. I didn't do it for scratch, I just modified a regular 2.50 t-shirt from Walmart. I cut the neck, shorten the sleeves, and took in the sides.





Savannah is going to wear the outfit I made her for Memorial Day...since I put a lot of effort into it.

Birthday gift

I finished this top last week, but just found the photos today. This is a birthday gift for someone special. I hope she likes it.

It's a total refashion which I know she will love. A top and a pillowcase put together. I hope she feels as though it is age appropriate. What I really like about this top is the french seams. I love doing french seams but it seems if I have a pattern I am following I never allow myself enough seam allowance, so I don't do them to often.

Rae's sunsuit

I feel like Savannah is growing out of her clothes faster than I can make them. I feel pretty good that I have not bought her an outfit since she was 2 months old! But she ends up only having 3/4 outfits at a time because she is growing fast and I can't keep up. In May I made the snappy top from prudent baby for a gift for someone, she tried it on to model and make sure it fit. 3 weeks ago I made her 1 no go...it was to small!! In 3 weeks people 3 weeks! So I made her 2 outfits that did fit. 2 versions of Rae's sunsuit. The first was a mistake on my part, but I made it work, the second came out just like it was suppose to, imagine that. This is the first I have gotten to take a picture of her in the one outfit, lighting is bad but still cute! The one I made work I will show later, because i have some detail on that one to explain, plus I don't have a picture of her in it.

My main focus

So right now that I have some bibs up in the Etsy shop (just waiting to see if they will actually sell)!
I have many more done, I just don't want to place them all up at once.

I am pretty much focused on Savannah's birthday.

We have the date and theme, but that's about it.

My list of things to make (so far):

photo banner
Hats
outfit
conversation hearts
favors
Invitations
table cloths
of course the cake

I wish I had picked my theme back in February, what a steal I would have gotten on all kinds of heart items!

For favors I was thinking of making reusable snack bags for the kids and placing some snacks in the bag instead of buying useless 10 cent breakable items kids under 3 can't have anyway.

The Cover-Alls are in

I have got my first Cover-All in the Etsy shop! It is a girly one, but boy ones to come.

I got all my fabric cut and waiting to be sewn (ya know when the kids go to bed). I hope to have the boy friendly Cover-Alls in the shop by Friday.

I think I have learned my lesson with Etsy...Don't put it all up at once. If you do, you will fall to the back of the line when others similar to your's are listed. I do have a lot more to learn about Etsy though.

Feel free to check it out!
