halloween 2010

I made both of the kids costumes this year so I think I deserve the bragging rights. Zack wanted to be a "scary skeleton" and Olivia was a ladybug...not very original, I know, but SO much fun to do!

just for fun

These are some pictures I took for fun and I thought they turned out really cute so I wanted to share...

a new hobby???

I decided to get brave and try something new...sewing. For my first project I made a dress for Olivia. I could not have done this without some (okay...alot) of help from my mom, but I am VERY proud to say that I did it! I made a dress for Olivia!!! I sat and stared at the pattern and when I couldn't figure out what the heck it meant to "baste" something I called my mom. And when I thought I did a good job sewing the sleeves all by myself my mom quietly took them out and sewed them on right. Here is the finished product...

I decided it needed a little something, so I added a sash.

I think I'm going to try again. Maybe it'll be a new hobby. Now I just need a sewing machine...
