sew.. whats the latest things going on....?

Hello friends and family! well, everyone is doing great! macie and john are back to the normal routine.
 im STILL playing catch up from almost 3 weeks sick!
xmas decorations and laundry- oh myyyyy
(but it helped me loose a TON weight! yea me! small victory!)    ;)
ive been SEWING like a MAD woman! im having SO much fun making things for my babies! this will not become a "sew and sell" type thing like my bows. (i still make those), i learned though, the time and energy that goes into it, and the SMALL time it does take away from family, (keep in mind, i have 3 kids and a husband, i get to sew in 30 minute slots, IF that! it takes me a week to make a 4 hour project! NO JOKE) but, i refuse to do the selling thing with this. i learned when maddie was the same age as malorie, it just comes a time to put certain things on hold, even if i enjoy it, and raise my babies! but im not giving up one of my hobbys.
 im just really enjoying seeing MY girls wearing it! not some one elses.
ive been sewing apron knot dresses, ruffle pants, twirl apron skirts! SOOOO FUN!!! mainly the boutique style stuff i am not willing to pay for! lol....
so far, ive made 2 dresses, 2 pants, and a skirt! lots of them i plan to do asap! i just do it when i can!
they just opened a "Hobby Lobby" locally, so im excited to have more choices and options for  *ALL* of my crafts!
ive been running around chasing malorie! she is soo cute! here is some of the first things i made.... i finished a twirl skirt with apron tonight, and got some adorable fabric for macie, and other girls, but no pics yet....
i plan on updating this blog more often!.... =)
**maddie (green/paisley) and malorie (purple) are wearing thier pants, and im going to make capris for spring! cant wait!
**malorie is wearing her dress, and the bright combo in the corner is what madelyns is made out of.
