Odds and Ends
I recently inherited a bunch of material from a friend and I am super excited about the possibilities! I will probably use some for Julia's bed spread and I'm hoping to make some summer dresses out of the rest. Of course I'm not starting on anything till I finish their curtains. I've done one window and am successfully procrastinating on the double window.
I love these floral prints.
She was also going to give away the beginning of a smocked dress and I am totally going to finish piecing it together and then I'll take the credit. LOL
I also figured out how to make my hooded towels appropriate for boys. I was inspired by one of the girls' carter's pajamas which has felt shapes on it. The stitching isn't perfect but it holds the star on there and it works.
I have 2 more to make, everyone I know seems to be having boys.
In other news, Lizzie and my Mom planted some sunflowers in a pot this past weekend for Lizzie to water and to watch grow. And I had them out on the front porch and last night during the storm they got soaked. I think its possible the seeds got drowned. I do not have a green thumb and I'm hoping something sprouts or I am going to be pulling up a weed from our yard putting it in the dirt just so my daughter can see something "grow". In another week I'm going to be buying a sunflower from somewhere. She is going to think that flowers just appear over night!
Julia has been pushing this toy around lately, its becoming the way she gets around the house and avoids walking on her own. It is super cute though, she steers it around corners, its almost like someone using a walker.
