I haven't blogged in a bout a week. We have been pretty busy. I have kept up with my walking at least 3 times a week. We are still on the hunt for a house, and of course I have been sewing. Not to say keeping the house clean and hosting/leading a small group. I feel like I need a vacation. I got to go to Jo-Ann's today and that sort of felt like a little getaway. I asked Carissa if she wanted to go with me and she refused. I was shocked she is my little shopping buddy and today she told me "No mom that's OK You go and have some private time." I thought that was so sweet. How did she know I needed some private time? So here are a few things that I have made lately. One more note check out my friend Cindy's blog she has started making some very cute things. Her blog is mythreelittlebirds.blogspot.com

New fabric patterns for snack bags.

Frog fabric unisex.

Girl fabric.

If you want something specific please let me know.

I have been in need of some summer clothes for Lily. We just recently had a birthday party for her and received a lot of summer clothes. One gift we got was a gift card from my Brother to Joann's. What a great brother!
So today I took a walk with Lily to Joann's to get some more snack bag material. I got some and it hit me. I have a summer dress pattern at home. Many years ago when Carissa was a baby, I made her some summer dresses and why not make some for Lily. So here it is. I made it reversible and found some great fabric. I love the colors!




I can't wait till Friday payday! I can go and get some more fabric.
Good thing there is a sale this weekend.

Here are some pictures from Lily's party.

Here are some treats we had.

We had such a nice time with our friends and family!

Happy Birthday to my May flower,

Lily Rose!
I love you mama!

I recently saw a post from a great blog that I follow, www.joyshope.com. She posted a very cute blog on a bandanna dress that she made for her daughter. I took the great idea and changed it a little. I found some very cute light pink bandanna's, turquoise ribbon and buttons. I had some rick rack so I added it to the bottom and wah la! This is what the end product looks like.

John 6:37
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me.
And once that person is with me,
I hold on and don't let go.

I am thankful in knowing that Jesus will never let me go!
