Beka's new dress-

Well, I 've just about got the sewing/craft room set up at the new house. The first thing I needed to make is new clothes for Beka. She seems to be growing like a weed. I decided to make a peasant dress with some bright material that I had. I also added some elastic around the chest area cause it needed some definition. What do you think?

School starts already

Well, school starts her in Florida today for 2 of my children (the third on Wed.) I cant believe how fast time flys... :( Did you notice Dan is wearing the vest we made? The skirt Mandi is wearing I made from a Moo-moo I picked up for $10.. I got two skirts and one shirt out of it. Don't you love the colors?? Well on the homefront- painting is just about done, carpet being put in as we speak.. YA!! I'll keep ya'll posted as we go.. Jenn

Florida Sunset

Sorry....

First of all I want to say I'm sorry for not posting any cool stuff as of late..   My husband and I made a life altering choice to move again. This past month has been a world wind. First of all we are moving to .....  FLORIDA!!   We spent 2 weeks there, found a house- put a bid in for it and it was accepted.. had to get the home inspection done, get insurance (home and auto).. oh'boy and if that wasn't enough.. went back to Texas- had 12 days to get affairs in order, get kids shots and school physicals, get a mover and pack a family of 5. As of today we are back in Florida- closing on Friday, 7/23/2010.. Almost done!!!!
Once our personal belongings arrive via the movers, I will have my craft room once again!!!! 
Then you will see step by step my decorating of a house.( My husband is good for that, I am not.. but you will see it happen)
Please be patient with me during this transition..  Jennifer

Beka's new shorts

Hey check out the new shorts I made Beka out of two $1 cloth napkins!

I had a few extra minutes.

I had a few extra minutes, so I decided to whip up a few pairs of capris for the ever growing Beka. Recently she has grown into a little girl body with legs and all... and I'm not fond of the styles or length of the shorts found in our stores here (and they cost too much for my budget of nothing..  :)  ) The first pair was made out of a tee shirt I picked up for $1 and the second one is from a Nemo crib sheet. (I just knew I would make something cool with it. Character material is soo darn expensive.)  I used a pair of jeans for the pattern. I think they turned out good and I hope she won't grow out of them before summer is over.......

(yes the nemo legs are sewn even.. this what I get for having a 4 year old hold them. lol   )

I'm trying again....

I'm trying once again to crochet... I can't follow the directions. It's like looking at another language-dc,ch,sl.... I have enough issues with english. :) but I do have two little girls that most likely would like to learn to do it...
I'm starting with something easy like  a headband  from   http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-pattern-checkered-headband/ (thanks Rachel for the directions) We'll see if I can do it?!?!

( a previously made hat that you put over your head, no scarf needed..)
