Pillowcase dresses

Made a few pillowcase dresses today. Actually I made 5 dresses and cut out 4 more. Just wanted to use them up. Ruby loves to play dress up in them, but she doesn't need that many. So I need to figure out what to do with the rest.

SpongeBob apron

Got the spongebob dress and an apron made. Never got a picture of Layla in her dress. She liked the apron better than the dress, but I made it for Ruby. I made the view that is V neck and it is really low on Layla. She is tiny and I made it by size 5. She'll have to wear a tshirt under it.

Work in Progress


Making a quilt for Jakob. I've made him 3 quilts in 11 years. It's time for a big boy quilt. His Dad had some old well worn jeans Lori was going to throw out, so I decided to use these as part of the quilt. I need more jeans. I've made 3 rows so far. I want to have 9 rows with a border. It is a "quilt as you go" rag quilt. This is my first time making one.

Dress for Layla. She had to have Sponge Bob. Had to buy this at Joann's, but I had a 40% off coupon.

Day at the Salon

Yesterday Lori and I took the girls to Sweet & Sassy. A salon for little girls. Layla had the best time. Ruby had fun, but she's a little shy and wouldn't let Lori or me step away from her. She didn't like getting her hair shampooed. No one made her, but she insisted, then hated it. It's kind of expensive for a little girl cut, but once a year wouldn't hurt.

Girls with Roscoe

My babies having a good time with Roscoe. They hadn't seen him in 4 days. Ruby calls him her Clifford Dog. He finally went home yesterday. I think he was getting homesick.

Ruby wears her princess dress all the time. One of the sleeves is torn, so I will have to cut them off and make it short sleeve.

Bag for Mom

Got this material a year ago to make my Mom a shoulder bag for Christmas. So here it is a year later. She loves everything Elvis.

Been keeping my grandson and his dog Roscoe this week while my daughter went to Texas to spend New Years with her husband. Very sweet boy and dog.

The girls are at the other grandparents. I will get them tomorrow.

2 new bags

Made 2 more bags. This is an easy pattern I got from Autumn at Creative Little Daisy. I made a few changes with the straps. Used my stash and the lining from a sheet I've used many times. Still have some of it left. The top bag is my favorite, but that's for Robbie. The bottom one is mine, but looks more like Spring, so I'll save it.
