Painting Outdoors
I haven't felt very creative in the sewing area lately. The weather has been so nice I hate to stay indoors. I've been painting my son's house. I'm not much on climbing ladders, but I'm reaching what I can. Someone else will have to reach the top. We're thinking of adding vinyl siding someday. Then I won't have to paint again.
As you can see it's not the most beautiful house, but it's livable. I took this picture from my side porch. This is the part I haven't painted and not so sure about climbing on the ladder. I will try to finish painting the front today and show you later.

Dollies new clothes

I almost forgot
Look at these .99 dollies
Got these adorable dolls for .99 each at Goodwill. I wanted to make them some clothes and fix their hair. They came over today and saw them on the couch (where I took the picture). I forgot to move them. Ruby would not put hers down for anyone. Layla did let me bring hers home, so I'll be making clothes for them.
Also got 2 hand embroidered pillowcases for $1.50 each, 2 scarfs for $1.50 each and apron for $2.00.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisy12l5WKNufHqe5mLr9Dc9wkif4dDzAYQb8TzovNf2u-LfCyisikwNXTiGnIkIw-n4HNqvd-g6Yw4HPw8KfjS3fUrsMy7syHvmwzcnGNpsR5gCIlhrPMzGRYCappi1EQnKaWnsrAyhL0/s400/IMG_0259.JPG)

Great Weekend and sewing
Don't forget giveaway tonight at 6:00 CST.
I cooked dinner yesterday for all my family and it was pretty good. My sister still not feeling very well from her chemo so she didn't get to come (prayers needed).
Made Ruby a skirt from 2 bandanna's. She loves purple, so I thought this would be perfect. Guess what? she loves Sponge Bob more. These girls can wear each others clothes, so that's how I worked it out.

Also made these leggings from Halloween socks I found for a $1.00.

Layla's Skirt
Layla and I have been looking at Lera's blog "The Sky is Pink". She really loved all of the cute skirts and tops made for Spencer. I found these 2 Sponge Bob Bandanna's at Hobby Lobby yesterday and decided to make her a skirt like Spencer's.

Thrifting, Layla and Me
Got lots of things to show. All of these patterns came from Encores & More consignment sale this past Friday. All of the smocked patterns were in one pack and they were $5.00. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikhHPU1Oi9hHMOom4mFw3Ji12ZrkUNVdL_mJOljukXG6gwaLKiVZRa4QVFSFzZwrpAHe98BkPE19IRC3WPrjPWVq0aJQF9UgWS02f0Y0CB2gCBzW5OPfsBiJB_zR6tUd_XdEOI_CVFjfE/s400/IMG_0164.JPG)

Got these at Goodwill. I found a saucer once before so I guess it goes with this cup. I've decided this is the pattern I want to collect.

Deb has a giveaway
Deb from Works in Progress has a great giveaway. She has lots of vintage sheet scraps. Go by for a visit.
Happy 12th Birthday Jakob
Hard to believe my first grandchild is 12. My beautiful Lori was only 17 when he was born. She was just a baby herself. Some miracles aren't planned. They just happen.
