Full Circle

The first pix is just Erica being very excited I had the camera. It is hard to get a pix of her that is not a close up. The rest are to show off the cute overalls. I made them when Sara and Tessa were 2. There is also a matching pair of short overalls of the same fabric. This was hand-down material from my m-i-l. Do you remember it, Janet and Laurie??? I am so excited they fit Erica. This really shows the size difference between my first babies and my last baby. These overalls are some of my fave. They are so cute and bright and cheery!!! Love them and my babies have all been so adorable in them. Clara wants a pair of overalls now. I guess I will have to get to work on that. = >






This pix is just one of what Erica likes to do when Clara is not around to kick her off the computer. She is clicking away with all she's got. I guess we have another budding computer junky. Just like her dad.

Day 5

Day 5....and this one was even easier. I made this one for Clara to go with a matching skort also. I did gather instead of pleat, and I think I like the pleats better. But I did add a button in back so it would be easier for her to put on and take off. The band is fitted and a little hard to get on and off. But it looks so cute and darling on her!!! Thank you Made by Rae. That is where I got the pattern from and the challenge. Check it out!

Day 4

Here is Sara's top. She wanted one like Tessa's, which made things even easier because I did all the adjustments on Tessa's. These I think are my fav. tops. So cute and summery. If only the weather would cooperate.

Day 3...

Yet another day and still going strong. Here is Amber's top, to match the skort I made for her last week. She picked out the material all by herself. We walked into the fabric shop and she went straight for it! It was a beautiful moment!!! I think a little bit of me is rubbing off on her. This outfit may well be my fav. yet.

Day 2

So far so good... Here we are in day 2 with top #2. This one is for Tessa. I saw the instructions for this one on line and knew it would be perfect for her! The best part is that this top will go with 2 different pair of shorts I made for Tessa last summer. Bonus!!!

A top a day...

As I was jumping from blog to blog... I came across this really neat sewing blog and the lady was doing a top a day challenge this week. I thought I can do that.... one top everyday this week. Piece of cake!! (Although her challenge was adult tops, but I am including kid tops too, because then I can make everyone one this week. = > ) Yeah!! I started with one for me. So for day number 1 here it is:

(Sara took the shot)

Erica can see!!!

Erica, we found out, is very visually impaired. So she now gets to wear glasses and boy does she look cute!!! She even does pretty good at leaving them on, except when she is in her high-chair, and then she starts pulling them off if she gets bored.
We can tell already that they make a big difference to her. Yeah!!! Enjoy the pix!
