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!

Random thoughts

*Be careful when looking for information or you will end up at the mall yelling into your cell phone to your father-in-law, "No, F-U...."
(I was trying to spell fuego to him and he kept asking "S-U...?". The store attendant thought it was pretty funny, too)

*Did you know Frecken street is between First street and Third street?
(yet another cell phone conversation((but not with my f-i-l)))

*The saddest and funniest thing in the world is a baby trying to poop when their poop is a bit hard. (they half walk, half squat, and scream and cry and turn red in the face and hold their breath and then come to you for comfort and help) (you know what I mean if you are a m0m)

*Nothing says spring like laundry hanging on the line to dry,( and it drys and not freezes.)

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it was my birthday last week and yes I was VERY sick. Not fun!! But on the other hand I got to have cake and ice cream for breakfast because not everyone was going to be around later and we did my celebrating in the morning. This is the yummy!!! ice cream cake Doug made for me. ( he does it every year!) (notice the + sign, I had got the 33 for his cake) ( so yes it says 33 + 1) on it. The kids loved that. The best thing of all was my presents. The girls all got me various wonderful, thoughtful, gifts they picked out themselves (thank goodness for the dollar store), and my hubby came through with flying colors and got me the legos game Indiana Jones and the star wars saga!!!!!!! I love legos games on the xbox. Clara and I play for hours. (Yes, we are junkies) He also claims he got me lazier pointing scissors ( they have yet to come in the mail) ( but it would be so cool if they ever did!!!!)
