Great Deal & Sewing Project

The kids and I went to Walmart today to pick up a double coupon paper and some children's medicine. While wandering around, I found some really great deals on clothes for Teeny. I decided I wanted to share it with since it was so good. I bought her two dresses with shirts, two skirts with leggings and one pair of pants. The original total price for them was $47, but I only paid $10! Each item was clearanced to $2 each. I bought 3 items in the 4T size and 2 items in 3T. Teeny can wear the 3T now, but it's just a little bit big. (That's actually how she prefers her clothes to fit.) Here's a picture of the clothes.



So, in November, I think, during playgroup we decided to start working on a sewing project. As you can imagine with the holidays, things got crazy, and we didn't get to finish. If I had any sewing background besides quilts, I may have been able to finish it on my own. However, since I wasn't sure what I was doing and had never worked with knit fabric before, I didn't even attempt to work on it on my own. Plus, my machine doesn't have the correct stretch stitch that I needed. Last Tuesday, I went to my friend's house (the one who is teaching me and helping me) and was able to finish the majority of the shirt. Here is the picture of how it looks so far. We are going to add an inside collar and some fabric to the bottom of the shirt to add some length. I will post a picture of the final product when we get it finished. And, yes, it is for Teeny. (This post has made me realize that I need to work on making/finding stuff for Monster. He has about 1/2 as many clothes as Teeny!)

In December I finished hemming my curtains into valences. I've been toying with the idea of making an apron but I don't think I'd have it done by next Wed when I need it for a party. I absolutely abhor sewing sleeves. Its so hard!

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
