Dresses, Dresses and More Dresses

Saturday Malaina, Skylyn and I went to the Factory to pick up a new Ariel Jibbet for Malaina's croc (Cinderella's head fell off). While we were there I went into a store and was talking to the owner about my pillowcase dresses and she wanted to see some samples. I have a meeting with her on Wednesday. I didn't have any spare dresses so I worked hard all weekend and made 12 dresses for her to look at. Marty entertained the girls while I made dress after dress. Thank goodness I have a "sewing" room now!

Here are some of the dresses that I busted out!

Fathers Day

The girls are so lucky to have such a great Dad!

Here are some pictures from today...

Grrr...

So excited!!!

As many of you know (or all of you know) I have been sewing / embroidering for the past couple of years. I have had my Mom's machine in my dining room for the past year and a half and I am happy to announce I now I have sewing table!!! I will post more pictures when I get the room fully decorated, which may be this weekend. I have all of the stuff. My Mom and I got pictures at yard sales (the table and chair are also from a yard sale); I got some frames from Kohls for 80% off plus an additional 30%. I am just so happy to be able to leave everything out and not have to worry about the mess or the kids getting into it!!!

I must give props to Gramps for the table. This table was actually a coffee table, but he put on new legs for me and viola, presto-chango it is a table! My Mom got the chocolate brown paint for Maddie's bed, but I have put it to good use as well. I have painted...a side table, a dresser, shelves, the chair and the legs to the table (oh, and Maddie's bed). I think Gramps and Marty will be happy when yard sale season is over.

Lilly Belle

Aunt B brought over Lilly Belle last night. The girls were going crazy with her. I have never seen them act so wild. They were chasing her around, calling her Scooter and putting her in all of their toys (well, Actually Aunt B did that). Skylyn doesn't usually like dogs, but since Malaina LOVES Lilly Belle so does Sky. Poor Avett, hopefully Malaina will learn to love him. I told Brandy she should have told Malaina that he was a girl.

More "animal" sounds

What does a Monkey say?

Boom Boom Pow

Yard Sale Slide

I think my Mom is just as addicted to yard sales as me! She is great to yard sale with...she brings snacks, is always on time and has a GPS!

She bought the girls this slide at a yard sale on Saturday. They love it. They will just go out back and play with it until we bring them back in. It is too hot to stay out too long.

Ta Da!!

Maddie's Valance

Here is the valance I made for Madison's room. I love it! I hope she does.

Ballet

Today is Malaina's first day of ballet. She is so excited!
