Sewing- Getting Ready for Kids Clothes Week

One of the things I zone out to is sewing. I really like to sew quite a bit, and there's been quite a few adorable things I've sewn up for my kids.

And so I decided to join up with the Kid's Clothes Week challenge for this spring. It starts this Monday. I need to sew up some shorts and spring/ summer clothes for Darling Daughter one. She has lots of fall/ winter stuff but not really very much spring/ summer stuff. Not a single pair of shorts, and only a few t-shirts. So obviously those are on the list. Here's some of the stuff I've sewed up for the girls...

And would you have it, that's the only pic I've taken of one of my children running around in something I made them on the dSLR... Well, that's gotta change, cuz I've made them plenty of cute stuff...

Join me with Kids Clothes Week, please? There's nothing like some nice big sewing challenges to motivate oneself to clean out the closet :)

Easter Pics Part Two

OK, so the top photo on here I've already put up on this blog, in the post about darling daughter's crazy hair. But these are actually closer to Easter Pics than what I had posted before. These are from a couple days after Easter, when darling daughter number one's rash had pretty much just disappeared. I got them dressed up cute and headed over to my mom's (she has way more widnows than I do) and started snapping away.

Easter Pics Part One

I have a confession to make. I didn't take any pictures of the girls on Easter. Darling daughter number one had a cold sore from earlier in the week. And it turns out cold sores do weird things to little kids. Like make them break out in a huge rash all over their little bodies.

So I went to church with darling daughter number two by myself, and taught our Sunday School class (dear hubby and I teach the 16 year olds) with the baby in this gorgeous ring sling I made for her. 

These pictures were just before her birthday when she turned two. The days aren't very long in February, unfortunately, so the light was a little bit challenging but we made it work. Tomorrow I'll post the baby's photos.

Trampoline Fun

Yesterday I posted a photo for a challenge that I took of darling daughter #1 a few weeks ago.

We had so much fun that day! And she figured out how to jump on the trampoline with both feet that day too.

I heart faces photo challenge- Wind

OK, OK, I know it isn't really wind in the traditional sense. But darling daughter #1 just does such an awesome job in creating her own wind when she's jumping around all over the place. We had so much fun outside that day.

The Impossible Sibling Portrait

I have tons and tons of pictures of my two darling daughters. I'm getting amazing photos of them all the time (I even have two larger than life photos of each one of them hanging on the wall). But there really aren't that many photos of them both together.

Why? Because it's next to impossible to get a nice one of both girls together.

Either the youngest puts her head down and sucks on her thumb, or the oldest does all sorts of things.

Like pick her nose...

Roll up in my backdrop...

Grab her feet and move all around...

You get the picture.

But every now and then I get a gem, like this one right after the pic with darling daughter one digging for gold:

My Daughters's Hair

I absolutely love the hair my daughters have been blessed with.
 
My oldest has all these crazy curls. When she gets up from naps, goodness it is SO intense. I have no clue how she got them, but she has a lot of them, and they are beautiful.
 
 My youngest daughter doesn't really have a lot of hair. Yet. But it is very thick and dark and beautiful. It's too early to tell if it will be crazy and curly, but I certainly hope it is. I'm also pleased to say it is much more hair than her sister had at this age.
