HELP!!

So I have tons of projects now and NO sewing machine. They said it will take 7-10 days to repair my mother's machine! I need a machine to feed my addiction to sewing! It's bad I know. I looked at both the thrift stores in the area. Nothing. I looked at prices for a new one and I can't afford $300 right now. I looked on craigslist and they pretty much have antiques and that's it. I don't know where to get a sewing machine around $40! I need one bad!
Thanks

Devistating!!!!

I've been seriously sick the past two days so all I've done is sit around and sew. I was having so much fun with this last dress and was just finishing the hem when... Kenz decided to feed some of her hot dog to Jalie. I paniked! I jumped up from the sewing machine and ran to rescue my child. Jalie was all smiles and thought it was halarious... kenzie was screaming in time out and the machine was on the floor. My mom's machine. Devistating! Yes it's broken. I'll take it to the sears repair shop tomorrow and find out how much it will cost to repair. In the mean time I have no sewing machine and I can't even start saving for my own machine now because I have to fix this one first. Poop!

This is the dress I spent ALL day on... just need to finish the hem!

But the Bright Spots of my day...

good friends

Last week we finally got a chance to see our friends the Bresnahan's. We used to see them more often but since Jalie and Rylan have been here it's been too crazy. We had so much fun making the girls matching tanktops and the boys played video games. Good times! I also got a chance to do Danni's hair and do alittle chit-chatting.

Jalie and Rylan are 4 weeks apart... so cute!

B-day party and more sewing

Kenzie got invited to her friend Jacob's birthday party yesterday. We played with bubbles all day and she loved the tricycle... we are definitely going to have to get one for this summer!

I worked soo hard on this dress! I love it but it's a bit to big! So so so frusterating! Kenz was being a bit of a pill when I asked her to put it on and show me! Nice bed head huh?

Photo Shoot

This morning Kenz wanted to hold her baby sister. JT took these adorable pictures... don't mind the messy hair! Jalie thought her sister was pretty funny!So tonight is night 4 in the big girl bed. 3 out of 4 she has gone right to bed no problems... only wednesday she got out twice. It's been so much easier than i thought it would be. I just hope potty training will go this well!

I honestly cried

Too Big Too Fast!

Today we went and got Kenzie's new big-girl bed. Jalie is too big for the basinet now so it is time to pass the crib on to her. After we bought the new mattress I honestly started crying. JT thought I was crazy but it makes me sooo sad to think about how fast the time passes. Kenzie was our little baby and now she's this big girl with a baby sister and big girl bed. I'm also not sure I'm ready for Jalie to be in a crib yet! Anyways I'm not crazy... just sad that my girls are growing up and I can't stop it!

Fake sleep!!


Good night kisses!

So we said our prayers with her and left the room. I was totally expecting her to come out sometime within the next little bit. I am happy to report that she is fast asleep in her new big girl bed! I hope it continues well!

Coupons Rock!

So I did the couponing thing today for the first time. got $270 worth of groceries for $110. Our pantry and freezer are totally stocked!!


Jalie is growing up too fast! I hate that she is already 3 months old! Little stinker! She can already roll on to her side. She did this the other day when I wasn't looking!


Kenzie has been wearing her dresses! Today was so beautiful we used half a gallon of bubbles with her friends!

Yes she does match her curtains! I love the fabric!

I made this dress this afternoon. My sis and I love this fabric and so I got some today with my 50% off coupon and made this dress in about 1 hour! Love love love it and still have fabric left over to make myself something!

yes...more dresses!

So the dress I stayed up till midnight last night making (the reversable one)was waaayyy to big for Kenz when I tried it on her this morning. So I decided to take her measurements and write them down. NO MORE GUESSING! Maybe it will shrink when we wash it... otherwise we'll have to find a bigger girl to give it away to! SOOO of course I got started right away on one that would be alittle bit more fitting. I had to use different fabric on one side but I think it turned out really cute!



Ok I'm obsessed... I've already admitted it. But we were at Costco today and my mom and I found this really cute dress that we both loved. It was $12.50. I told my her I could totally make one... so I did. It's pretty close and I think this one cost me around 1-2 dollars!! I used less than 1 yard of fabric and I got the fabric on clearance!! It took me abour 3 hours to make start to finish!! So I'm pretty proud of myself.
Now I just have to decide what she's going to show off at church tomorrow!! Or should I say today since it's almost 1 am now!! Good night all!

Okay I'm obsessed!

Here are two more dresses I made today! I made them both from looking at tutorials on peoples blogs but I don't know how to link you there... sorry!
This one is reversable! I love it so much I'm making one for myself!! I hope it will be cute with a white t-shirt and jeans!

I made this one from a short-sleeved men's dress shirt that I got at Value Village today for $3.50. It was super easy and I think it's sooo fun with the buttons down the back!

Oh and Kenzie HATES trying these on... I totally have to bribe her with candy! I'm such a bad mom!

ONE LOOOONG POST!

I have been wanting to do some sewing for the girls for a while now. So I went and grabbed my mom's sewing machine and got to work! Here are the two dresses I've done so far. I love them both but the purple one needs some work!

So i'm starting on another one now... I'll post more pics when I'm done!

Okay call me a slacker blogger...

here are my easter pics... one week later!

Kenz loved her first easter basket! Went right for the candy!!

All dressed up from church. Dad is missing in all these pics because he worked 16 hours on Easter... we love him!

EGGS!! She loved finding the eggs and having zero competition!!



Jalie is getting sooo big! 3 months old already!!
NOW>>> For your viewing pleasure...

I always love to see other people's kids throw fits... then I know it's not just my kid. So to all my fellow frusterated mothers... YES my kid throws tantrums every day! Aren't I lucky!! Haha

This was our song for our wedding. It brings back so many memories! I still feel the same way baby... I wanna be your EVERYTHING!

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew

I would do anything thing for you

The first time you touched my face I felt

What I've never felt with anyone else

I wanna give back what you've given to me

And I wanna witness all of your dreams

Now that you've shown me who I really am

And I wanna be more than just your man

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails

Be the hand that lifts your vail

Be the moon that moves your tides

And the sun coming up in your eyes

Be the wheel that never rusts

And be the spark that lights you up

All that you been dreaming of and more

So much more I wanna be your everything
