another dresser

Okay I finished the other dresser for the girl's room. It turned out super cute! It was a cream color with gold trim before. It was pretty ugly. Now it totally fits the room!

Kenzie has been treating all her baby dolls and stuffed animals like real babies lately. It so cute. She changes the diapers and swaddles them and rocks them to sleep.
for those of you who don't follow my sister's blog... i have the cutest nephews ever!! here are her most recent pics! they live in idaho so we rarely see them, i miss them so much!


Landen is 16 months


and Logan is almost 4! i can't believe how big he is!
I'm finishing a dress I made for Kandis tonight. I'm really excited to send it to her and post a pic of her in it!

Re-style

So my mother gave me this beautiful shirt that she's too small for now that she's getting all skinny. I made a cute dress for Kenz... i really hope it fits her! I want to go get her out of bed to try it on right now!

Before
After (don't know why both pictures are crooked!)



Here are two more that I recently finished:

This is the most detail I've done on any one project so far.






K this one is not the cutest on the hanger but it's really cute on her

I have cute kids!

Sorry to brag but yeah my kids are cute... haha here are a few fun pics from this week

Kenz playing with the neighbor kids... Camilla and Jimmy (i don't know what happened to the bottom of the pic?)


Kenzie reading Lion King to her sister (it was hot... kenz wouldn't wear clothes)
Jalie got cereal just a couple hours ago for the first time. She was mad at first because she was starving (or so she thought) and just wanted mommy's milk but then she realised it was food and was all for it! Her little look at the end was priceless! (the bib has stains on it from Kenz, I wasn't feeding her chocolate!)


Projects

I refinished a free dresser... it's not quite done yet, I need to get more pink for the bottom. Kenz loves the ABC's. It looks really good in their room so far. Now I need to do the other dresser and hutch to match somehow...???











I have been using our dining room table for all my sewing projects. I never put the stuff away because I'm always working on something. Well it just looked so junky so I put it in our bedroom. We never used it to eat on anyways...so now our dining area is where all the baby stuff goes. Now our living room looks much less cluttered!!



Jalie's first outfit made by mommy! Its so cute on her... and still alittle big so hopefully it will last through the summer. The only reason I haven't made much for her is cuz i know she'll grow out of it fast and she has sooo many hand-me-downs from Kenz....it's not because I don't love her!! ha ha I was feeling guilty for only making Kenz dresses!

Showing off the bloomers....my first pair and they are totally cute!!

I made my grandma an apron in home ec class in jr high. She uses it all the time and it's sooo ugly! So her birthday is this month and I made her a new one! It turned out so pretty. Completely reversable. I hope she likes it! Here's the online tutorial I used.

I'm trying it on for size!

Lake Tapps

We went to Lake Tapps on Wednesday with our friends the Bresnahans. It was stinkin hot out but we had fun. JT needs to learn how to put sun screen on more evenly! ha ha we had a good time!



First Hike

My mom got great deals on two hiking packs for the girls to ride in. She got one for $17 and the other for $6. They are origionally $170 and $180. So we decided to try them out on Tuesday. We went to cedar river and it was more of a walk than a hike but at least we got to enjoy the sun and the beautiful river. I'm really going to miss the green of washington... how can you not love it???

When the sun comes out...

We love to play! I am soooo glad that the weather is finally nice! it's been in the 70's and we are loving it! I haven't sewn much and my house is a disaster area because all we've done is hang out outside for the last few days! Last Thursday I went with a friend to Les Grove park and Kenz did everything to avoid the water while I sat with the baby and got my back FRIED!! I'm still hurting! Then on Friday we stayed inside and took naps after my procedure (which was no big deal!) On Saturday we went out to Leavenworth and spent the day playing in the pool (Kenzie HATED the water and Jalie LOVED it!) at the resort and walking around downtown Leavenworth enjoying all the cool shops with Kerianne and Ethan! Then on Sunday after JT and I talked in Sacrament (I did horrible by the way!) we went to my parents house for a bbq and we sat outside for hours! My dad filled up the kiddie pool and it took Kenz like an hour or more to warm up to getting in. She will hopefully get over this fear of new water experiences soon so we can enjoy our summer! I hope you don't get too bored of all the pics. I took like almost a hundred this weekend so it's hard to narrow it down to my favs!


Les Grove Park:


Leavenworth Resort:
Sorry ladies... he's mine!

Town of Leavenworth: All Scandinavian mountain town



It was a long day...
