I know, I know...

I have been gone for a while! It's been busy around here and I feel like I am spinning my wheels! I am getting ready for some upcoming holiday shows and I have been filling the occasional order. I also made some stuff for my own kids! Here's Ella showing some good oral hygiene in a new outfit that she wore for about 6 days straight! I guess she likes it! (I did wash it in between!) This is a donation for Sacred Heart School's Octoberfest.

Birthday gift for Maleah's friend!

This was an order for a first birthday! I thought it turned out cute! It was fun to put it together!

Hopefully, I will get to a post tomorrow. The girls danced at a festival over the weekend and I have some good pictures!

Ella's first day of school

Ella started school this past week. We were unsure how she would do being left all day. She pleasantly surprised us and did great! Not even a whimper when I left! She had a great time and is looking forward to going back next week. I thought I had a picture of her with her teacher, Miss Heather, but I didn't get one! That will have to come later.

Here is Maleah that same day in a new top I made her. I ate lunch with her that day and all the little girls were complimenting her on it! It's definitely one of my favorites!

Another "great" birthday!

Happy Birthday Sofia!
My great niece Sofia is turning one today! I made this little tutu and onesie for her so that hopefully she'll feel like a little princess on her special day.

The onesie may look a little wonky, but I pinned it to the form because I didn't want to stretch it out!

The First Day of First Grade

Yesterday, Maleah started first grade at a new school! She was very excited, but a bit nervous. She did just great though. Here she is at her desk. She was disappointed that the desks were pushed together like a table. She didn't feel like she had her own desk! This is her teacher! She seems to be very sweet and other parents have told us she's an excellent teacher!

Ella was excited also. She begins next week!

Getting ready for the day with lots of hugs from Mom and Dad.

I made her this skirt for the first day. I think it turned out so cute. Major twirl factor!

I just couldn't resist

I had to take this picture! Isn't it so cute? I want you all to know there is not a diaper underneath that pretty little dress! Ella is officially a big girl! Fancy Nancy would be proud! (She has her ankles crossed, not wonky feet)

Messy, but cute.

Taking turns jumping off the stool.

Daddy would be having a heart attack!

School starts on Monday, so there is some excitement around here. I've been sewing up some school wardrobes! Pictures to come!

Taking the plunge

Isn't this what summer is all about? :)

The Princess Turns 6!

WOW! I cant' believe it's been six years! Check out this super cute castle cake! I wish I had made it! It was so sweet and yummy! A Nintendo DS! Just what she always wanted!

Trying out the new scooter.

Thanks everybody for all of the sweet gifts and wishes! It was such a fun day and I think Maleah had such a great time. I am already gearing up for November!
