More Projects: I've been busy

 First, I hemmed Derek's pants. I was quite pleased that I actually did a somewhat straight line. Yes, somewhat... Still working on that. Only like 5 more pairs of pants to go. It took me a while, and I only had to watch the YouTube video like 10 times, but I'm figuring this sewing stuff out, and I'm enjoying it!

Here is the project I am currently working on. Our Halloween costumes! Hopefully I can turn this pile of fabric into "The Flinstones" family. It is for certain not going to be anything fancy, I'll just be lucky to have our bodies covered, but it was cheap and I'm hoping for the best. Pictures will come around Halloween time. I've got a lot to do to finish!

This next project was super fun! I got this tulling for .75 cents per yard.

 I then created these two beauties!

 I love the internet. You can find just about anything you want. These tutu's were so easy to make. I just cut up the tulle and then tied it onto a ribbon and wallah! Eden loves it and so do I!

After I finish the halloween costumes I'm going to look up how to make Kael a superman cape. I feel bad I haven't made anything fun for him and I don't want to leave him out. It should be a fun project!

My 2011 Projects

I got started on our winter hats a little earlier this year. I finished one for Kael and Eden, but haven't done any for Derek or I yet. I have found a couple awesome patterns and I'm excited to see what I can create this year. I went with brimmed hats for the kids and I'm liking them that I know I want one for me and Derek now. I think I will make one more for each kid too. I want a button flowered beanie with scallops for Eden, and another regular hat for Kael. I've got my work cut out for me! However, before I do the rest of the beanies I am going to sew halloween costumes for our entire family. "Wish me luck as this is a first for me." I found all the material I need for less than $30 for all of us combined... I am hoping it will be awesome. But, we will see. Then, I found some super cheap tulling at JoAnn's and bought a bunch to make tutu's for Eden. I'm kicking myself for not buying enough to make myself a tutu. I've always wanted one. Sigh... Serious too! I figure I'd get a lot of stares though so I resisted. I'm getting excited for my projects. This month is going to be busy! Yay!

 Kael's hat

 Eden's hat. It was suppose to have a button, but it was too big for the flower, so I'll put it on another hat.
