A hard habit to break

I have a habit..... sewing! Oh the piles of projects and fabric I own. There are so many cute ideas I can't wait to try out. If I have spare time, you will see me on the good old Bernina. Thank goodness I have girls to sew for because truthfully there is not that much to do for boys.

A few months ago I saw a darling dress in the window of a boutique and thought, I can make that! ( I posted it in an earlier post) I love the way it turned out. Savannah looks precious in it with a pink bow and pink shoes to match. You can't see it very well, but the pink tulle under the stripes is a fun detail. I wish I had more time to make a coordinating dress for Madison so they could wear them on Easter. Someday when my kids don't need me as much I would love to go into business. I have done small orders here and there. I love making others happy with my creations.
I made this skirt for a friend and decided to keep it, I just LOVE red. I think the flower on the shirt is too big but oh well.I copied this idea from a VERY CREATIVE friend, then found this fabric at Material Girls and walah, a fun summer outfit.
I had to throw these ones in for Grandma. She can sit up now!

Taco cake

Now that McKay is a scout, we were able to attend the annual Blue and Gold dinner in our ward( back in Feb.) The theme was fiesta, and the boys were assigned to decorate a cake for a contest. We chose to make a taco cake! I thought it turned out so cute. The lettuce is died coconut, the cheese is orange Starbursts, and the tomatoes are Nibs. He even won an award!
