Sewing for the Fall

Sewing for the fall is always fun. These two outfits are for Kaylee and Mylee the fabric is by Moda.

 Top pattern is by My Favorite Things Little Po Beep, I reversed the top facing to the outside and added ric rac.

 The pants are Bonnie Blue Jillian.

 The pattern for Mylee's top is Children's Corner Callie.

 The pants are Lettie by Children's Corner Patterns and the spider applique is from Planet Applique.

 Boys pants is an adaption of  Britches and Bloomers Pattern

More girl's pants and yes that is a pair of christmas pants included . It will be time to wear them before we even turn around.

Meredith and Anna Mae August 2011.

The internet can be a wonderful thing, well sometimes anyway. For almost 2 years now I have not had a updated picture of my precious granddaughters and look what I just found. We had not seen Anna since she was 7 months old. Isn't she just beautiful! I think she resembles Meredith some, and look at Meredith oh how my heart leaped when I found this picture. Our prayers are still that God will bring our son and his family back into our lives and ask you if you would please pray for our family and that God take control of the hearts of all involved make us all humble, loving and forgiving and bring us together again.

WAR EAGLE and ROLL TIDE Sewing

Football season is here and the time has come to sew, sew, sew as fast as I can before the first kick-off and I made it!!

Oliver and S pattern

This Children's Corner Lucy is made from Fabric Finders fabric and is reversible.

Skirt pattern is one I drafted for the customer. The shirt is appliqued with a design from http://www.appliquemarket.com/.

I just love this romper it turned out really sweet. The pattern is Bonnie Blue Kipp. The appliques are two I merged together from different designers.

Peasant dress is another one I drafted from two different patterns. There last two are for sisters who I know will look so precious on game day. I only need to finish Mylee's Romper and she will be ready for the next game. BTW I can sew Alabama/Roll Tide only because I am not one of those ugly fans who can't be nice aka Poppie! LOL We sure had a close call on Saturday those Tigers scared me! But a win is a win so WAR EAGLE!!!



Kaylee starts preschool

 Wow she will be 5 on September 13th!!! I just can't hardly believe my girls are all growing up old enough to go to school. Of course she isn't old enough to start public 5 yr old kindergarden so we are sending her to a private school. Her mommy is not sure yet if she will attend there next year or go into public school. Her outfit of course is made by me it is hard to tell in this picture but it is an apple print by Sally Henderson and a dot print by Amy Butler that I got on our last trip to the beach from TJ's fabric.

 This is such a sweet picture of them both. Kaylee is really loving to her baby sister, now on the other hand Mylee is such a little bugger, yes I said bugger. Their mom and I talk daily about this little rover and what we need to be doing to improve upon her endless activities of screaming, pitching fits, hitting others (doggy included) this is just one road that we haven't had to venture down so it's been a little rough for us all. Honestly is we didn't love her so much and she wasn't the cutest kid on earth we might just give her back to the stork. lol

This picture brought tears to my eyes, I love that she is getting to play and learn with other children but it is also bittersweet to leave her by herself with strangers and let her really be out by herself in this world away from her mommy and I. Taking care of my grandchildren while their moms work really has brought me closer to them than I think most grandparents get to be. I know she is in a great school with christian loving teachers but the nonnie in me wants her to stay safe in our arms and in our homes where we can protect her. Funny how I am having the same sadness that I had when her mommy started to preschool even thought I went with her, ( I taught two doors down in the 2yr old class).

Fall Sewing

 Isn't he cute! He is going to be on a very cute jumper that friends Ashley and Emily are making for their little niece. Maybe I will get a picture to post later of the finished garment.

 Apples are coming in around here in the local orchards this would be the perfect outfit to wear on a field trip to one of the orchards. Pants are britches and bloomers sewing this time was done by Ashley and Emily, appliqued apple is from embroidery boutique.

 This top pattern is one I just drafted I loved how it turned out and so did my customer.

 Ruffle pants with added jumbo rick rac oh so cute!

Pillowcase jumper is available in 6 months to 10 yrs. Not a very good picture though, but it is really sweet on the child.

Happy 2nd Birthday Mylee Jane!

Mylee turned two years old on Saturday. This little one is the spark in her poppie's eye and the joy in her nonnie's heart. She is so funny, with all her cute facial expressions to her sassy attitude she keeps our lives very full with joy, love and laughter. We had her party at the park and we all agreed it was the best child's birthday party we have had. The children all had a great time playing and the parents could relax too.

Sewing for Sara Avery and New children's corner dress pattern

Will add to post later just putting up pictures now.



Please Pray!

We had several tornadoes and straight line winds come thru Alabama yesterday. Several families have lost homes and business. But much worst there has been many who have losted their life and several still missing. It will be several days before we know the full effects of this storm. Kaylee is walking around with a flash light in her hand she want but it down, bless her heart she even slept holding onto it last night. We are fine just one tree damaged on our property. Our daughter's home is also fine. I haven't heard from Nathan and his family but with the situation like it is I probaly want. I am just praying that they are all safe and sound.  Knox's father lost his office building in downtown Cullman, they had just purchased and finished most of the remodeling. Kiery's family is also fine no damage to their property. We have a gas powered genarator going so we have some power right now. They are saying it may be weeks before all power is restored. Please pray for all who are suffering, It is a very sad day here in Alabama.
