Well, since we got sick very shortly after returning from our week long vacation I haven't done much in the projects department. I did however manage to sneak in a few things here and there.
Since we recieved 2 new members to the Mousie family we immediately had to make them some beds. I could only manage to come up with one of the twins when I snapped these pics so the other will just have to remain uncelebrated. :) The point was to show you the 2 cribs we whipped out the other day. I still want to paint them white and make the bedding, but here they are as is...
I sewed a little dress with attached diaper for the girl one. The babies are soo tiny it is very tricky to sew anything for them. The hand is there for size comparison...please ignore the fact that I really needed some lotion (I had just finished sanding the cribs).
And here is the first of several dresses I have on my to-do list. Some are for Kate and some are for friends/relatives. I managed to whip this up in the first couple days home before the kids and I and Mr. Wise Guy got sick and things got way behind around here. I think I'm finally back to the point of breaking out the fabric again...or at least pretty close to it. The house still needs a little work, but it pretty much always does so I can't say that will hold me back. :)
My model was very cooperative as she wanted to see the pics of herself. Plus she found out how fun it is to twirl in a full skirt. I love the way this dress turned out so I hope the rest come out just as good...Minus the horrible mistake I made. I was on the finishing stretch and was trying to be extra careful with the serging but still managed to catch a big chunk of the skirt in the serger leaving an awful gaping hole in it. Thankfully it is such a full skirt and the ties are very BIG so was able to sneak in an extra seam that is very unnoticable.
