Happy July 4th

Happy July 4th from my family to yours.

We are having a wonderful day and I hope that you and your family are, too.

While the guys were golfing us girls set up the camera on the tripod and snapped a few pictures.  I had 10 seconds to hit the button and run get in the picture.

Little Outfit

I just had to make Sloan a little outfit for her upcoming vacation.  I bought this fabric a while back and have been keeping it until I could sew.  The color is so pretty but I'm not sure what to call the color.  It's not purple and it's not eggplant.  It's just a pretty color.

If you see straight pins in my shabby rosettes that's because I have not really finished them.  I will have to do that tomorrow.  I googled "toddler skirt patterns" and I found this one.  It is very simple ( which I love).  You can find the tutorial HERE.

Then I went to work on a matching top.  I have been wanting to use the tank tops that I bought so I grabbed the white one.  I used the same fabrics as in the skirt.  Then I pulled the green color out of the main pattern and used a green thread for the monogramm.  It shows up well on the dark fabric.

TA-DA!

A complete outfit for my little grand baby girl.

XOXO,

Red, White & Blue

If you were to visit my house this week you would see a lot of Red, White & Blue.  We are getting ready for a Big 4th of July!  I hope you are getting ready, too.  None of my decorations are breath-taking or designer style but they are just what we like at our house and most of what you would see has been done by me.  So enjoy the humble tour of my patriotic decorations.

How does your family celebrate the 4th of July?

Happy Tuesday!

XOXO,

Karen



Baby Kaleb and Baby Elizabeth

This will be an almost wordless post as I have spent the last 30 hours with my children and grand children.  We had the most fun ever and I am exhausted :)  I wanted to share a few things that I stitched last week for two sweet babies. 

I made burp cloths and onesies for them. 

Have a wonderful Sunday!

XOXO,

Karen
