Rico's Shirt Dress

I am DYE-ING, I have lots to post, but our darn Internet has been chewed up by squirrels!

Wish I was joking...ha ha.

But I am hijacking a neighbors Internet connection this morning to quickly write this post and show you what I came up with for the So Sew Challenge.

The theme was ORANGE.

I used an old men's shirt (that happened to be our uncle Rico's) to make Bergs another version of the shirt dress:

More pictures about it to come soon, I was working with yet another uncooperative model this morning...haha!

Happy Halloween, hopefully I can post our pictures next week?!

Up Where They Walk (The Pumpkins That is...)

We went to the pumpkin walk last Friday night.

It was super cute and not too cold!

I'm glad we went last week because today Northern Utah got hit with SNOW! eek!

Bergs really loves pumpkins and kept pointing them out every 5 seconds... Pummmkin!

Cute Daddy/Bergs photo op...

Ariel and I have a lot in common ... well ok not really I can't sing nor do I have her luscious hair...

I'm also pulling a really sick face, which I apologize heavily for...

Speaking of sick, I found this masterpiece last night:

It's our first pumpkins we painted when we were dating...

Adam literally his pumpkin from a guy's picture on the front page of the newspaper and mine is frankenstein. 

Tender, don't you think? ha ha jk!

The Circus, Circus Purse

As you maybe remember I have been participating in the So Sew Challenges.

This weeks theme word was circus.

We have been watching a lot of Dumbo lately and Bergs is really into purses so I combined both of them, making one fabulous CIRCUS CIRCUS PURSE!

I had some really cute felt (I'm a lover of it lately) and so I just drew up a quick pattern and top stitched everything...seriously, it was quick and fun!

I should've been better at a play-by-play but if anyone is really interested I will put together a pattern.

Did I mention the inside pocket and snap?

(She's really looking for her fruit snacks, it's how you bribe your child to take cute photos)

 See ya, we gots some shopping to do!

Family Play By Play

This is my whole family, and boy do I love 'em!

This is the name play-by-play, just so you can get to know them better.

Come see how we've grown, HERE.

Oh, Happy Day!

It's Friday Yahoo! So many fun things to be excited about...

First, make some cookie dough and FREEZE it over night, so you can make some of THESE DELICIOUS TREATS! (yum! yum!)

Also I will be doing a BOUTIQUE at a gorgeous HIGHMARK HOME in Nibley, come stop by and get started on your Christmas shopping!

Lastly, we have visitors coming, crafting to do, and some Birthday's to celebrate, so WE ARE GONNA HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME (I GOT A FEELIN'.)

Have a great weekend!

Poodle Skirt Round-UP

Last year I helped my nieces become a BEAUTIFUL BEE & LADY BUG...

This year they wanted POODLE SKIRTS for HALLOWEEN, and since today is the first day of their UEA break, we went to town...

And because everything is cuter in miniature versions, I made one for Bergs as well...

It was pretty simple and took us less than two hours to make four skirts (two for BIG GIRLS and two for BABY GIRLS)

I was going to take some pictures of the process but I was having too much fun...so here's a break down to help you if you are looking to make a poodle skirt...

Scarf is a strip of CHIFFON

All of the skirts were made for less than 10 dollars....makes for one great costume!

(Felt is on a killer sale at Jo-Ann's in TONS of colors.)

Bergs costume is still in the works, I will give you a sneak peek until I am done.

I have been watching Project Runway too much and decided to make it from scratch...WISH ME LUCK!
