Wow its been over a year since my last post. And that was to welcome my last grandbaby, Max. So what have I been up too? Organize, organize organize......
Trying to get organized, takes a lot of skill, time and organization. Who knew? LOL
Meanwhile handiwork has taking a back seat to the grandbabies or as I like to call them... The Grands.
Aubri is three, Ava is two and Max is now a year old. What happened to the past year? Busy busy with the Grands, a little bit of health issues and getting used to the idea of my baby leaving the nest.
Yes were empty nesters now. And though I miss having my girls with me all the time its nice to have visits from them all and I still watch the Grands.
Kurt and I have settled into a routine which keeps us pretty busy ourselves and with the addition of several dozen chickens, a new pup, and getting caught up on honey-do's, its seems empty nesting isn't so empty after all.
Plus we always get to see all of our beautiful family.
Baking all bread goods, cooking more and eating out less, making more time for volunteer work is just a few of the changes we've made.
But now I am itching to be stitching!!
Aubri had a her very first dance camp and so she just had to have a cover-up. :) Made one for each of the girls.
Crocheted my first paid item. Modeled by Ava
Plus our assembly is coming up and I fell in love with this vintage pattern. After taking my measurements found I needed to consult a vintage book on how to resize for 2013 body shapes.
A muslin trial later, my first, I wasn`t too far off. So off to try with a closer fabric to my goal fabric. White with black polka dots and a black band and bow at the bottom.
Here are a few more pictures until next time, I bid you farewell.

I finally got to do the digitizing on the bunny. I could have hand embroidered the bunny BUT I wanted it to look nice so that the Mommies would want to use it, not say oh how sweet and put it away somewhere.
I have it here as a pes file but if you need it in another format just let me know and I will convert it! Just click the file you want and it will take to you my 4-shared storage to download the file.
Here is the bunny digitized:
Decided its best to go ahead and get her digitized. Never know what tomorrow is going to bring.
Hopefully later this evening I will get to actually sew it out and show you what it looks like in person. Still new at the digitizing part, so forgive me ahead of time. I use PED Version 6 and I am still at the 'coloring' stage of digitizing. LOL
Be sure to let me know if everything worked alright so I can fix it if necessary!
Until next time!
UpDate:
Digitized a couple more designs to try out. If you have one for me to try and digitize send them to me at my Email address. I will get on them and post to the blog for you.
Here are the new designs. Just click on the name and download from my 4shared files. Be sure to let me know how they turned out by posting pictures please!!
