The cutest thing today

The cutest thing I've seen today is my little man waving bye-bye! Precious! He had been experimenting this week, watching his hand as he went. The last couple of days you could tell he started understanding what he was doing. Today he has waved at everybody! Of course, he is smiling when he waves. If that isn't cute enough, just wait til he starts blowing kisses!

    Hi! I took pictures of baby girl off my post this AM as hubby's not comfy with her pic being on the web. I will repost pic of just the dress & cape when I get time.

    About sewing, there are many great beginner projects out there I have seen in fact I'm going to do some for baby girls' summer wardrobe. You can do a Google search for these or wait for me to do a post, but try "Pillowcase dress" "T-shirt dress" and Fleece jumpers. Pillowcase dress is a cute sundress out of a pillowcase, gathered elastic front/back necklines and ribbon shoulder ties. T-shirt dress takes a girls' t-shirt, cut off bottom 6 inches and adds gathered fabric at the bottom to make a cute easy dress. Fleece jumpers are easy & simple to build a winter wardrobe. Fleece and jersey(t-shirt material) are the easiest things to sew(in my opinion) as these fabrics don't fray and they don't require ironing.

    I find if I keep sewing as a hobby I enjoy it more than if I force myself to depend on it for a whole wardrobe. Start with small projects that are a blessing. Try a no sew project for your girls' birthdays, a fleece blanket. I have one posted under my baby blankets. Let me know if you're interested, I'll give you instructions. You can do it! Keep it fun. Blessings!

    Marie: Thanks for the encouragement, As soon as I find time I will explore some of those ideas! :)

    Tiffany: He's a big boy! I may have to think about starting another blog for that purpose. I think I even have just the name for it. Now for the time!

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
