Just a Few Dresses From This Year

Click pic to see detail.

Sorry for the bad pics, my camera has seen better days.

This was Molly's easter dress this year, it's one of my favorite dresses. Made of linen batiste, with crochet lace to entredeux around the neck and sleeves, lace tape shaped bow, and I attached the yoke to the skirt with crochet to entredeux. The hand embroidery is very tiny with itty bity bullion roses .

Love it! Ohh, and I almost forgot the hand pinstiching around the bow....mmmm...so much fun.

Did I mention the sleeves? Little cap sleeves with entredeux and crochet. Love, love, love it!

This dress was for a black and white wedding Molly was in at Christmas. It's made of satin batiste and has silk satin ribbon, entredeux, hand embroidery, and tiny crochet lace to entredeux on the sleeve.

This is what I did this Sunday afternoon after church for Maddie, I like the pleats with the gathers in the front.

I love the tie in the back.

This dress and lil bare feet are more than I can handle.

Gorgeous! That easter dress is exquisite. I don't crochet but that makes me wish I did. I've done it but don't really like it.
I am loving all these dresses.

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :) This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
