This Is What I've Been Sewing

Molly drew me a penguin and wrote "I love mama" underneath. I loved the penguin so much I decided to put it on a shirt for her. She was so amazed that her drawing was on a shirt! She tells everybody "I designed this shirt, want me to draw you one?", she's so sweet. I know it's dirty, she was outside playing when I took this picture. I have been making ornaments and I think I'm addicted. Hehe! I just think they are so cute. The one with "mama" on it is going to be a little apron.

I like to do my kids a Christmas shirt every year, you know the applique tree or snowman with the monogrammed name underneath. I just wanted something a little different, so I decided to add beads and sequins (Kim I will talk to you about this later- I know I've got it comin). I gave it a try on an ornament. What do you think, too much? Molly's Thanksgiving dress. I made hers a little different than Maddie's, I criss-crossed the yoke. Then I made little yo yo flowers to coordinate with the piping. The pattern is Frannie. Maddie's Thanksgiving dress. They looked so sweet in these dresses with little brown shoes and cream colored tights. So cute! I had to add this picture. My boy now has the job of bringing in the wood. He fills the wagon, pulls it inside, unloads it by the wood burning stove, and hauls the wagon back out, not bad for a three year old eh? He told me today when I was thanking him, "mama, I takin care o yew wiwe daddy werk", I could just eat him!
