More Flowers!


I've been making hair flowers again. They look so sweet in Molly and Maddie's hair! I can use them on my sweaters too, I just work the prongs of the alligator clip between the threads and they look so cute. It makes me so happy to have a little stash of them around! They work well for so many things, I plan on clipping them to the FOE headbands too....happiness. :)


I really miss sewing and designing, but these little projects are keeping me busy for now. I have a few "little designs" that I've been wanting to work on and I'm hoping I can start on them soon. I've started feeling much better in the last few days as my body has begun to adjust to the new preterm labor medicine (Procardia). The side effects are wearing off little by little so I hope to get a little time in at the machine! 


I can't believe that Christmas is so close! I had grand sewing and crafting plans for Christmas this year, but with all that has been going on I've had to let go of most of them.....there is just no sense in adding stress this year, a healthy baby is much more important, and the handmade gifts can wait. 


It looks like we have a full weekend ahead of us, celebrating Christmas with family and friends, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend too! I'll be back next week with Christmas tree pictures. xo, Sam

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

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
