Svea Renae

Announcing Svea Renae!!

She was born April 21 at 3:35 pm weighing 7 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long

She sleeps a lot, is a quiet natured baby and all is well at home. The other three children are adjusting well and I just have to show off some pictures!!

My two year old just got his first real haircut - since he's no longer my baby, i allowed him a big boy hair cut. It is truly amazing how much he now looks identical to his older brother at the same age. We pulled out an old photoalbum and the two year old could not tell those were not pictures of himself in the older child's book.

Picture Troubles

I'm making a second post this evening because I'm having a hard time getting all of my pictures posted. (blogger is not liking me this evening)

Here's more of what I've been working on instead of playing on the internet.

The skirt is from the Redondo pattern, it twirls like there's no tomorrow. Every girl needs a twirly skirt - I'm going to be making one of these in "my little pony" fabrics with a matching top to wear to the My Little Pony Tea Party that we have tickets to in early May. The top is a tried and true halter top pattern from last summer, not sure the pattern maker, i only have my handy tracing left of it.

The angels are made on my new embroidery machine - two sheets of disolvable stabilizer and a free download http://mars.oesd.com/angeloffer/ It takes about an hour for each one to stitch out, but they are very pretty.

Whole Month!

Where has the time gone? It's been a month since I've logged into here. I've done a LOT of sewing. Here's some pics.

I made two serger puff quilts - all work done on my new Janome serger. Really a fast way to quilt, I wouldn't have the paitence for anything too time consuming or tedious. My sister and I made the blue one together.

The baby dress is a reversible sundress from the Sew Baby pattern. I plan to make lots of these! They are fast and fun, plus cute and can be made in bitty baby and four year old sizes to match :)

The hat and baby gown are a big three pattern, can't think of which one - but I now have the New Conceptions Baby Essentials pattern all lined up to start sewing on as soon as this little girl comes out and off my sciatic nerve ;)
