busy day in the yard

Filed under: Sewing, around the house — admin at 8:29 pm on Sunday, April 20, 2008

My life has been basically consumed with yard work and sewing. I like it.

The whole family was out today trimming bushes, raking, making fairy soup, and lots of teasing done by dear Simon.

I had to show this cute skirt I made out of a vintage tablecloth. (Hillary, do you recognize it?) No pattern needed, just used a basic shape of one of Pep’s dresses and added elastic. I think I may need to make more! Oh, and yes perhaps she is due for some new t-shirts. Looks like little Miss has grown!

Thanks for all of your supportive comments on my last post. I knew I am in company with those that have been through it or are dealing with it now. It’s nice to have a place to speak your mind. Thanks for listening. My biggest lesson I am trying to teach Ellie is to confront those that are being mean. To get enough courage and plainly ask “Why are you ________?” I think this combats bullying and knocks their socks off! And of course just loving her.
