Last Saturday my goal was to make the girls a dress for Church. Well, it didn't work out that way. My goal then was to do them on Monday. That didn't happen either. I wanted a peasant style dress. I wanted just a straight dress with no yoke or waist. Anyway so I over-thought the pattern making process and then started dreading making the pattern. Today I overcame my dis-pare and made it. IT WAS SO EASY...I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS STRESSING! I took me 3 hours to make two different size patterns and make 3 dresses. Toooooo easy. Anyway the girls have new dresses to wear to church tomorrow and after I posted them on my FB page I sold quite a few of them, so Yea Me!! Now I guess you want to see pictures right.... here you go.

This one is for Sarah Beth....real girly.

Nella Brook's....cute for a little 2 year old.

Emily's.....she 10 now, so she has to wear things that make her look older.

Now its time for me to chill for a few hours and head to bed. I've got a few more ideas I'm going to work on for next week. Also I'm considering doing a tutorial...what do you think? Please let me know.

Here in North Alabama today has been a dark rainy day. Even though all we have seen in the last month is water (or some form of it) I am going to make the best of it. Every day is a blessing. Sooooooo......this morning school was delayed 2 1/2 hours (my oldest son who is a senior is still in public school) so I decided I was going to make homemade cinnamon rolls. I did wake up a little late so Matthew will have to wait until he gets home from school to have his. They looked and tasted awesome. Just what I needed to get me through another wet day.

Yummy!!                                                



Then I decided to make an apron that I picked up at Wal-Mart yesterday. Too cute, I tell you.




So...I have had a very full day. It's 4:00 here in Alabama, still raining,today is my nieces 10th birthday (Happy Birthday Emily!!!!), and I'm ready for a nap:) So, for everyone that is tried of the snow, ice and rain, just make the best of it and enjoy your day. God Bless!!!
