Usually we do it on a Friday. They gather up their blankets and pillows and cushions and stuffies and drag them all in front of the tv and make a nest. </span><br />

I've been dealing with some "fun" personal stuff but sunny days are ahead of us.</div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PJBeeQCyTSA/TrKgT7BE9KI/AAAAAAAAAqI/Yx2IEjHSntA/s1600/IMG_9169.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PJBeeQCyTSA/TrKgT7BE9KI/AAAAAAAAAqI/Yx2IEjHSntA/s400/IMG_9169.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670771144933045410" /></a>Halloween is always one of my favorite times of year. I absolutely love making this kids their costumes. This year Luke decided he wanted to dress up as my brother in his Navy uniform. So I didn't really make any of his costume, just sewed the patches on. For August we picked Olivia. And after a poll on Facebook we went with the classic storybook Olivia over the new tv show Olivia. I made every piece of her costume and I'm really proud of the way it came out!<br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_pfUpszaoNU/TrKga_rhWNI/AAAAAAAAAqU/v_cbzHUB9bs/s1600/IMG_9183.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_pfUpszaoNU/TrKga_rhWNI/AAAAAAAAAqU/v_cbzHUB9bs/s400/IMG_9183.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670771266443892946" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div>Luke's school does a Halloween parade in the afternoon through the neighborhood and then they have their class parties. Unfortunately I didn't get a ton of pics because I was trying to keep August from running in the street.

We are settled into a routine of park and pool every day and when I change it up Luke doesn't love it. It has been so sweltering hot though this week that we haven't made the trek to the sand park we usually go to. The mile and a half round trip walk is just too much for the kids in the 100+ degree heat. So this week we've changed up the park part of our excursions to go to the <a href="http://www.crystalcity.org/go/crystal-city-water-park">Crystal City Water Park</a> in the mornings. It's not like a water park with slides and pools. More like a fountain park. But it's right down the street from us and the walk is mostly in the shade.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fIs3qtTfh7I/Tigl_xDjr1I/AAAAAAAAAn0/uANhXfDC8Ns/s1600/IMG_7961a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fIs3qtTfh7I/Tigl_xDjr1I/AAAAAAAAAn0/uANhXfDC8Ns/s400/IMG_7961a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631793111457050450" border="0" /></a>And bonus for Mama....we pass a Starbucks :) People let their kids play in the water of these fountains but I'm not too into that. Would you let your kids get in?<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gfih9HYZhCE/TigmRuo9oWI/AAAAAAAAAn8/nOvSnuTlQEE/s1600/IMG_7965.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gfih9HYZhCE/TigmRuo9oWI/AAAAAAAAAn8/nOvSnuTlQEE/s400/IMG_7965.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631793420046279010" border="0" /></a>They do different events in the park, like morning meditation and Friday night wine parties.

August was totally enamored with all of the bikes and every time she'd see a pack of them she'd get so excited and yell "Go! Go!" So on Sunday for the big ride she got decked out in her Harley gear and if it hadn't been so hot she would've been wearing her Frye motorcycle boots too. Needless to say she got a lot of attention!<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">On August:</span><br />Tunic: Made by me <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/3littlebirdsstitchco">3 Little Birds Stitch Co</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://www.target.com/CALYPSO-Target-Swimwear-1-Piece-Swimsuit/dp/B004HDV4RE/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton"><br /></a>Leggings: <a href="http://www.oldnavy.com/">Old Navy</a></span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GFnLyRKEL6c/Ted2WLr6oVI/AAAAAAAAAkM/75Rk2KyUg2g/s1600/IMG_7545.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GFnLyRKEL6c/Ted2WLr6oVI/AAAAAAAAAkM/75Rk2KyUg2g/s400/IMG_7545.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613585584006799698" border="0" /></a>On Monday we played at the park...again....and went to the pool....again.

Love that we have great restaurants that are so easy to walk to. The food was so delicious. August went nuts for the pickles that they bring out before your meal. She is totally my kid! I have to figure out how to make those. The wiki sticks they give the kids kept everyone entertained. Luke loves playing with those things.

After my fight on day 1 and 2 with the wovens I had to go back on day 3 to something I knew I could whip out without having to tear out seams and getting totally frustrated. <br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qxJSs2RGGwc/TcvspzR3hKI/AAAAAAAAAjU/41r7b0gYF4Q/s1600/IMG_7348.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qxJSs2RGGwc/TcvspzR3hKI/AAAAAAAAAjU/41r7b0gYF4Q/s400/IMG_7348.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605834364076655778" border="0" /></a><br />The sienna pattern is my go to and quite honestly it's one of the only things August will wear anymore. She refuses to wear most pants and shorts and then half of her dresses she tries to rip off. Ugh! The 2 year old independence is brewing. So on the agenda for today's sewing is more LBB dresses.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NiZDR2TfkPc/TcvsqGrBUII/AAAAAAAAAjc/YN1NgibrI-k/s1600/IMG_7355.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NiZDR2TfkPc/TcvsqGrBUII/AAAAAAAAAjc/YN1NgibrI-k/s400/IMG_7355.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605834369282429058" border="0" /></a>My mom sent this t-shirt for Augie because of her horse obsession. And I just did a real quick version with the same fabric for sleeves and the bottom ruffle. <br /><br />If you love Ashley from LBB like I do then you'll be excited to know that she is offering a free pattern today over for <a href="http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2011/05/free-pattern-month-day-14-lil-blue-boo.html">Grosgrain's Free Pattern Month</a>. It's the most adorable bustle back skirt.

Wovens and I do not have a happy relationship. I thought this little simple dress was gonna have me jumping off of the balcony between Sewing the collar on the wrong side and other mistakes that had nothing to do with the pattern and everything to do with distracted sewing! For this dress I used the Gracie Pattern by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamastellato">Mama Stellato</a>. I don't see the pattern in her shop right now but I bet if you messaged her she would list it for you.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CbPIJiXjcXc/TcqVEGLZS0I/AAAAAAAAAi0/kU11Y9qmeIU/s1600/IMG_7298.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CbPIJiXjcXc/TcqVEGLZS0I/AAAAAAAAAi0/kU11Y9qmeIU/s400/IMG_7298.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605456583826426690" border="0" /></a>If you haven't tried out her patterns you absolutely should. They are awesome and super easy to follow with really great pictures to get you through. I used a plaid seersucker for the bottom and<br />green gingham for the collar. I forgot about the pocket which is optional. I still may go back and add it.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BV2gcUTzpu8/TcqVfI0ZFdI/AAAAAAAAAi8/mMIgwgau3Bk/s1600/IMG_7292.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BV2gcUTzpu8/TcqVfI0ZFdI/AAAAAAAAAi8/mMIgwgau3Bk/s400/IMG_7292.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605457048391718354" border="0" /></a>The only thing I did different was use elastic cord instead of the bias loop.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t9sLLHCLOfI/TcqTZZFZsLI/AAAAAAAAAis/mic3z9JszRA/s1600/IMG_7277.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t9sLLHCLOfI/TcqTZZFZsLI/AAAAAAAAAis/mic3z9JszRA/s400/IMG_7277.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605454750655557810" border="0" /></a>feliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09756699802384598727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94041932600357849.post-64975069760971892002011-05-04T20:08:00.001-07:002011-05-04T20:11:23.566-07:00Guess what starts next week??<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.elsiemarley.com/kids-clothes-week-spring-2011.html"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 389px; height: 389px;" src="http://www.elsiemarley.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/kcwc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This couldn't come at a better time since August has decided she will no longer wear pants or shorts.

We were a military family and we moved a lot so my mom was really good at purging all of the unnecessary. But she did hold on to special things for us to have later on.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XNXoDNrZ-bA/Tbl2QErlZqI/AAAAAAAAAic/yLGCSw1Mg7M/s1600/IMG_7071.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XNXoDNrZ-bA/Tbl2QErlZqI/AAAAAAAAAic/yLGCSw1Mg7M/s400/IMG_7071.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600637630118454946" border="0" /></a><br />One of them was this dress. My MawMaw Anna made it for me when I was a baby. My sister and I both wore it. And now our girls can wear it. I love the fabric of this dress, I love the snap straps. I'm gonna try to knock it off and make her a few more like it because it's perfect for throwing on when it's warm out. Also it looks great over a tee.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e3oe4lNhK2Q/Tbl2Qri_FOI/AAAAAAAAAik/GXN-u4cy5KM/s1600/IMG_7100.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e3oe4lNhK2Q/Tbl2Qri_FOI/AAAAAAAAAik/GXN-u4cy5KM/s400/IMG_7100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600637640551372002" border="0" /></a><br />Luke had hockey practice that night and it gets cold in there so she wore a sweater over it.

Thanks Mom for the reminder!!! I wanted to make a more summery sleeveless style for the coming summer.<br /><br />I made this one with a drawstring neck so you can lengthen the straps as your child grows. This is also great layered over a long sleeve shirt. I'll have to try to get a picture of it styled like that tomorrow.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yj4TtV7mzfQ/TZPAsHRh1dI/AAAAAAAAAhU/50hQvLSOq10/s1600/100_0572.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yj4TtV7mzfQ/TZPAsHRh1dI/AAAAAAAAAhU/50hQvLSOq10/s400/100_0572.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590023426596263378" border="0" /></a><br />This idea for the applique has been floating around in my head since last year. I tried drawing it with a marker on a t-shirt but the marker ran all over the place. Then I thought to carve a stamp with the image.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8PPz4mGAH4A/TZPBJVVg9vI/AAAAAAAAAhc/KqLdAtLs008/s1600/100_0581.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8PPz4mGAH4A/TZPBJVVg9vI/AAAAAAAAAhc/KqLdAtLs008/s400/100_0581.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590023928587286258" border="0" /></a>I messed up carving the little details of the face so I just drew them on with a fabric marker afterward. After I stamped it I cut out the dress of the coordinating fabric and appliqued that on.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qT1j1kcFvi8/TZPBb0NsTKI/AAAAAAAAAhk/b_NVftFgJTg/s1600/100_0583.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qT1j1kcFvi8/TZPBb0NsTKI/AAAAAAAAAhk/b_NVftFgJTg/s400/100_0583.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590024246113619106" border="0" /></a><br />Carving stamps are really fun and SUPER easy if you have the right tools. I really like the <a href="http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/2042-AA.shtml?lnav=tools.html">Speedball Speedy-Stamp Blocks</a> and the <a href="http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1838-AA.shtml">Speedball Linoleum Cutter Set</a> from <a href="http://www.dharmatrading.com/">Dharma Trading Co</a>. I've carved the harder linoleum blocks before but the Speedball Speedy-Stamp blocks are much easier to carve and I think you can get a crisper image.

I have made so many things that I just haven't taken the time to blog about. Like this little sweater coat I made for August out of some of my old sweaters that I had felted. Pulling heavily from inspiration from <a href="http://thecottagehome.blogspot.com/2010/10/sew-basics-felting-wool.html">The Cottage Mama's sweater coat</a> I whipped this up for Augie one night.

This was by far the best Christmas gift under the tree. It was a gift for August but Luke and my 1 year old niece, Averie, had fun using it too! We could barely get the kids off the slide to open their other presents! And the entire time we were skyping my dad Augie was going up and down the slide. It was so funny! And don't worry....her head injury did not come from the slide!

I haven't had an issues with it even coming close to tipping over. It's already assembled when you get it so no frustration with taking hours to put it together.

We are so happy to have this now that it's been cold and we can't get to the park as often as we usually do.</p><div class="prCustomerPics"><p style="margin-top: 1em;" class="prCaption"></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TSCgCDMCZZI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/LJmTcialUrs/s1600/IMG_6529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TSCgCDMCZZI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/LJmTcialUrs/s400/IMG_6529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557617897251169682" border="0" /></a></div></div>feliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09756699802384598727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94041932600357849.post-20876759181810419082010-11-28T14:02:00.000-08:002010-11-28T14:04:01.563-08:00Cyber Monday Coupon Code<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TPLRw_nhRPI/AAAAAAAAAf0/9K3RPLJ26Q8/s1600/coupon.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TPLRw_nhRPI/AAAAAAAAAf0/9K3RPLJ26Q8/s400/coupon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544724730887619826" border="0" /></a>feliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09756699802384598727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94041932600357849.post-18172477808190751942010-11-24T20:39:00.000-08:002010-11-24T21:16:59.366-08:00Always Thankful for my Most Awesome Family<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TO3pTTilEyI/AAAAAAAAAe8/ZsMbQxFxK7s/s1600/IMG_5966.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TO3pTTilEyI/AAAAAAAAAe8/ZsMbQxFxK7s/s400/IMG_5966.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543343234235044642" border="0" /></a><br />I will always be so incredibly thankful that I have these 2 in my life.

Augie and I went to his class the other day for their Thanksgiving party. We stayed in the classroom and Luke went down to the cafeteria to get his lunch. When he came back he had bought an extra milk for his sister. He is an incredibly thoughtful kid and the best big brother.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TO3p3gucooI/AAAAAAAAAfM/hqFPSBatcts/s1600/IMG_5962.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TO3p3gucooI/AAAAAAAAAfM/hqFPSBatcts/s400/IMG_5962.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543343856249774722" border="0" /></a>August......my sweet little honey girl.

I am such a lucky girl to have 2 sets of parents who I know that I can always count on. And even better they are all 4 the greatest grandparents to the munchkins.

We weren't BFF growing up but now I couldn't ask for a better best friend. And her hubs is so cool, he's even offered to keep all the kids so that I could go out with my sis. Brave man! Our girls are only 6 months apart and Lucas adores both of the girls. Honestly one of my dreams was to have my kids and their cousins get to grow up close together. I am so thankful that it is happening.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TO3vt0oWSaI/AAAAAAAAAfs/PeVzzPz1vwQ/s1600/vin%2Band%2Bchelle.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TO3vt0oWSaI/AAAAAAAAAfs/PeVzzPz1vwQ/s400/vin%2Band%2Bchelle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543350286863976866" border="0" /></a>(My brother and my sis-in-law)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I wish I could pick up San Diego and move it closer to VA.

We plot and plan our joint business venture and they keep trying to get us to move out there. I am so thankful that they found each other because a more perfect couple can not be found.<br /></div></div></div></div>feliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09756699802384598727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94041932600357849.post-25478402249211557622010-11-22T19:37:00.000-08:002010-11-22T20:30:35.417-08:00CSN Christmas WishlistI was over looking around on the CSN Stores website the other day and I realized I could do a ton of my Christmas shopping on their site and find something for everyone.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">(Click on the pictures to connect to the site)<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">For the friend with an office job:</span><br /><a href="http://www.luggage.com/Bramble-and-Brown-421902-MBL1033.html?cv="><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 390px; height: 391px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TOs4oBE0EMI/AAAAAAAAAeM/ck-9zBs3mRA/s400/laptop%2Btote.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542586026544074946" border="0" /></a>This is not your Mama's <a href="http://www.luggage.com/Briefcases-C73741.html">briefcase</a>!

Hats and scarves and dresses and skirts. My poor kids hardly ever get anything made for them anymore. But I did take a little time the other day to make a skirt for August for holiday pictures. I think it looks a little Cindy Lou Who and I love it! I used this <a href="http://kojodesigns.blogspot.com/2010/10/guest-tutorial-by-leisel-from-brown.html">tutorial</a> for the skirt.<br /><br /><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/Asset_Archive/ONWeb/Assets/Product/795/795071/main/on795071-00p01v01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 345px;" src="http://oldnavy.gap.com/Asset_Archive/ONWeb/Assets/Product/795/795071/main/on795071-00p01v01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I'm gonna pair it with <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49055&vid=1&pid=795071">this shirt</a> if I can find it in her size for her to wear to visit Santa. I'm really praying that she will take a picture with Santa without too much fuss. Would that be too much to ask?<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TOf8LodsuEI/AAAAAAAAAeE/ZRC_dOYjsxQ/s1600/Christmas%2BSkirt%2Bwith%2Bpin.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_agQMKw5z1Nc/TOf8LodsuEI/AAAAAAAAAeE/ZRC_dOYjsxQ/s400/Christmas%2BSkirt%2Bwith%2Bpin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541675143273429058" border="0" /></a>And I made this one for one of my customers.
