Skirt Accomplished!

I have the hardest time finding skirts for my oldest, Felicity. The skirts are either too short in her size or too big around the waist if they are long enough. So, the benefit of knowing a little bit about sewing is that you can make your own skirts & adjust the length to your needs! 

I made this skirt last night & now I am trying to decide if I should add something to it to "dress" it up, maybe just a jean ruffle on the bottom or just sew lines around it in different colors so that it can go with various things because I want it to be one of those skirts that is versatile enough that she can wear it with anything:0) Whatever the outcome is I am happy to have accomplished something even if it was a simple skirt:0)

We had a play date with some friends of ours today & among other things they did some dress up. I couldn't resist taking a picture of my sweet Chey all dressed up!

Back to School

Well, today was our first day back to school after a nice Christmas break! Felicity was not at all thrilled about it! I have to admit I wasn't the most patient "teacher, mother" today as I sat working through  "our" schoolwork.  I only had a messy kitchen, unpacking to do, laundry to tend to  a 2 yr. old to keep out of trouble and that only names a few of the things that I could be doing.  I have chosen to walk this road and will with God's help walk it patiently, learning what sometimes seem like the important things in life really aren't important at all! Homeschooling has its challenges but it is so rewarding! I love to see my girls learning! I am so blessed to have healthy children!

Can't take a picture of one without taking of the other:0) 

My Snow Angels

These two little girls LOVE the snow!  Felicity has enjoyed it the past two years that we have been in Michigan! Cheyenna cannot be held in the house any longer, she says "Me, out, Me, Out". This evening she said "mama,out"! Tonight I didn't join them  but I have & I will spend more of my time playing with my snow angels!

Obviously, I am just getting started on this blogging thing so, please be patient as I try to figure out how to set things up!
