one outfit at a time

while ella was breaking stride I was trying to really figure out how to hem...the second dress has a way better hem but it could possibly fit a 12 year old...have to figure out my sizing...so here is my late night project and then today i worked on a jumpsuit for aves...not my fav materials together but kind of all i had...not my fav style, just kind of made it up as i went...but the hemming is better...

ella's new stride

A few weeks ago Ella started taking one or two steps every now and then.  In the last few days she has really started getting the whole walking thing down.  I don't know if I would qualify her as a "walker" but she is well on her way for sure!

first dress

so aly sent us this fantastic blog where this fantasticly cute family lives in brooklyn.  the mom is so cute and she does lots of fun stuff and makes, like, all their clothes. she is kind of my new girl crush.  so i copied her flowery design and made aves a dress.  not really to be worn while doing anything that involves moving of any kind (due to the fact that its hanging by my sewing...) but super fun to make.  hopefully i will get a lot better.  (it looks like there is something on it but its just the light reflecting off my lens...)

happy mothers day!

how cute is this little "picture bouquet" that jeff made for me to display my polaroids!  love it. thanks jeff.

sheridans

on warm summer days we love cool off with some ice cream from sheridans.  

al and i love the grasshopper (celeste gets it with brownies too), 

jeff and bob love the buckaroo, 

ashley loves butter pecan 

and the babies get puppy cones (free with another order).  

its a great way to spend a summer night in lubbock.
