It's TOO HOT for Fandangle!!!

Just three more nights! I can make it, I can make it, I can make it! I may even take a few pictures of my kids tonight, and if you're lucky, maybe even one of me!!! Don't hold your breath though! :)

Here are some more dresses I've made for some of the little girls at Fandangle. They picked what they wanted and I made them. Just don't look too close because I'm still working on getting them just right!!! I'm thinking about trying to sell a few on Ebay after I get them perfected. It's a good way to try to make money instead of spending it I guess!

Is it September yet!?!

We've been super busy with Fandangle practice every night, but somehow in between the practices until midnight, work, and trying to keep my house semi-picked up, I'm officially done with the baby bedding. I found more fabric that went with the rest of it and made a sheet, which I think made a big difference! I finally got the ribbon trim around the bottom too.






I took the leftover fabric to Mom this weekend so she can get started on the quilt and she sent me home with lots of clothes she had saved that were mine.

She made this one for me



I bought this to bring her home in, but now I think I may use the one my Mom made. It would mean more and it's so sweet!


I guess I've been feeling really crafty lately because now that I'm done with the bedding, I just can't stop. I made this dress for Hannah, just to see if I could. Of course, Robert made fun of it, but what does he know!!!


I also made this blanket with extra stuff I had.





And I started on these bow holders at lunch, but this is as far as I got before I had to go back to work. I would have used her name, and probably still will, but since she STILL doesn't have a name, I just got the letters for "bows". This is just using some extras I had laying around. When I get my bedding fabric back and she gets a name, I'll make some with her name and use the stuff that matches the bedding.

I guess that's it for now. I take Kase back to the doctor tomorrow to see if we get the cast off, or just a new one, and then it's Fandangle, Fandangle, Fandangle for the next two weeks solid! I'm so tired!!!

Well it only took us 7 1/2 years but....

we finally broke something! Kase "fell off" the bunk bed at Robert's mom's Thursday and fractured his wrist. I took him to the clinic here in town but the doctor wasn't in so they couldn't do an x-ray. I just love small towns! Ugh! Koy had an appointment the next morning for a checkup so I just took Kase along and let her look at his wrist while we were there. She felt around on it and he didn't even flinch so she said she thought it was okay, and to come back in a week if it was still bothering him. Saturday morning he woke up with a knot on it, so I decided to go ahead and take him to Dr. J's, and sure enough, fractured bone! After dealing with a splint and a sling for 5 days, we finally got an appointment with a bone and joint doctor and got a cast put on it. MUCH BETTER!!! He said he'll probably only have to wear it for 3-4 weeks. And I also paid the extra $25 for a waterproof one so he can still give himself a bath and swim.

This is Koy on the way to the doctor's office. I almost had a wreck from laughing when I looked in my mirror and saw this! Of course he got mad because I was laughing so this is the picture I got at the stop sign! I'll have to post a picture of Kase later.
