Sewing again!!

I am finally sewing again. I was just not in sewing mode for the first part of my pregnancy, but have been having fun making some little Sunday clothes for Claire. I saw a skirt like this in a magazine for like $48!!! I thought, "I could make that." So, I did-- I think it will be so cute to twirl in.
I just finished this dress this morning. I saw this fun fabric at the Gathering Place (the most amazing fabric store ever!) and had to create something, so I thought I'd make Clarie a fun dress in fall colors. I think I will top it with a cute little cardigan.

Happy Birthday Jason!!

Jason turned 31 yesterday!! We celebrated with dinner at Chilli's on Sat. night -- thanks again Chad and Bonnie!! Yesterday we had family over for dinner. We forgot to take pictures of that, but did take some with Jason and his favorite chocolate pie. We had yummy peach dessert right after dinner that Bonnie brought over, but the kids insisted on eating some chocolate pie complete with candles and singing happy birthday before they went to bed! We love Jason so much!!! He is such a great husband and daddy!!!

Kate had her first day of preschool last Monday!!! She was so cute and ready to go! She just marched in the door like she owned the place. She picked out her back-to-school outfit all by herself!! She is getting to be so grown up!

First Day of School and The chair

Karson had his first day of 1st grade on Monday!! He is getting so big! In good old Idaho we start full days of school in first grade--this has been quite the adjustment for me. I miss my big boy-- he is such a good helper and is so fun to have around. The good thing is, he is loving school. The girls and I just miss him.
So, I bought this fabric about a year ago... loved it... thought I would try my hand at upholstery. That lasted about a week-- working for hours on end and accomplishing nothing. That chair still sits in our basement. Jason found this little chair at a thrift store and we took it to our favorite upholstery shop and got it professionally redone. I love how it turned out. The pictures don't do it justice all the little details on it are sooo cute.
Here's another pic. with the arm and back covers on.-- I can't decide which way I like it better.

Just had to include this one. Karson and his little buddy-- these two are so cute together!
