Random Ramblings...

So, I have a LONG list of projects that I have been working on lately. Most of them involve school clothes for Miss Addie. I am thinking of making a jumper like this one that Dana MADE...

So cute and So Fall!

And I have also started thinking about Halloween Costumes! I know its August, but hey if I want to make my kids costumes, I need to be on top of things, or else I will be up all night on October 30th sewing, and then the holiday will be no fun at all!

And come on, I know SOME of you have started thinking about Halloween. What are your kiddos going to be? I am afraid that after this year I wont have much say in what my kids want to be for Halloween. Lucky for me, Eliza is still in her Alice phase and wants to be Alice for Halloween. Alice costume, Check! But Addie on the other hand, has been REALLY into Shirley Temple movies, and wants to be THISor THISfor Halloween. Yup she is currently talking about being Shirley Temple.(Squeal of delight from me!) We will see if it sticks, and if it does the hardest part will be deciding which dress to make? The one below is a pretty light pink. What do you think? hmmmm....

Oh and P.S. I have FINALLY started to figure out photoshop. Now all I need is a better camera!

I've actually been trying to think up things for us. I'm not a big theme person. Just inexpensive and I have no sewing talent.
For Ryker it's going to be a red turtleneck that I plan to pain some dots on the neck or maybe sew small buttons and then I have a Next Gen. Communicator badge he's going to get pinned on the front and a pair of black pants and Poof he'll bee a Star Fleet Commander.
Em is more difficult. I'm currently thinking a cute little jumper with long tights and I'll get a really big bow to match the jumper and a pair of cheap kitty ears on a headband and maybe she can be hello kitty.
