Therapy

So Tucker came down with Strep throat this week. He was really feeling bad... this after being on antibiotics for a few days already. So I riped the sheets off every ones beds, washed them and any blankets Tucker might have been cuddling under, sanitized all door knobs etc... and kept him hopped up on Ibo and Tylenol all day. After all this I put Tuck in front of a show, Ella down for a nap and finished sewing Ella's Hoddie and yoga pants. Sometimes sewing is my therapy... I felt much better having accomplished this project. These patterns are from Heidi and Finn on etsy. The fabric is Michael Miller Knit. Button holes turned out terrible but I love how it turned out anyway. I am not a hot pink gal but Ella really looks cute in it. Here she is in her new outfit. Levi loves to play with Ella and helped me get some pictures.

Here we go...

So I have wanted to do this for a while but kept putting it off. I already have so much to do this feels a little like I am just adding one more thing to my plate. I am hoping however that this can be a place for me to share ideas, thoughts and pictures of my work. Sometimes I feel like my work is hardly worth doing. Most things I do here at home are so easily undone. I think that is one of the reasons I like sewing so much. You get a finished project. When it is done it is done, and no one is going to undo it.

In the past I have done a lot of sewing for myself. In Dec of 2009 I was blessed with my 4th child... my first girl. Since then I have not done a whole lot of sewing for myself, but have done a ton for or little girl. Here are a few things I have sewn for her lately.
