My New Hobby

I've recently started sewing dresses for Grey and I'm having so much fun with it. I think I go to the fabric store every other day (sorry Ryan) but I just can't help it. I've got so many ideas for dresses and I can't wait to make all of them. Here are my first 3 dresses. I tired to get Grey to model them for me but she wasn't cooperating and I didn't have the patience to wait, so this is as good as they get.


My first dress I made. Portobellopixie Claire dress with attached apron. 


Strips of fabrics made this halter dress

Portobellopixie Petal Knot Dress. This dress also has an apron and the straps go through a button hole and tie in a knot. So fun!

S.C

Well, we are officially living in South Carolina. I have to say, I really do love it here. The people are so nice, the weather is warm, it's green and the town is just my size. Now that we are settled in I will catch up on my blogging. I have lots of pics to show and stories to tell. Ryan ended his training last thursday. Yay! He likes his job and is glad to be qualified to work on his own now. Grey is adjusting to the new place and to being with me all day long. We don't have any play buddies yet, but we will soon I hope. And me, well, I'm settin up the sewing room and getting started on my dress creations for Grey and I may sell some as well. We'll see. 
Check back in a few days for pics and more exciting stories. Bye for now!!
