Babies Are…
So stinking cute. When I was pregnant with my second I wondered how it would be having two. Something I never expected was the feeling I’d experience when seeing them play together. Now that I have three babies, that wonderful warm feeling is only growing. I still wonder how someone so small can have such a hold over you. Beautiful.

I finally own a serger. The little beauty showed up this afternoon. I have been busy saving for many months (feels like years) for one. I decided on getting a Babylock since I had heard such wonderful things about them. I ended up purchasing the evolve (used of course). I have never owned a serger before, but was able to thread it following the instruction book. Really it wasn’t too hard and I think maybe I even did it right! I hope now I can really begin to create more of finished garment.
Here’s a picture of the newest machine….
I also have some fo’s to show, but really they were very simple. Of course they are Otto, I am in LOVE with that mag, can’t you tell. Both are leggings for DD, the cream one was worn under the fairy halloween costume. It was really cold here the other night, so I lined them in a plain white knit.
And lastly, a photo of some of the other sewing I do…Repairs. I let them pile up usually, as I despise them. These are actually the ones I have set on my sewing chair. They consist of a pair of hunting pants for my brother that need shortening, a shirt that DD has broken some stitching on, and lastly a pair of leggings that I would like to fix a bit more. I don’t know if others think this way, but I find repairing so boring.
Sewing, Sewing, Sewing…
I have some FO’s. I’ve been so busy lately. Friday was my birthday. It seems like the older you get the less exciting a birthday is. My day went well though. Dh woke early and made the kids breakfast. That was really nice. We also went and looked at sergers. I don’t own one and have come so far in my sewing that now I basically need one. At least that’s how I view it. I am looking at the BabyLock models. Specifically the Imagine and Imagine Wave. I’d love love love to own the Evolve, but wow, that is costly. Someday maybe….
Anyway, here’s the FO’s….
A simple cross top t-shirt from Ottobre. I believe it’s in 4/04 (can’t be sure though)
Next a t-shirt from Ottobre Design Workshop. Fit DS great.
Last up are crawling pants for the baby. There are flannel patches inside for the little baby knees. So cute!
A little Post
I swear I have been sewing. But I must say I have been feeling a bit lack luster about posting. Not that I don’t want to, but somedays it feels like alot of work. Also I must say that I have been a bit concerned ever since I saw what happened over at Little Birds. I have heard stories of photos being stolen before. It’s actually why I have never used any photos of my kids ever and why I have stopped using their names also. I was just becoming a bit too comfortable again when this happened. I was actually thinking maybe I’d start using modeling photos of my kids with the clothing I make, but I will continue to cut their heads off. I wonder how this will look when I go to sell my items. I hope it doesn’t make a difference, but I think it will.
Anyway, here’s the picts of a few WIP’s.
Velour pants for the baby DS…
A another pair of pants for the youngest DS…
And a shirt for the oldest DS…
I need to get going on some pants & shirts for my DD. I have been getting irritated lately with all the switching that occurs when you don’t have a serger. Changing the feet, the thread, the needle…. ARGH! I could pull my hair out. I am wishing and hoping that maybe just maybe I’ll get a serger for my birthday next week. I don’t think it will happen, but a girl can dream right.
