jayne has started making the funniest faces, we caught her on video... enjoy!

New dress

i started this little dress for jayners the saturday before school started, so a little over a week ago, and then i was too busy to finish it, i decided i better before the new semester really takes off. so here is jaynes new summer dress, total i think it cost me about 3 dollars to make, the fabric was on sale, and i have a ton left. on the pattern, there was also this cute shirt and pant combo, i'll probably make those too, on my next little break.

My new class!!!

Well, i officially signed up for the wrong class, it is official. I don't need that child class, i signed up for Child 310, and it should have been Child 330. Such a bummer. however, a solution was brought to my attention today. A new class has opened up for this semester only, and it is dun dun dun... BRIDAL SEWING! no this isn't just sewing for weddings, bridal includes formal occasions, like prom and operas and stuff. so for my final project i'm going to make my little sister nancy a formal for prom or junior miss or something:) so i am pretty excited, a class i actually want to take! it will be hard but totally worth it!

ps- here is my little sister, she's totally cute huh?! i don't know what she is wearing on her head, some animal i think:) i'm excited for my new project, she's totally gonna look like one hot *momacita when i'm all done (*Disclaimer nan is single and has no kids, but i just liked the word mamacita:)

School Started

well i started my new semester yesterday. i'm taking an advanced sewing class which should be fun and challenging. I am taking a child developing class (i'm not really into theories and the reasons behind children's thoughts, but hopefully i learn how to be a better parent) then, for some me time, i am taking a bowling class. i was taught an awesome approach yesterday, and hopefully i'll get a couple of strikes tomorrow. Finally i am taking food science, basically the chemistry behind food, and it should be great, i think we make cheese in one of our labs. So it will be a busy couple of months, but it's exciting to be almost done. (all i have Left is the fall... going part time, and them i student teach, so i will be graduated in one year!)

Stuck

Jayners got stuck investigating out basement....

new bed?

here is cindy's bed.....but she won't sleep in it (except for at night) she sleeps on the bed, couch, chair, ground, and under the kitchen table, but lately we've been spending a ton of time in our basement, and jayners can reach cindy really easily when she sleeps on the couch, so here is her new solution, and favorite bed... Jaynes bouncer

My little pony

jayne's hair is still a little short to really do anything fancy with, but here's a little ponytail we managed to keep in today. she's just so cute! normally we just put a headband with a big flower in it, but she can pull off a less flamboyant look as well.while trying to take a picture, jayne notices that the camera is something she needs for herself
so she trys to hold me down and take it from me

stitchery

My sister-in-law melissa does the coolest stitchery, and i have recently decided to also pick up this talent. i'm always looking for something crafty to do. here's one that mel did for our wedding.....
And here is my first one, i made it into a pillow for my friend shannon. currently i am working one one for jaynes room, and i'll post a picture of it when i'm done because i think it's gonna turn out really cute. it's really pretty relaxing and surprisingly addictive. i've never really enjoyed cross stitching, these stitcheries go really fast, and make cute gifts

You ANIMAL!!

So there are several animals that hang out at my house.... my nephew eli and nieces kenzie and alexsisCindy (she ripped out one of there little claws today, it was so sad. she tried jumping over the baby gate by herself)
And this is Tomas... he lives in our tree. he loves to chew on my window screens (drives me mad) and leap around joyfully in the yard. he has a little friend named phillip (fill-leap) who is a foreigner and is such a bad influence (its always when phillip is visiting that Tomas chews on my screen) i call him a foreigner because he lives across the street, which could be like crossing the ocean for a little animal.
