My little turkeys!

Not long after the Gift Gallery, I became inspired to start doing some real sewing for my girls. In the past I've "made" them outfits by just embellishing already made clothing. I decided that I wanted them to have some "boutique" looking outfits for a fraction of the price. So, I ordered several patterns off of Etsy and got to work. These skirts were my first creation. I did applique the turkeys onto already made t-shirts, but I made the entirety of the skirts myself. I thought they were super cute! And, of course, so are the girls wearing them if I may say so myself. :-)





















I'm collecting shirts and fabric so I can make these to sell in next year's Gift Gallery!

By the way, in case you didn't notice, I have another new post right under this one. Two posts in one day - CrAzY!!!

Hiatus

I'm sure everyone has been devastated that I've been on an extremely long blogging hiatus. Well, prompted by my sweet cousin Ashley (I had no idea that she even read my blogs), I have decided to try and do it again! Maybe not too often, but more than never. :)

Ashley wanted me to do several catch-up posts to let the world (or my 3 readers) know what I've been up to. So, I'll try. They may not be in order - I'm just going to do them as they come to me.

The biggest thing that I've done since my last blog is move! Yep - we moved into a different house in the same town. I'm sure I'll have a lot of posts soliciting decorating advice really soon.

Anyway, shortly after we moved in, my mom, sister and I took it upon ourselves to host (in my new home) a holiday bazaar. We called it the Gift Gallery. It was so much fun! Lots and lots of work, but so fun! We had around 8 different vendors selling a variety of really neat items - most of them handmade. Here are some photos from the event:




































We had so much fun and had a great turnout for our first time. We are already working on plans to do it again next year!

Stay tuned - I'll probably be posting several catch-up posts in the next couple days. And, by the way, if you actually read my blog, I'd love for you to leave a comment so I know you read it. Thanks!!!
