Latest Creations

 I have been busy at the sewing/embroidery machine lately. Here are a few of my latest creations.

An Excuse to Dress Up

Truth.

When I went to the University of Arkansas I LOVED getting dressed up for Razorback football games. Even if we had to sit outside for 4 hours before kickoff to secure our seats we still dressed up. After graduating I fell into the habit of dressing more casual for games. I missed dressing up though. There was just something about it. If I am ever lucky enough to get season tickets again I will dress up from time to time. It is the right thing to do.

Even though we don't get to go to games anymore and I don't really dress myself up it is important for an SEC baby to get dressed up for games.. I have been thinking about Sadie's "hog" outfits for a while now.

I know. Ridiculous.

Obviously she'll need some things she can wear to school to show her school spirit, she'll need outfits for actual game days, and then church dresses to celebrate the Saturday victories.

I wanted to share two of her new outfits for this year. Luckily she has a sweet smocked dress from last year can wear too but when I saw this I knew it had to be hers.

I love this. It is even cuter in person. The best thing about dresses like this is she can wear it for at LEAST two seasons.

Another one of her new dresses this year is something I made for her.

I absoultely love it. It looks SO cute on her. She can wear it like this early in the season and then I will make ruffle pants for her to put with it when it cools down.

I still have a couple of t-shirts to make her for school and she'll be set.

Here is a look back at some of her Razorback attire from last year.

Sewing for Boys

I love having a girl and I love making girly clothes but it is also a lot of fun when I get the chance to make things for boys. One of Sadie's best buddies (nevermind the fact they've never met) is David. His mommy has a private blog or I would link to it so you can see how cute he is. You'll just have to trust me. He is such a cutie. I was so excited when his mommy let me make him some things for this summer.

Every little boy needs a crab shirt!

This shirt was really for David's daddy. He loves golf so David needed to help represent.

The shirts themselves were so cute but these matching shorts just make the outfit. I love them so much and I was thrilled to find out they fit him perfectly!

Here are a couple of shirts I made David earlier this year.

I couldn't leave out Eli's shirt either. He is another one of Sadie's friends. I loved making this shirt for him. It is all boy with a football but the polka dots make it sweet for a little guy.

First Haircut

I am WAY behind in blog posts. I hope to get caught up ASAP.

On Good Friday Sadie got her first haircut. It was really just a trim of the bangs and even out the back so it didn't amount to much. I was worried how Sadie would do but I should have known the second she saw herself in the mirror she would be just fine.

Friday the13th

I'm still trying to get the party post finished but I sure couldn't leave out pictures from Sadie's actual birthday. Since she is a 13th baby it was sure to land on a Friday at some point. Lucky for her it happened on her very first one. Even though her party was on Saturday I wanted her birthday to be special. I made her a cute outfit to wear and figured we'd go eat lunch then maybe go get a treat. The day didn't really go as planned but it was a great birthday anyway.

Sadie had lunch at Sam's. She had chicken fried steak, hummus, chicken cordon bleu, oranges, cheese, muffins, lemonade and I may or may not have let her have a tiny sip of iced coffee. I am pretty sure it was the best meal of her life. After lunch we went back to my mom's house so she could nap and so I could decorate for the party. At this point my only picture of her in the dress I made was on my phone so after her nap we went outside for a little photo shoot. The sun came out right in the middle so to save time from editing every picture I made them 1960'sish for now. :)

Here she is dancing. I don't know what she was dancing too because there wasn't any music but that didn't stop her. I taught her if you open your mouth when you dance it makes you a better dancer. She has taken that to heart.

All of these pictures had to be taken on a blanket because she does not like the grass at my parent's house. She is a little prissy.
