So some how I managed to sew this ruffled apron between Rachel's crying and feeding spells, I really like it, but the pattern I used ( http://morganmoore.typepad.com/one_more_moore/2007/02/valentine_tree__1.html )
So I forgot to mention that I picked up 2 meters of pink tulle at fabric land the other day too, I cut it into pieces 4 inches x 20 inches, gathered the stripes in groups of 3, knotted them onto a piece of elastic and vwala, a tutu for Rachel was born.
This morning I dug through Rachel's clothes to find some new things for her to wear, the little jean dress from Oma, and the shirt underneath from her cousin Bethani. She needed to have slippers too, because it was -14 today and we were going to the curling rink to watch 'Daddy' play, so some how I managed to make the little brown slippers she's wearing in the 15 minute 'ready get set go' time before we left. They were a quick job, but lined with fleece they did the job. Unfortunately because I was so busy with making these, I assumed the bulging diaper bag had diapers, and had a rude awakening when Rachel exploded at the curling rink. Needless to say we went home early... never assume :)
Last night after putting Owen to bed, I dug through some bags of remnant material and pieced together this little number. I gave it to a little girl from church for her birthday.
