The Crafty Bug...

I have a bug. A crafty bug. I am totally living in my right brain these days. I have been sewing a ton of things. Let's see, I have made 2 sleeping bags and pillows for the girls' American Girl dolls, shirts for the three of us girls, skirts for us as well, and an apron for Anna. I even chopped up a dress of mine and refashioned it into a skirt and shirt (thought I am not sure how it looks). A serger machine would have been very useful for the dress refashioning. :-/
I have so many ideas rattling around in my head. I need more supplies though... like fabric, elastic, spray paint, wood... not all for the same project, mind you. :-)
Any fabric donations you want to make? Old sheets with some interesting designs? Tablecloths? Curtains?

July 4th

On the 3rd, I felt like being crafty... so I rummaged through the fabric I had laying around and found a lot of red and white gingham... so I whipped some shirts for the girls and me to wear. :-)

We spent the afternoon/evening at our friends' house. We all enjoyed the pool!


We even played croquet.

And we goofed off during the fireworks.


The fourth was filled with fun, food, fellowship and friends. :-)
