Actually sewing

I was checking out this web page that had downloadable crochet patterns to buy and they had these really cute sewing patterns. Kami has never really seen mom sew other than crochet and the girl has a ton of crochet dresses so I figured it was time to dust off the sewing machine and serger. I am making Kezri a skirt and peasant shirt. I finished the shirt tonight. The skirt is another story I will have to work on that tomorrow. Kami I am making a peasant shirt, a skirt and a corset. Kezri said no tot he corset but I am sure once Kami's is done she is going to want one to so I have the fabric for it. Kami is full of fluff and Kezri's isn't as fluffy. I am learning to do some really cool stuff. I am doing this thing called shirring. It is like smoking but not exactly. It is rather simple to do and it makes the shirts look so nice. I can't wait to get them all done and get pictures of the girls in them. Poor Kalaree, I haven't found something for her yet. Guess I will have to keep looking. So look for pictures later this week. The sewing machine and serger are staying out till they are done so it will get finished. Wish me luck since I haven't really sewn since Kalaree was little. (Bean bags don't count.)

Can't wait to see your projects. Yeah no here it is $10 per game, you bowl 10 frames and you pay another 10 to play another. It's crazy. I wish I had a sewing machine here, but I don't even know if they have a fabric store here, they have a yarn store but it is like 14 dollar for one skeen of yarn.

Finally some movement.

So almost a complete month later we are finally getting our van fixed. I have been playing phone tag with this place in Denver and I could not for the life of me get someone on the phone to arrange the repairs. Well today I finally called and demanded a supervisor and woohoo finally our van will be repaired. David is taking it in tomorrow to let them look at it and then he said they should be able to start the repairs next Monday. I will have a rental to drive while they are fixing it. I am so glad to be finally getting this done and over with. The funny thing is that I am also trying to settle the Dr. bill with it and they keep commenting that it is really early to settle this. I think that is hilarious that it would take this long to get everything in place to get it done and over with. Oh well.

I have great kids!!!

David ended up working last night. He was just going in to sign papers and they ended up keeping him till almost 5:30. Which was fine. I got home to find Kalaree and Kezri at the kitchen counter and Kalaree was helping Kezri wiht her homework. I started dinner, while they continued to work. Then we ate and the girls headed out to play. Lately though I have really enjoyed their little snipits. So I figured I would share those here. On our way home from the car accident. Of course once everything had calmed down. Kezri says, "I was shaking so hard my eyes were watering." UUMM your eyes were watering because you were crying. Got to love kids. Last night I thanked Kalaree for helping Kezri with her homework. Kezri replies, "I had to force her to do it." Oh the power of younger siblings. Kami is really afraid of Halloween. She is really trying this year. However, the other night a commercial for Scream at the Beach , a local haunted house came on and she had to hide her

Dresses.

I finished the dress and even had them done before midnight. Kami's is really cute and Kezri's fits her. It is amazing how two different outfits can come from one pattern. This was the most simple pattern so I plan to make more. In fact I already have the fabric for Kami's next one. I am even thinking of doing the doll one to match for her with this next one. Both girls picked their fabric main fabric. Kami had to have both yellow and red, which surprising goes well together. Kezri picked sage green and pale pink. I got plenty of pictures of Kami's but when I went to take Kalaree's and Kezri's pictures today the battery on the camera was dead so I will have to get out and get some more later. Kalaree asked for a store bought outfit. Which is fine since now a days you spend the same amount on the fabric as you would if you bought it premade. Plus she is at that age where it just isn't cook anymore and I totally understand. So she got a shopping trip just her
