Working long and hard!

-
Its been crazy around here lately! I've not posted on the blog this whole month! Near the end of this month I'm going to do a big post with all the pictures of all the projects I've done this month. I'm going to be like: "This is why you've not heard anything from me this month!" So yes, really busy around here! 

 I'm sharing this (that I also just wrote on my FB wall) because its easy to copy and paste!!! And I know y'all will understand that the reason I'm tired is because I've been up late working on orders lol! So enjoy the following little story from my life.... 


 We're (or more specifically, *I'm wiped out) I was trying to rest after staying up late on Monday and Tuesday night, but Miriam was going to see to it that I didn't get my rest.

 So last night, we get home, and Miriam had fallen asleep in the vehicle right before 8pm. No big deal.. just put her to bed. I laid down on the couch thinking I'd get a little rest and then get up and work some more that night. No such thing... Jubilee and I both fell asleep. The TV and lamp stayed on all night long. This morning Miriam was up by 6am. Which was earlier than usual for her. At 6:30am, I hear through the speaker, on the house phone "Jackson County 911... Jackson County 911" Miriam had dialed the emergency number, and as is their procedure, a nice police lady came to make sure there wasn't an emergency. After visiting with the nice police lady, I was still exhausted, so I kept trying to rest while Miriam insisted that I should be up! She drug out shoes, toys, blankets, my laundry... At length I'd had enough chaos, and got up to raise a little chaos of my own! That girl was going to get it! One by one, I made her put back the things she'd pulled out! Now lunch is done, they've had strawberries out on the patio, been in the kiddy pool, got cleaned up, and are in bed taking naps! Praise the Lord! I'm working on getting my sanity back!! Here are pictures of my sleeping babies <3 Now for a shower and some coffee!! 




 My little tornado right here! 




Insisted she didn't need a nap :-)

 This is a series of posts I'm doing on the different "Styles" of modest swimwear I've made in the past and in the present. This post in particular is on the Women's Ice Skater Suit. A post on the girl's will follow this one.  Women's Ice Skater Suit At one point this was the new 'in' thing. And well, it never really went out of style, its still really popular. A fitted bodice with a drop scoop waist. Attached to an a-line skirt which is very flattering and has such flair! The spandex pants beneath are separate and have an elastic waist band. Pictures below are in order from newest to oldest. I have many of these so I'm just choosing a few. Enjoy!      Boat lounging Anna Skurfing behind the boat Me water skiing I don't know what it is about this photo, but its awesome :-)  Stay tuned for the Girl's Ice Skater Sui

Training Pants (tutorial)

When I started potty training my nearly 2 year old, I went in search of training panties. I had been using cloth diapers before hand, and had tried using those for starters but they didn't work too well for potty training. I'd heard of the plastic covers and such, or trainers that had a layer of PUL in them. But I really didn't want those; I was in search of the old fashioned kind, like the Gerber ones that were made from white cloth and didn't have a plastic lining. Turns out, they're no longer just in white, but come in various prints and can be found at Walmart. That's where I found the ones I bought. They ran about $9.00 for 3 pair. My first thought was that I could make them rather than buy them. I searched for a pattern and tutorial online. I found both, but in separate locations. The first thing I saw was this tutorial over at Lemonwood Clock . Then I followed the link in her tutorial to another post by the  The Mom Road  where I found a printable patter

Types of Swimwear Fabric

First off I have to tell you, I am very picky about quality in swimwear fabric. How it feels, stretches, even what color it is on the back. (imagine that) I'll explain that a little later...  Now I can't always remember which technical names I'm looking for when I'm searching swimwear fabric on the internet, but I've got to be sure I'm looking at the right thing. Its not like I can touch it and immediately know that I've got the right stuff. I know words like nylon, spandex, lycra, and polyester, and even cotton are thrown around. I know enough to stay away from anything that says cotton-lycra on the label. When I was growing up swimwear fabric was simply called LYCRA.  But these days so much clothing is made from stretch fabrics and the word LYCRA is in everything stretchy. Knits have LYCRA in them, but they're not for swimming, they're for stretchy t-shirts, leggings, etc. I found these helpful little notes on ehow, while I was searching for a li
