What I have been doing this weekend!
We had a busy but fun weekend and it started on Friday when my hubby took off Friday. Things slow down the week of Mardi Gras here in the south :)
I took a ton of pictures of the kids. Not the big boys because they had plans but I did manage to get pictures of the rest of them.
I have more to go through that I will share soon and some scrappy projects :)
Have a great Monday!

Favorite sewing books
I have shared that I love the book Sewing Bits and pieces
But here are 2 more that I consider must haves in my collection.
Oliver & S Little Things To Sew
This is perfect for Moms of Boys and Girls alike. A tutu, a penguin backpack and an explorers vest are on my children's list of things for me to sew for them. They had a great time looking through and marking pages.
and this book is an absolute must have for me. It is fairly new on the market and I really debated on buying it seeing that I have so many other sewing books.
Stitch By Stitch: Learning to Sew, One Project at a Time
The projects are pretty useful items but what it really does is show you project by project how to sew. It really builds on what you did with the first project and teaches something new with each progressive item. It is also a fun read. She has a great sense of humor. I made a skirt for my 2 y/o from this book I will have to take a picture to share. It is pretty big. The skirt is a size 3 but it is really a 3/4 and she is in a 2/3. Since it is a longer skirt it will last her the next 3 years. I love it so much I bought fabric to make another on (smaller this time). So if you are wanting to learn to sew, are rusting sewing or want to learn so new techniques, this book is fabulous.

sewing like a madwoman
Spring is in the air here in the south. So I have been sewing pretty little skirts for my 2 year old for the coming warm weather. Here are two I have recently finished.
This one uses a PDF pattern by Ginger Louise
and this one uses a pattern from the book Little Girls Big Style
I recommend the pattern. It was super easy to follow. No pattern pieces, just measure and rip and sew :) It only took about an hour.
I love this book and highly recommend it. It gave clear, easy to follow directions and it was also finished in an hour.
I have a few more books to recommend that I will share in a coming post.
