What Have I Been up to Lately?

Sewing!!!  =)  I decided to go ahead and take a little break from school. I needed it, the kids needed it, so why not?! I have been wanting to sew some skirts but didn't have the time. Break time means sewing time for me! Have a look...

This is the first skirt I made. I made a few mistakes but it's wearable! And no, I didn't hem the bottom! I will get around to it... eventually! =)

The 2nd skirt is MUCH better! It's made with a knit fabric and is super comfy, and pretty!
I had this really cute knit material, so I had to make something for baby girl! It's a top. )Sorry I didn't iron it for the picture!) The bottom still isn't hemmed either. It's not very 'finished'. And, it's way too big for her to wear. I'll have to see if I can take it in a bit.
Then, I decided to take these jeans and make a skirt.
Not the best but it was the first time I made a skirt from jeans. So, not too bad!
I have also made a few tote bags. Here's a tinkerbell one. Great for a little girl, and it's for sale for $15! It's part of a fundraiser for a sweet homeschooling family that is adopting a little boy with disabilities. You can see the whole album HERE.
And this is the new tote I made for me! =) It's very roomy, great for all the books we check out at the library! (And fun stuff too.)
So, there you have it. That is what has been filling my days. Okay, not filling my days, the kids do that, but it has been my 'me' time. =)
