When I made the blue dress for Lilly, I was so excited to give it to her. "Look Lilly, mommy made you a dress!" Her response? "I want a pink one." Thus, the second dress. I get no respect!

Learning to sew
My amazingly talented friend Cristie is teaching me to sew. The extent of my knowledge was throw pillows and baby blankets. Now I'm learning a whole new world! I have only learned to make a couple of things so far, so I get a little obsessed and start to make duplicates of everything. I can't wait to learn more, I definitely have the sewing bug right now! Here are some pics of some of the things I have made (I didn't make any of the shirts, though. They are store bought. Maybe some day.....):

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! I love the pink one. We tried to go to JoAnns yesterday in Rocklin and the cutting line was 2 hours long and the checkout was 1 hour longs. Thus, we bought nothing. At least she tried on the blue dress. Summer probably would not have. I redid Summers dress with the T-Shirt top and she LOVED it and gave me a big hug. Makes it all worth it!

Cool!!! You have reason to be proud of yourself!!
I'm envious though, I wish I was a creative person :-D!
Oh my gosh Monika, are you kidding me??? Have you seen your awesome photography, party ideas, taste in clothing, ETC, ETC???? Nice try!
Mhhh, so maybe I have creative eyes but not hands?? :-D
