Working Weekends

In case I haven't mentioned it before.....I like to make stuff. A typical Saturday or Sunday in our house: Sometimes, Boo and I will get up early on Saturday, go have a "girl's only" breakfast so Mr. LBB can sleep in, and then we usually hit the fabric store when it opens. Mr. Lil Blue Boo works around the house and watches golf, I always have a new project going on, Boo pitters and patters between the two of us lending a helping hand. We always make some favorite meal for dinner like fajitas or fish tacos and then usually settle down with Netflix for the night. This morning we went out for a family breakfast and a productive Costco run. I LOVE weekends.

On Saturday Boo helped me with some seahorse silk screens on some red striped nautical fabric we found:


Then I let her pick the next print: mazes.....of course we didn't think about reversing the image when we drew it out....so unless you follow the magenta maze it is a tricky dead end!


I spent the weekend sewing some fun dresses. I worked on a custom birthday dress order.....and decided to make three more for my Big Cartel shop while I was at it:


Some other custom orders I finished up:

A mother/daughter set based on the one I made for myself and Sienna:


And a nerdy girl racer back dress:


My daughter starts her first day of preschool tomorrow at church down the street! So excited but nervous too. I've never had to make a lunch before. She's not nervous at all. When we went for registration I couldn't get her to leave....that is a good sign. I've been so backed up with custom orders, tutorials, and my patterns that I decided it was time to put her into "big girl" school for a few days a week! Plus.....she needs something fun to do this summer when it is 115 degrees outside everyday! Maybe I'll have more time to read all my favorite blogs now!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
