Start of another week:)

So another week starts:) I am catiously optimistic about how it will end. I wanna start of by saying.. I LOVE MY JOB. I have the greatest daycare parents ever. All of them are very helpful, kind and RELIABLE! Which is very important! I absolutely love my daycare kiddos too! I have some of the cutest babies ever! Matthew-5 months
Caden- Days away from turning 2
Kooper- One month younger than Jette
I really couldn't ask for sweeter babies:)

Sunday I started on the cutest little outfit collection for my, HOPEFULLY sooonn, online craft business. I am working on all the onesie appliques now. I am a perfectionist so it may take longer than expected. It is all about trial and error! I am making a zebra onesie, with matching diaper cover and hairbow. I started thinking while making the onesies, how cute would it be if I added a pair of shoes to match the whole outfit? I am going to just work on the outfits first and then see where it goes from there. I am posting a picture of pair of a ruffle bum diaper cover, DEFINITELY NOT DONE! It still needs NO FRAY on it and adjust the stiching and etc... and ELaStIc! But I am having so much fun doing it!


I am thinking of a new applique idea "I think" I will like better.. but I will post more when I get around to making it.. but this is the start:) I am very happy with it thus far.

Here are a few of the items I have on hand, in various shapes, sizes and colors:)
















a LOT of those are the first one's I have attempted-- specifically the shoe.. I am much better at it and have a brand new sewing machine.. which helps A LOT!! If you know a friend or you yourself are interested in me making you something.. let me know:) I LOVE doing it!

This weeks madness..

Though it is much like talking to myself, I decided to post (SHELLY:) This weekend had an AMAZING start! Friday my day ended a little late. Last kiddo left at 6! So I shoved the kids into the Aspen, turned on the headrest monitors and started my way to Independence for Joann's. I had a coupon for 25% my entire purchase.. I haven't made my way to a craft store for MONTHS!! It has been killing me. I drove up there only to find they had soooommmeee ammmaaazzinnnggg sales! Buy one get one free, 30%-50% off lots, and of course their remnant bins were CHUCK FULL! Yes, it was an amazing Friday. Today, my mother-in-law agreed to watch the kiddos so the hubby and I could get out.. it has been AWHILE!!! For being so young, we feel pretty damn old. We haven't had a day to ourselves in months.. so we jumped on anytime we could to go to the city without screaming from the back seat! Went to Michael's bought some clearance ribbon, and then to hobby lobby and bought some more fabric:) Okay, so I am sure you picked up I have a problem.. I am a hoarder of fabric!! ADDICTED!!



Second part of our day was spent find our baby girl, Mikenlee, a perfect 3rd birthday gift! We ended up with a 12" training bike, a Disney Princess Magic Rise kitchen, and a baking set so she can help mommy in the kitchen:) This little girl is soooo AMAZING! I <3 my Mikenlee Maddison Mae Wardell!

The pictures above are edited by me! I got an AMAZING camera for Christmas and my husband got me photoshop:) This is the frugal way of doing the yearly pictures.. we are living on a budget. I made the party hat, the tu-tu, the shirts, and bows. This is what makes me happy; sewing for my little girl!
