A Glimpse into my Life.

So a couple of days turned into a few weeks. I seriously had intentions to post but somehow it kept getting pushed back further and further. Now, the kidlets are in bed, I've done enough housework to placate that inner urge, and I'm blogging. :D



Easter was nice. We spent it with Hubby's family and Jake came with us. He's a wonderful sport. Kelli and I hid Easter eggs in the in-laws back yard and then turned the kids loose. Jake took Pink Princess around and they were quite the cute duo. I did learn something though. Don't let baby drool mix with Easter egg dye. Jake gave Pink Princess an egg with her name on it. She drooled on the egg and it stained her onsie pink. Of course she had to taste test everything!



Rynie was so proud of his Easter eggs! We almost couldn't hide them because he had to show them off and admire his coloring skills.



Just because I think this is totally adorable:



Rynie is so cute. He was telling us about his Church class Sunday. He told us about Jesus and how He loves us, and since He loves us He let them put nails in His hands (both of them) and His feet. Then He died. They waited three days and then He left His place and showed people the holes. He was alive again! And did you know Jesus loves us? What a cute little guy. Rynie was so happy to tell us all about Easter and the Resurrection. I just love that little guy.




In other news, my aunt gave me her old serger. It's 20+ years old and a White model. I took it in and had it serviced and it works wonderfully. It is making things go so much faster!

Pink Princess's dress is coming along. I didn't finish but I did a bit of work. I actually ended up sewing some of the snaps on the slip on backwards TWICE so it was time to take a break. I was trying to sew while monitoring Rynie with scissors and evidently that didn't work too well this time.

The Regency Short Stays I was working on have had issues. Mainly I have issues. I have dropped enough of the pregnancy weight that by the time I finished the set I was working on, they were way too huge. They were fitted beautifully a few weeks ago. So I cut out my normal size and I still have to take them in a decent amount in the side seam. I think I may try to go down one more size and try again. I hope to finish them before the end of this week so that I can start on my clothes for London and Bath.

And here is the surprise I was talking about before! I am now the proud owner of a treadle sewing machine! I have to do a bit of cleaning on it, but that's fine with me. Everything works on it and I am so excited to get it cleaned and up and running!





Good Night and Sweet Dreams to everyone!
