In LOVE with this....

These adorable little dress patterns found here!! This one is called Miss Lily but it's not available until April? , I think? However, I am already planning on getting it and a couple of others: the Miss Madeline & the Miss Molly, which are available NOW!!! :)

Also, as a side note, because you know how much I LOVE baby names, I have to say that she has beautiful taste in names!! (Claire was almost Madeline at one time & Lily was almost Molly) ...........................

Anyway, just had to share these with ya'll; I know that some of you sew and are pretty good at it, too!! Thought you might enjoy these. :)

Have a great Wednesday!! It's icy & COLD here & in a few minutes I am off to get necessary supplies!! Stay warm, everyone!

Love,

Julie

a look at my 2009...

A few things I want to share with ya'll!!!!

*Hubby found extra work to take up some slack with our finances!! :) Thanks SO much to the good person who is offering the job!!

*The Love Dare is AMAZING!!! Wow. It's just really kicking my tail all over the place!! (more on this later) ;)

*Income tax return coming soon which means:

1. get ahead on bills!!!

2. home improvement projects

3. new computer (hopefully!!)

4. and these

Because just as soon as I get these babies, I get to start RUNNING again!!!! I am SO excited and I just can't wait!! Running does SO much for my state of mind and I am looking forward to the alone time, time to pray and think and hear God. That's what running does for me! :)

*starting on my annual first of the year DEEP cleaning just as soon as I get through cleaning up after this sickness, YUCK.

A few things on my list to do:

*take down light fixtures and wash thoroughly

*Wash walls (yes, I do this)

*Clean out and scrub refrigerator and freezer

*organize pantry, girls closets and bookshelves

*organize bathroom cabinets (Again, ugh.)

*Get Drew's room, FINISHED......

and,

START SEWING!!!!!! (I want to find a simple book of easy projects that I can teach myself and therefore, teach the girls later) I know a little bit about sewing but I want to practice, practice, practice and just get SO much better!!

Well, that's all I can think of for now but ya'll know me and you know how I LOVE to make lists, so I will be back with more, I am sure!!! :)

Love,
Julie

Dreaming..Wishing...Believing...

The reason for the name of this post is that I dream of making stuff like this all of the time, I wish I had the skills to do it ,and now, for the first time, I truly believe in myself enough to make it happen! I am talking about sewing! It's so funny, my sister sews very well but until recently has been afraid to cook anything very complicated! I am the exact opposite! I cook anything and everything but I am afraid to try and sew something that looks intimidating! Go figure! :o)

I so want to get these made for the girls summer wardrobes before the baby comes! Aren't they adorable?!

*If you like the look of these, I found my inspiration at CWDkids.com (click on the link)

They have a free catalog and all of their stuff is super cute! I can't really afford to buy it which is why I am sewing it! lol. :o)

Have a Terrific Thursday! Love, Julie
