My Creative Space

Playing along with Kootoyoo again this Thursday. I'm trying to get a head start on Easter dresses for Georgia and Avery. This is an adorable smocking pattern with bunnies and flowers. I'll put one bunny on Avery's and three on Georgia's. Not perfect but made with love!


Check out the other Creative bloggers out there!

Pink Saturday

Another Pink Saturday already and I hope you join me in visiting some of the pink blogs from here.
Showing some more dresses I made for a friend's grand daughters. Trying to do some Christmas early.








I love this fabric by Alexander Henry-so bright and fun! (trying to find some more) It's hard to see but I used some fancy stitches along the hem.

I hope you all have a wonderful Pink Saturday and will try to visit as much as possible this week. I won't be participating for a while with family matters and holiday and sewing obligations. Wishing y'all all some wonderful months ahead with family and friends!

Movie sets and loving my repaired Bernina

They filmed a small movie in town last week and I took a few pictures of the set before they started. It's being done by a local couple who have done quite a few films, historical fiction and non-fiction. This one is about WWII soldiers who married French girls and brought them home after the war. They set up this store front to recreate the 1940's.


Isn't it neat??



Don't you wish the prices were the same today??



I did go watch a little while when I walked my dog but didn't bring the camera. Loved the old cars and clothes!!

On another note, sewing happily with my repaired machine. I had sent it off for a few(long) weeks and really missed though my d-i-l lent me her Brother. I've been having fun with the fancy stitches that I couldn't use for so long. Check it out..............


Little flower stitch.



Zig-zag for the applique and a buttonhole stitch around the yoke.



Making me soooooooo  happy!!!

Cowgirls and their horses.

I finally finished the cowgirl dress for a little girl who won't wear dresses. Her mom let her choose her own fabric and at first I thought, hmmmmmm. I really like how it turned out, so sweet with the ruffle! (and she wore it!)


I also made her a backpack to match. Her mom said she loved that more for all her horses! Fun and sweet! I think I may make more of these for gifts.



Still haven't figured out the new blogger pictures and how to move them around.

good morning to all and i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! (post Christmas post below) here is a picture of a  couple of dresses i made for my daughter-in-law to give. i made them both reversible so they could get twice the wear. i loved that for my girls, especially when we went somewhere and they got dirty.
here are the flowers i crocheted for the blue courdoroy one.
and here is a pic of the other side of each.
hope y'all all go to visit the pink ladies on beverly's blog-see y'all!
