First real snow

We got 3-4 inches of snow but we have 1- 1/2 foot snow drifts due to winds 25-30 mph.

Here's Ben, Sophia and Abbey sledding down the little hill in our backyard when it wasn't windy and freezing.

This is one of our windows in the 3 season porch. I think it was -11 this morning.

Crazy with the sewing

I got a sewing machine (the Project Runway edition) and I found several "refashion" websites... that combined with added time on my hands has really inspired me to sew... a lot.

Here is a skirt made from Ben's old polo shirt.

Here are some Pajama pants made from the girls old flannel recieving blankets. The first pj pants I made for Sophia were HOOJ. I learned from them though.

Here are 3 not quite finished projects.

1. This was a medium sized womens sweater and now its a Sophia dress. I need orange thread to finish the neck piece (you might be able to see the pins holding it in place)

2. This was a long sleeved hoodie and now it's a vest. I need to get pink trim to sew around the arm holes.

3. This was a size 9 month dress. It will be an apron for Abbey when I get some white ribbon to make a tie and add a white pocket.

I love this web site My Mamma Made It. She uses Anthropologie to inspire the stuff she makes. That will be my next project (or set of projects)
