Sewing going on...

...and I think there is more for a while. ^_^
There are times during the year where I just don't feel like sewing at all but recently, I have been enjoying it more than usual.
Foo is getting big. Clothing is starting to get too short on her, plus our 5 years supply of clothing is coming to its end and I am being more pushed to sew something for the oldest one because if I don't, then she wont have choices to wear. This winter, long sleeves dress have been quite pricey and since I know how to sew, I look at the inside of the dresses, feel the fabric, see the details and I am not real impressed. You can truly see by the stitches that ready to wear clothing just doesn't have that special thing, AND I want my daughter to still look like a child but once they get to size 5T, clothing just gets a bit skimpy out there.


Heidy & Finn Cowl Neck Jumper Dress

Lina has been needing some winter clothes that don't end up being too tight around her cloth bum. Lots of mamas have told me that NCBE is somewhat an ok pattern for bigger bums and i must say that it is actually perfect.


New Conceptions Baby Essentials

I have another dress cut already, 2 actually. They have been waiting for me for over 3 months and my sewing mojo didn't come back until just last week. They are spring dresses so I am not even looking at them yet, which i should since Michigan's winter has been quite mild and I have a feeling spring will come early this year. :D

I thought what this guy has to say it is very powerful. It is a great reminder of what God wants for me and what He has done.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!

At least, i will try to make them happen.
I have never done this and the first time i heard of them, was here in the USA so i think it is about time to see how this works for me.
So my list goes like this...

*Work on my relationship with God. I know He hasn't forgotten about me, but i have put him aside. I know it sounds bad but i am just trying to be honest here.
*FORGIVE. But that is after i have worked on my relationship with Him. People, especially "family" have done or said horrible things to me or to someone in my little family and i have kept resentment for the longest time. i think it is time to really talk about this and try to Forgive.
*Spend more quality time with my husband. After being a mom for 4 1/2 years, i have finally been able to see that Ben and I need more time for each other. We love our children and we want more BUT we also need to put more attention to our relationship. Don't take me wrong, it is all good but we need to make it better in some ways.
*Teach my Foo how to speak in Spanish. I am doing great with Lulu but i really need to focus more on Foo this year.
*Try to sew items for my Etsy page to save/raise some extra money for extra things, like mini trips. Friends have asked me several times to do this but i usually just sew it and give it away as a present. I think i am at that place where i think my sewing skills are good enough to sell.
*Sew more fabric than buy more fabric. I have enough to sew just about 80 girls dresses and it is taking over my basement.

Here is to HOPE that i will accomplish some of things this year!
