Sew much fun!

I've finally had some time lately to start sewing again. I really do love it but it can be time consuming and frustrating!!! Thankfully my Mom is SUPER talented and my in-laws gave me a GREAT sewing machine which makes things much easier! So last year I watched Martha Stewart every day...I know she's crazy but I learned so much! Anyways, she made these adorable washcloth puppets and I decided to try it out. Since then I've made both the puppy and pig that she has on the website. Baby Emory has the puppy and my Mayzie loves the pig. SO I decided to try it again but without Martha's pattern because she doesn't have one for a turkey (and I mean who doesn't want a turkey washcloth puppet?!) I wasn't as successful as I would have hoped but had fun doing it and excited to give it to baby Dudak!!! :) BTW this is really easy and requires a hand towel and felt...that's it! The pattern's on Martha's website (yup...first name basis...).








Since I was getting the hang of it again I wanted to try to make some clothes for Mayzie. A jumper seemed pretty simple and I had seen them done in some specialty shops and they were super cute. So I hopped down to Hobby Lobby and found some fun fabric and ran over to JoAnne's and found a pattern and got to work (with Mom's help of course!) She helped me with the first (the brown and pink one) but I did the second one on my own. I'm hoping to get her monogram in hot pink on the green one! It was pretty easy so I think I'm gonna make some more with some cuter fabric sometime soon!!








Mommy's little model! :)




And on a random note I took some pretty cute pictures of Mayzie today :) She's wearing a t-shirt that my sweet friends got her on our annual girls trip that I didn't get to go on this year. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends!!! Mayzie says thank you!!!
