I’ve been doing a little sewing around here.  I thought I would make a few things for Heidi for spring.  Here’s a first attempt at a pillowcase dress.  I got the owl fabric on sale at fabric.com and found the ribbon at Michael’s.  They are made for each other!!!  The little flower clip is another brilliant idea and tutorial from Prudent Baby (one of my favorite blogs I follow).

She was much more interested in eating the ribbons when she found them.

I must say that while I really love the owl fabric and ribbon, this dress did not turn out as well as I had hoped.  I found instructions to make this type of dress all over the net.  I was especially excited when I found a template/pattern for cutting the armhole because I am chicken when it comes to just cutting away on my own.  When I buy fabric, I don’t want to just experiment with it!  So, anyway, I used this pattern that I found (it even came from a magazine publication, so I thought it would be well tested and such!) and the armholes are too small!  And I have little babies!!  So, lesson learned!  Even so, we will wear it because you don’t waste things like this!

The little flower clip made me smile so much!  It went perfectly with the dress and further supports my bad habit of needing to “bow and hat” my girl like crazy!   Since we live it Texas, she fits right in with all the other big bows around.  Heehee!

I’ll share my other projects when I when I get a free minute to take pictures and upload them.  (So, it might be a while )

We have been going and going for the past couple of weeks.  There has been so much going on that my house is a disaster zone!  Please don’t come visit for the next couple of days…if you do, realize the door will only open so far! 

Anyway, last Sunday (February 14th) we had Heidi’s baby dedication.  It was very sweet and I loved that Micah was able to participate.  He felt so important!

A few days later, we decided it was time to introduce Miss Heidi to the wonderful world of food.  She still isn’t sure if she is a fan or not!

But, she does enjoy the spoon itself!

This past week has been spent preparing for the evenstill CD Release Worship Concert Saturday night.  There were SO many technical issues along the way, but the concert went so well!  Praise God!  And, we had a great crowd!  You can purchase the CD for $10 or download the album on a “pay what you like” basis.  Just visit the website for more info.

My little girl is growing up so fast.  I am shocked at how quickly the months have passed by!  Last weekend, Heidi turned 6 months old!
