Srew up

I've accidentally deleted picture while editing in hopes to make it to look better .I have no idea how to move pictures around without messing everything up and I can't spend any more time to try to figure it out :) But I really want to have picture here of my silly girl wearing dress I've made her for the first time so I'll gonna plaster it right here . It's just a blog and I'm gonna take it easy , HA!

Are you taking pictures of me again ?!

It's been a week now sense school is finally out . We've been relaxing , boys have been staying up later than on school nights after evening swims and sleeping in and I'm sure enjoying the freedom of doing what and when we want or nothing at all .Ask me about it month from now :)
Weather has been really nice and couple of days ago we spend the afternoon at the lake bathing in the sun and enjoying this glorious heat for the first time this year . Lilly loved to play in the water on the shallow lake shore and she even had a little nap which gave me a chance to finish the embroidery patch for her dress while boy's been digging in the sand and building a dam in the nearby stream.

I had to finished up this sweet dress that night! I've purchased it as a kit here way before Christmas and I wish that I took a pictures when it arrived . It came beautifully packaged and I felt like I was receiving a present for myself :)Prints of Little Red in the forest full of mushrooms are just adorable and I also love the quality of this fabric as I've never tried fabric printed by Spoonflower .I have to see yet how it withstand washing .Pattern was very easy and quick to use and I hope due to simple lines that she may be able to wear it a little longer as a top .I did not make it right away as other things were calling and I knew I had some time before summer arrives and Lilly can wear it anyway. So ; it's finished now ; just before her first birthday. I love this sweet little dress so much that I'm thinking of getting more of this cute fabric so I can make her another one when she grows out of it .

Ms.Lilly hates to take pictures ! Every time I pull out my camera out she gets very busy looking for something on the ground or she turns around and crawls away from me. I can't really bribe her with anything yet so I usually call up member(s) of my crew and ask them to do something highly entertaining so she will look up.Trouble is that boys are getting bored of it and start to complain and whine when they see camera in my hands. But at least I can bribe them :)

Sometimes I do get lucky and snap a really happy one!

Quilting...again !

This quilt was made for my oldest sons 12 birthday . I've had such a hard time finding the right fabric that would be all boy and not too childish . I was so happy when Sweetwater came up with the Pure line ... I love Moda fabrics !

I've used this pattern by Amy Smart . I've added a layer of minky fabric to the backing for an extra warmth for those cold Canadian winters and my son loves how soft it feels .

I was stitching the binding on the night before his birthday and when he was at school I washed it and wrapped it and he is sleeping underneath ever since .

I think that I have enough fabric to make a quilt for one of his brother yet and I'm gonna go with this block as It's really fun and simple block to make.

And this little girly quilt in progress just needs a binding .

There is not much time for sewing right now withh busy crawling baby in a house :)
but I've rediscovered my passion for crochet. It is such wonderful and portable craft !

I've made this sweet little dress for my baby girl a while ago and it actually fits her perfectly . Not for long as it goes with babies .
Long waited summer is finally here !

Happy Crafting
