A New Day with a re-newed interest

Hey everyone an I have to say it feels so right being back to my old self again

Today was busy but Awesome! you know Nana is having fun when her wonderful daughter comes to pick up her girls after work and says "Moma, you know you are having fun with all these kids around!"


My neighbor & long time friend Pam told me I went from Super Moma to Super Granny LOL!
Synoria another awesome friend told me I was just crazy!! LOL'd at that one!

Well, she's right! Even though all but 2 of them were the neighborhood kids we do have fun! Great bunch of kiddos & We love to have them around!

I did a bit of sewing today for Caprice...She got a new top for picture day tomorrow & of all things it needed to be altered! I got her to try it on an the "quick" fix hit me like a bomb! It took me longer to thread the machine than it did to actually sew it up lol...

After doing those two little seams I got to thinking why aren't you in here sewing!!?? I know now I was a bit burnt out on life & sewing. You know sometimes "life" just stops you for some reason or the other..

So I made myself a ever-so famous "to-do-list"..I am making it a point to make 2 new outfits a day, heck I even figured out the timing! In the morning before the girls get here I can make at least 2 new infant/toddler sets, then at naptime just make another :)

I got my list on the fridge door an my darling grand daughter Maddie who just turned 6 informed me of the "frog set" & a Hannah Montana set I promised her!! NO she never forgets or for that matter lets me forget!

My other two grand daughters are Brenna Rose 10 months & Braylen 9 months! They are walking an saying short words like ma ma, dada papa an nana of course! lol I am just glad they can't really talk yet! Also, I can't leave Caprice out she is my wonderful neighbor's daughter she is 8 an also doesn't let me forget! She reminded me today that I also have to finish her 2 outfits of course being hannah montana an a princess one!

WHEW!! I am tired already :-)


So if nothing else I will be getting all 4 of the girls sets done asap! Quite often I will take pattern pieces from 1 pattern, or more & come up with mix & match pieces that go awesome together. This is what I want a perfectly orginal look that I made.

Also, I get this look in my head & can't get it out so I kinda try & draw it out an add measurements an take brown shipping paper to make the finished pattern! Then I'll make a "sample set" an some I toss but some I complete an there is yet another entirely orginal designed set or dress or an array of other things I like to make.

I like my sets to look orginal as possible, practical, washable, affordable an most of all comfortable! Especially for the little ones!


Well, since its almost 2 am I must at least try to close my eyes for a bit! See you all later today if all goes well !! Wish me all kinds of luck :-)
