capes for christmas.

ive been meaning to post this for a bit

as i've been thinking seriously about making

one of these and i thought sara (ahem...therese)

might enjoy a circle skirt spiced up for the 

holidays. looks pretty easy right?

find the tutorial here

super heroes.

 some pretty fancy stuff going on here. 

let me tell you.

ruby was overlooking my martha stewart 

magazine and spotted these super heroes

for halloween, which led to some spontaneous

capes, and many a damsel in distress being 

rescued by some very cute little heroes.

 some intense consulting going on here.

so behind.

 so ive been a pretty horrible slacker when it comes 

to blogging...or more precisely being online in general.

i just usually feel like i can always find something better 

to do...dishes, picking up, sleeping, soaking up my kids, 

reoganizing, sewing, and the list goes on. 

so on that note, a little while back i really felt inspired 

to buy some patterns and make girlie dresses...

working up to maybe making myself another dress 

(we'll see shall we).

so ruby helped me to pick out the pattern and fabric

which was half of the fun. 

we ended up with this 'annie' dress

which i am just happy she likes to wear,

b/c there is nothing worse than all that work and effort

and the honesty of a 3 yr old not really liking it. 

so here a some fun pics to share of one of our downtown 

adventures recently. a trip to the market for a few things.

and a surprise pink apple. 

quelle surprise!

oh, and for some reason the water was still on.

oh yeah, it was still kind of hot.

so declan had no problem getting totally soaked.

that crazy guy.
