White Buns... from Sheila's Kitchen!

These are Sean's favorite... because they are NOT healthy.. plain ol' white buns!! Oh well.. they make great lunch sandwiches for him.. and are great with soup!  I ate three at one time 'cause they were warm out of the oven.........ughh.. I better stop baking or learn some self control :) 

Stetson-8 months old!!!!

Well, It took me awhile to let go.... I finally made up my mind yesterday when Stetson was hot and looked like this.....................

I pulled out Sean's clippers and did this..........................................

Carley's NEW ROOM................

Had a productive day today.  I got up early and met a new friend of mine at the Gym on Post. I ran two miles and visited a bit... YES, if you're wondering... I left all three kids home with Sean.  I felt so free..... it was nice to just have some girl time.  Michelle and I are going to try to go every Saturday.  Maybe more...when I have help with the kids or we may just end up walking outside on the walking trails w/ the kids.  I love doing that too if it's not too hot.

Anyway.. I came home and finished my dress!  It fits great!  I just messed up on the zipper.  After I do a dress for Carley I'll do another one for me.. and hopefully  it will turn out better.  After working out I ran to Hobby Lobby and got material to start Carley's.  My project for next week!  It'll be so cute!  Oh, and after I got home Sean helped me hang the curtains in ..............Carley's ROOM!

Here are some pictures!!  I also have letters to put up but will post one more picture when I get that done.  I haven't decided what color to paint them yet.  I got her whole name.. any ideas on colors???? It could be the same green/white/pink or speckled... or some other design.  I bought the long curtains to match her bedspread and cut them off to make the valance on the small window.  We picked up the captians bed on craigslist for 200.00 it's solid Pine and runs like 800.00 new.  We figured she'd have this bed for a long time and my sisters or whoever can sleep in it when they come to visit. I love the fact that she doesn't need a dresser.  She has a walk in closet for all her toys and hang ups.. and then all her other clothes fit in the drawers beneath. I would like to find her a cute little rocking chair and a wood toy box or bench to match... or maybe one of her many papas can make her one.. or Sean too!

This last picture was from my cell phone.. not very clear! So, heres a new cute picture of Carley!

My new dress.............

So, OK... after like 14 years of not sewing.. I was inspired by a friend to start sewing again!  I've been wanting to get started since I got a new "Janome" machine but my plan was to get all the curtains done in my house before attempting a dress.  BUT  it slowly came back to me.. it took me two days, but here it is!  I just have to finish hemming it and add a zipper to the back. I think I'll change the bow to black!  What do you think?   These pictures are from my cell phone.. so not real clear!  BTW.. I LOVE my new machine... so far it's great!
