Talents (or lack there of)

I have never claimed to have many talents. But as I try new things, I discover that I don't have many... I am not being self deprecating, but honest. I don't like paying alot for hair bows so I decided to make some. I looked at this website http://www.girlythingsbows.com/ and got some great instructions and ideas!

Last week Hadley got this "fairy tale dress" and that website had a castle hair clip!

The bows turned out OK (presentable) so I decided that I REALLY wanted to learn to sew.

I tried to make Hadley a sticking for Christmas. I got the single sequin background stars (all 5 of them) on and then Aunt Jodie had to take over. Thank goodness she did, because it turned out great! I keep seeing all these cute A Line baby dresses and Onzies like Judie can make with Appliques sewn on and I want to do it!

Side story from the car ride to Sugars:

Hadley LOVES her car mirror. There isn't a middle headrest in the Tahoe so I have to turn around to see her reflection. She is now staring at the mirror with a mean face that looks like "Ok other baby, there isn't enough room here for two so you gotta leave"So After Abbe and I walked with the babies Gayle gave me a LONG sewing lessons. It went ok at her house. Then I brought the machine home and I have to re thread the needle every two and a half minutes and apparently is VERY DIFFICULT to sew a strait line and keep the foot pedal at the same speed to make the stitches even...

I complained to Lauren that "I can't sew" and her response "I know, I saw your attempt at the stocking Jodie had to fix." She said I had many other talents and I made her list them. They made me laugh so I am sharing :)
