I would love to win a Viking Serger

I haven't been sewing and creating for very long and would have never started if it hadn't been for an older sewing machine I inherited from my aunt.  I technically haven't made anything with a pattern yet and just create stuff on my own.  I get ideas from all over and just create things.  My favorite things to make are cutie girly stuff for my little angel Alex, aka sista wista.  It's a good thing we have another girl on the way because then this girly craftiness can continue.  One day I would love to start my own line of girly stuff and sell it in some quaint boutique somewhere or even better have my own quaint boutique somewhere.  For now I'm busy caring for my family and just create for my family and friends.  I'm the kinda girl who works with what I got and makes the best of it.  I have dreamt about someday having a serger but know that this will probably not happen anytime soon unless I'm blessed with this wonderful, out of this world giveaway!  And then I will be that much closer to realizing that someday dream.... Thank you for your consideration!

The Latest Craftiness

Being that we are all settled in now I have been able to get back to that sewing machine.  Here are some of the things I have been doing lately.....

These pictures aren't that great for really seeing the dress but you get the point...
The 30min skirt to dress...

She loves to make all these goofy posses for the camera 
I've had these bandannas around forever and it's not like I wear them so I knew I had to make something out of them for sista wista.....Sister was using all her modeling skills to show off this one.... 
Brayden and his snug-a-bug getting in on the action.
Isn't it good that we are having another girl.... there just aren't as many cute boy projects.

And last but not least.... 
a preview of the project I'm most proud of, 
since I'm shocked I actually seem to be pulling it off!  
Granted it's not perfect.... but whatev I'll probably be the only one to notice the imperfections... 

I still have to make the holes for all the straps and the umbrella thing to match.... 
oh and one more thing but you'll have to wait and see....
