An announcement

My parttime overnight job is ending.  I prayed a lot as to what I should do.  The sleep position has changed over the last 6-9 months into an awake position.  I can't handle that.  I know it's only 4 nights a pay period, but they really do mess me up for days.  There's really no way for me to prepare for an overnight or fully recover in the day before or the day after.  I have the children to care for.  I really only have a couple hours in the evening that are all mine, and I share those with the Hubby.

Anyhoo...  I turned in my notice and will be completely done mid-June.  I am very happy with this decision.

I've also decided that I will not be opening up my own WAHM business sewing/knitting. (That's what I thought I might do after leaving the part time job.)  I agree, I do incredible work.  I'm a perfectionist and that's an awesome quality and a detriment at the same time.  I really want/need to sew for my family.  I enjoy sewing because it allows me to start and complete a project in a short amount of time.  It gives me a sense of completion.  My mom-job is never ending.  There are days when everything I do around the house is undone in a matter of minutes.  Sewing really fills that void.  But when I'm busy working for others, it kinda takes the fun out of it.  I love the joy I feel every time one of my children wears something that I've made for them.  I don't get that when I make something for someone else. 

There's also something else.  I've been asked by our church to work the website.  I guess that makes me a "webmaster".  LOL  Kinda reminds me of one of those people who used to play dungeons and dragons.  LOL 
It's a small part time gig, but it gives me the flexibility to work from home and I love that I'll be able to share some of my creativity with our members.  God knew it was time for me to leave the "sleep" job.  The church needs me.  :)

THE DRESSES ARE DONE!!!!!

YAY!!!!!  YAY!!!!!!  YAYA!!!!

Well, if you know me, I've had these two dresses on the "burner" since the beginning of March!  It took awhile to get all the details worked out with my friend, she had a baby and was MIA for a bit.  Then, there were issues with the pattern.   FINALLY, they're both done!!!

Here's the front of the first dress.  The second one is all black.  They turned out wonderful!  It's the same pattern I used for my Easter dress.

Pocket Diapers

Just finished these:

New Sewing Schedule

I've decided to revamp my sewing schedule for the summer.  If it works better, I'll keep it.  :)

I'm going to do all sewing in batches, two batches per month.

I'm excited about it and hope it works out well.

Easter Dresses

Sorry this post is kinda late, but we've been busy around here.  :)

I was able to get the dress pattern to work for me and I was able to get 2 similar dresses sewn for my daughters.  So we all matched!  We were so cute!
