Sew Easy.... Well, sort of.

Well it's been way to long since I've written a post. The month of August ended up being quite busy. I'll have to write several posts to get things updated again, but for now, we'll start with a short post about the sewing project I took on last week.

Last week Gavin had double ear infections and a nasty cold to go with it. (Of course, this week I've got the nasty cold...) Anyway, he took some nice 2 hour long naps in the afternoons, so I decided to work on making a dress that I didn't have to squeeze into. I have two maternity skirts, but all my dresses are just barely fitting these days.

I found a pattern I liked in a box of patterns I got for free from a friend in my ward. It's not technically a maternity dress, but with a bigger size the style lent itself the option of being one. I worked on it all last week and was able to have it done to wear on Saturday to a sealing for one of Ben's cousins. I was happy with how it turned out, and it wasn't too difficult of a pattern... (though there were a few bumps in the road ;) ) So now here are a couple of pictures of me with my pregnant belly sporting my new dress!

Oh my goodness, I saw your blog on the Birks blog so I thought I'd check it out. I'm so excited for you congratulations on being pregnant again. When are you due? And the dress you made looks awesome, way to go.
Things are awesome for Grant and I we no longer live in Utah, it's now CA and from here who knows. We had a baby on the 4th of July and I'm just overwhelmed with love for him, his name is Edwin. You should check out my blog there are pictures of him.
Oh yeah I can't believe how big your boy is now, time flys.
I'm so glad I got to see your blog.
