Bento lunch

I had to work this whole weekend, so I surprised my girls and made bento lunches for when I am gone. I need to do it more often! Then I know they are eating healthier than cup 'o noodles, lol.
This lunch is peanut butter & honey, a granola bar, fiber veggie wheat thins, raisins & chocolate covered pretzels. At the last minute she wanted fruit leather, so i used mini cookie cutters on top of the lunch punch ice cream cutters.
The girls both got Everest lunch boxes for Christmas and I have to say I really love the design!

{winter}

I seem to find myself doing most of my knitting during the winter. This green hat is one of my favorites, and Bug loves it too!

Once again...

I say this every year- I can't believe my big Bug is getting so old! 5!!! She requested a special crown for preschool tomorrow so I spent my evening whipping up this "lemonade" crown for her. It was nice to get a little fun sewing done!

owl for my big girl

Somehow in the Christmas craziness I was able to make a couple dresses for my girls. I used LBB's new A-line dress pattern and love it! The owl shirt was not long enough on its own, so the black was a nice lengthener. I am amazed I get anything done some days, my sweet {almost} 9 month old does not nap for me. I am super pleased with a half hour nap once! Usually he will sleep for about twenty minutes for me, and I swear this boy waits for his daddy to come home & cuddle him to sleep! He is snoozing within minutes of when his dad gets home.

KCWC: Day 7

Another simple refashion.
For Bug.
Yeah, I almost forgot about her :)

It was originally a tank I chopped off below the bust, I serged the top of what became the skirt and added the ties from the tank as a waistband. There is a zipper in the side that I'm pretty darn proud of... I don't do a lot of zippers but somehow it just worked this time. Yeah! The fabric has a little metallic gold to it in places, which is Bug's favorite part but it didn't photograph well.

KCWC: Day 6

Flutter sleeves.
I love everything about them.

Thankfully Moo does too!

{I am thankful she let me style this outfit.}

 See the animals in the background?
Yup.
Bison.

I love where we live!
For this tunic, I modified the Sienna dress from LBB.
It is such a great pattern!

KCWC: Day 5

My sweet 3 year old loves blue. LOVES blue. So it's fitting that she has a new blue skirt!

This took less than half an hour to make & take pics of. Hooray for a great refashion! It was originally a tank and I just chopped off the top & added an elastic casing. Perfect.

Unfortunately work has been getting in my way of sewing this weekend. I hate it when that happens! So when Monday rolls around I'll finish up the next couple things I had planned out & finish off the week!
