Getting close to Christmas! Shopping is almost done (just need a trip to Joann’s now!) and I got my sewing projects done last night! This was just a quick project that my sister-in-law gave me the idea for because she said my nieces both want hooded towels so I jumped at the idea. I purchases …
What a wonderful weekend we had! On Saturday my sister-in-law brought my nieces up for a visit and we relaxed and caught up and played with the girls. The girls helped me make chocolate with white chip cookies and we ended the evening going out to a nice dinner. It was very relaxing and just …
Christmas came early to this Williams’ family. The main reason was that I wanted Ryan to get to use his main christmas present before christmas AND I wanted to give him all his gifts (since they all went with the main gift) at once. So ryan set my big gift up for the same day …
Well the weather did not agree with our weekend plans but we blustered on (pun intended). Saturday we ran errands to start and planned to put the copper over the diningroom windows but the rain started early. So instead we stuck with just doing windows this weekend. We took out 3 of the 6 livingroom …
The cousins came over today to pick up their costumes! We had the obligatory picture session… Now a little trip down memory lane … when did this halloween costume extravaganza all start?

After going out to dinner Ryan joined me in the sewing room to watch movies while I sewed. He even stayed up ‘late’ with me so I could get the costumes completely finished last night!

Got a late start last night so not a lot done but I did manage to hem the skirt and add the trim to Chloe’s vampiress costume. It still needs a bustle to be made but I’m doing that very last since it’s not essential for the costume, just adds some nice flair. With 4 …
Officially, one of 4 costumes is now finished and a second is on it’s way! Last night was quite productive. First I attached the sleeves to the jacket so the Witch costume (dress and jacket) are officially done! Then I moved on to Chloe’s Vampiress skirt. This is actually a two-parter. First there’s a pleated …
Last night I spent a few hours working on the Witch costume for Georgia. Specifically the jacket since the dress is already done. It went together pretty quickly and all I have left to do is to attache the sleeves to the jacket and put in the grommets! All the rest is done! It’s a …
I never did write about last weekend, we went to my sister-in-laws so Ryan could help his Dad and brother-in-law work on the roof and add a new dormer. This weekend we had planned to work on the window panels however the rain kept us inside all weekend instead. While I puttered and did various …
