Baptismal Gown

After searching and searching for a baptismal gown for my daughter Lily I finally came to the conclusion that they are just TOO expensive! The cheapest one I found was $40, and I was not going to spend that much on a dress she will wear once!
I decided that I would just make her a dress! It would be more special anyways since it was made by her mommy. :)
All of the supplies only cost me $12, and I made the whole thing in one night! I couldn't find a pattern that I liked, so I just measured her and made it custom fit. I am so so happy with how it turned out since I haven't made a successful dress without a pattern before! :)

New New New!

Yesterday Meadow's new furniture arrived for her bedroom! I am SO excited about it! Bob was able to be off from WLC today, so he and I put them together. They are a cream/white color and are made from reclaimed wood! I am so excited that I was able to find furniture that I love from reclaimed wood!!! This is the bedroom set that will most likely last Meadow the rest of her life with us, so I'm glad we got something quality. It looks fabulous in her room!!!

Apron

So I was making those pretzels last week, and I got flour ALL over me! That is when I realized that I needed an apron. Sarah and I were at Hobby Lobby last week, and I picked up some fabric that turned in to a reversible apron! I used the pattern from here. It is a pretty good pattern, but if I were to make another one I would make it wider at the top. It is a little too narrow for me, but it is still cute and functional! :)
