Now here go my shirt. I did this from Butterrick 5001 but, the pattern is a dress I only did the top part for my shirt and added more fabric to make a fuller shirt that hangs on the left side of the shirt. Love this fabric and love how I made this pattern my own.

While it is tied on the side of the shirt. It can be tied and untied.
As you can see in the back I love reading lol.


Now on with the show with Nesa outfit. No pattern done here. I used some old shorts of Nesa's for my draft. Alsot his fabric I only had 1 yard of it and I made it worth it. Used flannel for this outfit. It's a short and a short sleeve jacket/bolero. Size 6, 7

The bottom of the shorts has 2 ribbon bows on both sides of the legs. Jacket/bolero is shorter in the front but, made it longer in the back.

I liked this fabric for this next outfit that I did for Nesa. I also didn't use a pattern just used Nesa as my model for her outfit. Also had 1 yard of this fabric as well. I call this school girl outfit. Nesa wanted a skirt and I thought of those school uniforms for this outfit. It's down in pleats.

Skirt and bolero/jacket shorter bolero/jacket. This outfit can be wored with out the jacket as well but, thinking about added a button to the bottom of the jacket.

Don't mind the shirt she will really wear this with a plain white shirt.

Ok I guess that is all for now. I also been crocheting but, didn't want to update with my crocheting until I am done with it completely wanted on on something for Nesa with those pink crochet squares I showed before that was a start but, I am a little farther ahead now.

Sorry that most of the pictures are so big. Didn't get a chance to edit the pictures and crop them up sorry. :) But, I think you all get the point of the pics.


Thanks for dropping in. Hope everyone have a great week. Take care. Now got to go and look at my fellow bloggers blogs. :)

Work In Progress

After all these months I finally get to say I have some WIP projects. Well working on some long term and short term projects. I went looking on Ravelry looking at a few of my low term projects that I want to finish up. Like this Tropico Afghan that I started back in August that I wanted to finish for Christmas for my mom but, now I will have to try to finish it before her bday June. She don't know I am making it for her all this time I have kept it a secret so she will be really suprise when I give it to her. I've made plenty of squares but, here is what I am working on from a cross stitch book. This was the work in progress the last time I took pictures so hoping to come along soon. I just haven't been putting together the squares just crocheting them up first. Now here is another long term project I've been on and off working on since February 2009 OMG that's been awhille lol. Here is when I had about 50% done but, now I would say I have 75% done. When I am fina...

All my pictures I don't have cause I used my cell phone to take these pictures. But, these I was able to manage. Some I just couldn't but, Nesa wanted pictures for herself. When she came to the ICU. Right after the transplant. Her belly with the 38 saples and the 2 draining tubes on the side. She got out the ICU Sunday She is now moving around a bit. She will still go home on the oxygen until her lungs heel of the lung diesase. She still have one of her drains in her belly for the next week. The saples will come out in 2 more weeks.

My First Cross Stitch Pattern Used As Crocheting

Image
Well gave it my all and have to say I like it. Been working on this on and off for 2 days would have been down sooner but, had some sewing to do for some friends but, here is my progress. Haven't yet decided if it will be the center piece of a blanket or a pillow but, wanted to show off what I have so far. Have to say it turned out ok. I like following grid lines to come up with a nice crochet center piece. I liked it so much that I came up with my own design to do a Sudoku blanket. I know I know that would take some time lots of time but, I want to give it a shot and go for it to see how it comes out. I have plan to get start on it tomorrow at least start it off.:) But, this is the design I followed: Sorry I took a picture of the paper upside down but, you all get the picture of what I did. I also didn't do so well with the red in the center but, I gave it my all and I like how it turned out. I have many more designs I like to do one day but, so you have it. What do you all th...
