The project my daughters did with me!

Here's something I'm rather proud of. . . I have raised two successful babysitters. When they were starting out babysitting, I was as nervous as they were! What if something happens? Will they have to cook? What if the kids are hard to handle? I went over instructions with them right until they walked out the door. I canceled my plans and stayed home in case they called for help. When they got home, I'd want all the details and then go over what to do for next time. They got better and better with each job and my nerves calmed down when I realized they were great babysitters who knew how to keep kids safe AND have fun with them at the same time. Hearing from friends and neighbors what awesome babysitters my daughters are made me so proud!   But now they are getting older and getting different jobs, and spending more weekend nights with friends rather than babysitting, they're ready to pass the torch on to younger babysitters. We had the idea to put together a guide/kit ...

easy baby skirt



Hubby came home awhile ago with these darling baby legs for Lu but they sat in a drawer waiting for something to wear them with. So, I made her this little skirt out of a light corduroy and (the part that makes the skirt cute) this new Michael Miller trim! I sewed it around the inside of the bottom edge of the skirt so just half would show, like a little scallop edge. It would look great on the outside, as well, like a huge ric rac, which is what I may use the rest for on an old skirt of my own. . . you know, jazz it up a bit because I'm bored of it as is. Anyhow. . . thanks, Kathy Miller, for letting be part of the first group to see and use the Ruffle Rac! I love it! Free pattern here. . .
