My kiddos went back to school yesterday...

So I'm happy they went to school because they needed outta my house! but here is a conversation that Deblin (my oldest) and a little girl had at school..

So he says they were in the library reading books.. something about Zack and Cody from Disney Channel..

Deblin: Cody has a girlfriend.
Little girl: Yeah, it's Miley.
Deblin: Yeah..
Little girl: I feel like I'm your girlfriend.

What the heck?? First day of school? Come on! This girl is fast! She's moving in so quick on my little boy! I'm not ready to let him go... lol I sent him to school to get an education.. not pick up chicks! Man... I'm in trouble.. And he doesn't even know her name!

here's some pictures of their first day:








You know I had to put something on their backpacks! They were just cheap backpacks from walmart... they wanted them and I had some flame fabric so I appliqued the first letter of their names on them.

Flower girls...

So I've been trying to do more "fancier" dresses.. The kind people would want for weddings, special occasions, pictures.. you get it. I'm not where I want to be but I will get there if I keep practicing! here are some...




Obviously it's the same dress just different color ribbon. What I did was used a crochet headband for the waist and I sewed the top bodice onto the headband and then tied the tulle strips through the holes in the headband! I think it's cool! the back ties similar to the last dress I'm gonna post. Just long satin straps that tie through the holes in the back or around the neck I suppose!

And here's another one I did.




So they aren't that fancy YET..but they will be! I have to make some rough drafts before I can construct my masterpiece of course! haha I'm going to get better.. I just gotta keep on working!! I've ALWAYS loved little princess looking dresses!
