Our Summer.

Now that I've had a few minutes to relax I can update this blog about our summer events.

First would be we planted our garden and minus the dear (ARGH!) we did pretty good. Squash, cucumber, corn, sweet potatoes, beans, banana peppers, and bell peppers.

Here's a picture of our first reward!

Annie played all-stars in the 6 and under softball league.

We went to St. Simon's and it was heaven!

As the school year is starting there are so many things I'll be starting. I'm secretary on the board of my children's PTA. I am on the board of the softball park. I am coaching again. We will be starting girl scouts and boys scouts back up and Danielle and I are going to try out for community theater. I am also tutoring two home-schooled girls during the day to bring in some extra income. So many things this year! I love staying busy, I guess that means I'm going to be VERY happy this year! lol

It's been so long!

Well, summer is over and school is back on! We had a lot of fun this summer. We mainly stayed home (though we did take a weekend trip to the beach right before school started and it was just what we all needed to recharge our tired batteries.

This summer I started making clothes for the kids. I started with repairing the clothes they had that had holes in it and stains. Covering stains, making shorts or capri shorts. Then I moved on to making skirts from them. Then I added some cute fabric to the bottom of a couple of them. Then I found this beautiful tutorial on a market skirt (Thank you fellow blogger Dana made it!!) and I made a few of them! I plan to make much more for the girls and then do some reverse aplique shirts for the boys. I want to see if I can make shorts and things for them without it looking too "mama made it for me." lol

Here are a couple of pictures of the things I made:

The market skirts I made (I plan to make more! I'll post a picture as soon as I do)

This is my original creation (well, I didn't follow a pattern or anything).

After looking at them a few days I have decided I don't like the length and I plan to shorten them.

Well that's all I have pictures of now! I'll post more later!
