Bye Bye March

Cute toddler dress.  As of last weekend, it's SOLD!  Yay!  I'm so excited!!!!!

I brought out my magnet making supplies to make some magnets for the girls.

It's the same process as the buttons but the pin is missing from the magnet backs.  Then you attach a magnet, which is all included in the supplies.

The images came from a parenting magazine. 













Here are the girls' loving the magnets.  It only lasted an hour or so.  After the initial excitement they began trying to put them in their mouths.  Ummm...not good.  So I had to take them away.  That was a huge HUGE tantrum.

A month later, we've tried again and so far they haven't put them in their mouths.  For the sake of a clean house and safety we keep them put away unless it's time to play.

Party garland #2 finished.  Definitely need to work on getting a better picture.

This is my awesome serger that I purchased at an estate sale.  It works great but I won't be doing many color changes as it's a bi**h to thread.

See there?  Waaaayyy back in there is where one thread needs to go.  Turning the knob only brings it so close.  I needed to use the tweezers to reach it in, around, and through the tiny hole. 

After finally getting it threaded, I went and serged all the toddler dresses I had made - the waist seam connecting the bodice to the skirt.  It's so nice!

I've been using the serger like mad since then and I don't know how I ever lived without one. 

The End.

Bye Bye March!
