Happy Halloween

Busy Busy

I got my new serger and I absolutely love it!!!! I can't believe I have sewn since I was 12 without one. I have made a new skirt or dress every day and am having tons of fun. I have sold about 4, so that makes it fun. I had one of my good friends Kyra come and pick out her own fabrics to put together and it is fun to see how people's tastes are so different. I finally got one made for Tristen too. Otherwise, not much has happened at all. I am just sewing until I can't stay awake anymore.

My favorite new dress

I really don't know if I am going to be able to sell this one. I really love it. Tristen didn't want to take it off, and I kinda didn't want her to either. I made it in her size for a reason;) I really love it, so I had to show it off a little

Curly's Creations

I was bribed by Matt that if I started to sell some dresses online that he would buy me a serger to make them a little easier. So, as I was sewing these extra dresses, Tristen decided that they were for a girl named "Curly", and we came up with Curly's creations. I am selling them in lots of different color combos and sizes 12months-7. They are about $20 to $30, depending on the size. Look on Etsy.com under seller user name ashjcass, also type in ashjcass.etsy.com or leave me a comment and I will get back to you. We'll see how it goes. Maybe I can put some of my sewing skills to good use.

The Blankets

I was just doing laundry and was amazed at how many blankets I had to pick up to wash. I picked up at least 10 blankets for each child. They are strewn all throughout the house and the yard. Heaven forbid we just had one special one, I was smart enough to buy plenty so we would never lose the "special one". Now I pick them up every day and they are a huge thorn in Matt's and my sides. Here is a picture of my little Linus's. Tristen's blankys have silk around the edges and she sucks her thumb and strokes the silk. Gabe's blankies are just really soft and he chews on the tag to fall asleep. My blanky babies.

My remodeling

Since I am too scared to do any remodeling in our house, Tristen and I decided to buy a doll house and remodel it. Each room is individually painted, we sewed bedding and pillows, made curtains for the bedrooms, rocked to fireplace and tiled to floors. We painted all the furniture and needless to say, Barbies rule in our house. Tristen and I had lots of fun with it, and now Tristen has a designer Barbie house. Something I always wished for as a kid.

Family pictures

Here are some family pictures. There are more to come, but they aren't done yet.
