Marrying Milo

Tonight while snuggling my 5 year old daughter

She informs me tonight… that she dating Milo (wow they start early) and when she growns up she is marrying Milo. She has told me this before but this time so I pry deeper..

"Why do you want to marry Milo" I ask

She shyly says" because I wuv him…"

"But why do you love him.." I inquiry

"Because he wuvs me.." she says with pride

"But why do you want to marry him" I ask

"Because he is handsome and cute" she says proudly

Pushing further "Well those are good reasons…who did you learn that stuff from"

She says "from Jason"

I say "how old is Jason"

She says" Jason is 2 and is cute.."

Oh I say so you are taking Dating advice from a 2 year old.

She "yes he walks behind me and walks to me and tells me stuff"

Oh ok..wise 2 year old I'm thinking

She then says "Then there is Ben, he wants to many me too"

I am in so much trouble.

Mom Made Sweater

I made this sweater for my daughter is adapted from Soft +Simple knits for little ones by Heidi Boyd I ran out of yarn (I never purchased the correct amount) and had to improvise on the sleeves. 

Hence the stripes and to tie the sleeves and the body of the sweater I crochet some flowers. Then I could not find a button so I make a button with a plastic ring. It is top down knitting neck and then the sleeves are added last.

The book is a great book because most of the patterns go up to 6yrs. Check it out

Happy Happy Joy Joy School Started!

This time of year brings many moms back to a state of peace and I am one of them. Kids go back to school, I get more accomplished and the wonderful change of seasons brings me back to fond fall memories. So My DD started preschool this Monday, she starts really late. I was looking for something special for her to wear. So I saw my Mother on Saturday and I said do you remember the dress I wore the 1st day of school. She I remember a plaid. So did I blown and orange plaid .

So Sunday I took a trip to Joann Fabric. I was going to make my daughter a plaid dress. I started late Sunday afternoon 4:00, when I should have been sewing capes. I made brown plaid dress for my DD but she fell asleep before she got to have a fitting. So I crossed my finger it would fit.

It did! Here is the proof. I made it a little more 1950’s than mine and no smocking. I matched the plaid and made a complete circle skirt cut from one piece of fabric. I use a bias for the hem so it was easier then hand hemming. I love having a DD it like having a life size doll. She loved the dress and asked to wear it her next day at school.
