What was up with Aunt Em???

LiLi decided she wanted to be Dorothy for Halloween & my first thought was "How easy is that!"
As usual I was so wrong!!!  I was so excited when I went to the store as I not only snagged the last 2-3/4 yds of blue & white gingham, I got an end of bolt discount!  Then also snagged the last packet of blue rick rack.  It gets better!  I ran next door to T*rget & got the last pair of ruby red slippers in her size!
Then I went home & started sewing & discovered Aunt Em must have thought she was Betsy Ross.....look at those sleeves! Notice the straps & trim cut on the bias!
This is on the skirt.....you have to make this!  It's cut on the bias!  Then pressed like bias tape before being sewn on!  I still have scars!  Aunt Em was an "overachiever"!
I could have skipped that part. 

Would anyone have noticed if I did?

But you know me.

 I didn't.

 I guess that makes me an "overachiver" as well!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
