meet Bella & more dresses...

here is Bella Brown.

Lauren and Chris' puppy.

She is so cute, and she has warmed up to

Alan and I finally.

I snapped this picture yesterday!

And here are the dresses. Number 1 with bows!

Number 2 not completely finished.

Remember it's messed up...or I think it is.

Still needs to be hemmed.

Number 3 that I made from start to finish this afternoon.

I am planning to add bows to the last two as well.
I really enjoy sewing.
It's neat to start with a piece of fabric and
hours later you have a dress.
I still want to sign up for sewing classes!
There is so much more to learn.

I am also really enjoying my camera!
It is so convenient and easy to use!

Also, if you will notice the buttons on dress #2 and#3.
They are fabric covered buttons.
I saw these when mom and I were at Wal-mart.
I wanted these because number one, they are cheap.
4 buttons for $1.57.
Also, I won't have to search for buttons to match.
Which is very important to me because
I want things to match exactly.
But anyways Mom told me they weren't as easy
as I thought they were gonna be.
Well, to my surprise. They are super easy,
I love the way they look.
and they only take 1 minute per button to make!

Hobby Lobby had patterns on sale for 99 cents last week.
If you don't know anything about patterns, they are usually

7-15 dollars each. So I was excited. I bought three new ones.
One of the patterns is for a romper or a jon-jon for a little boy!
I bought light green gingham fabric.

And I can't wait to make it!

And would you just look at my counter to the right...

and y'all don't leave comments...
