It's that time of the night when all the kids are asleep, which is nearing 10:30 these days at our home, Ivy being the holdout. My body says, yes it's definitely time for bed, maybe an hour ago, and my mind starts racing with all the things I could-sans kids playing, yelling, nursing, whatever. I'm a selfish Mom in that regard, I love my children, but also love my alone time. Lately, against my better judgment I've been indulging and sewing at night. I've wanted to make an I spy bag for the longest time for the kids to use at church, we'll give it a trial run on Sunday and see if it was all I thought it would be. It was so fun collecting all the little gadgets I couldn't stop at one- see more here.
Then there are the dresses for Shay's wedding, the pictures don't really do it justice, the colors are much better in real life I think. I'd never made anything quite so fancy. Chloe said she felt like a princess, I figured that was a good thing. It always rejuvenates me to create something fun, even I feel super tired the next day. It's early to bed tonight!

I agree, I love my kids too, but going to bed just isn't as inticing when the house is quiet and I finally have time to myself. Way to go for using that time for something productive. The dresses look beautiful!
I envy your sewing desire and ability! I'm good at sewing straight. The dresses are beautiful! I love everything about them.
That thing you made, (forgot what you called it) is awesome Tan! That'll bring countless hours of entertainment to Tayler during church I'm sure. Thanks
I've wanted to make an I Spy bag for a while, I think they are soooo cute! Way to go! Beautiful dresses too, the wedding is coming up soon, isn't it. Time flies!
