Well, let me just say that I have only been crafty out of necessity this past week.

Addie HAD to wear a dress that was a good two inches too short to be wearing out in public. So I rounded up all of her old holey or grass-stained leggings and chopped and hemmed them. Voila. Five new pairs of under-skirt shorts. She is very happy.

Jamie HAS about three more pair of pants that need to be hemmed, so they are next up on my sewing table.

Emma’s old bear NEEDS a new nose. She so very sweetly decided to give her “extra” bear to her best friend Audrey so they could have friendship bears.

And she graciously decided to keep her original bear (from Aunt Meesh) which is a little worse for wear and has lost his nose somewhere along the way. So new nose for bear. And the “extra bear” has a new home with Aud.

And most of last week was spent preparing for the little grown-up tea party we had over the weekend to honor my new sister-in-law, (to be), JB!

We were going for an Anthropology-esque garden tea party.  And I think we got pretty close. At any rate is was a very fun afternoon with our favorite Mary!

I really hope to tackle my project pile this week. Any inspirations for me?
