Have been on a bit of a forced hiatus around here, from the computer at least, due to my unanticipated hard drive problem last week.
The good news is that Apple replaced my hard drive (with one that is nearly twice as big – thank you Steve Jobs!) for free and fixed my laptop casing.
The bad news is I’m still encountering stuff that I didn’t get a chance to save copies of…the big stuff, like photos and projects are all backed up and fine, but the little stuff like Photoshop actions and programs I used to upload files and photos…all need to be reinstated. It is time consuming, but I’m trying to be zen about it all.
We did manage to be a little crafty in between all of the crazy computer stuff last week. Em and Audrey completed their sewing camp and had a great time.
They finished cute little skirts (all by themselves!)…
And then the second half of the week they finished little tops…
I was very impressed with the sewing abilities of my little seamstress and we are working on a project for Audrey’s birthday this week, so stay tuned for more sewing goodies compliments of Em.
I also finished two little baby blankets for our friend who is having twins!
Her theme is owls, and look at the cuteness of these – the skunk kills me!
This is pre-washing and pressing…but I had to take photos so I wouldn’t forget.
I also finished a little romper for Addie – we decided to sew something for her while Em was off doing her sewing thing. She has promised to wear it tomorrow, so I’ll get some pics then.
Any other summer craftiness going on?
Well done for getting something finished amidst computer mayhem grrrr. I hate it when all your usual systems have to be reistated. When I got the imac I had to relearn so many things. I still don’t like iphoto v much!
But hey, isn’t it great that the kids made their own clothes!!! I think that is SO cool!! She did a great job. What do you use for the backing on your baby blankies? Are they wadded? I have finally got to my sewing machine (I’m on holidays) and have been making a few things!
I am so completely impressed! Em will have to give me lessons!!!
Awesome work Em!!! Those blankets are beyond adorable. Love the owls, of course.
Wow Emma!!!! Maybe she can come and teach me to sew?
The girls did a wonderful job on their skirts/top. So cute that they are sewing!
Those blankets are so very cute…great job! Especially, getting them done with the computer down and reloading. Hate that!
