These are so easy to make. The bodice is a front and back piece with a lining. The shape looks like bunny ears. The skirt is 15 inches by about 60 inches and is also lined. I think if I were creative enough I could make the dress fully reversible.

Dresses for Guatemala
Back in December a lady from my church approached me to help make some dresses to send to another country, I think Guatemala. She is going in February to meet her sponsor child and is also taking some dresses for a program there. A group of ladies have re-modeled donated prom dresses for a variety of sizes. I made some very simple and durable sun dresses for the younger girls. I apologize that I don't have more information about the organization but I am praying that these dresses may be a blessing to those who will receive them.
These dresses only too about 1.5 hours each. I made 2 more but forgot to photograph them. I ended up making an extra one because my sister fell in love with this pink one for my niece.

If you are seriously interested I can some how describe the pattern better to you personally. I'm also working on a doll dress to match.

The Ultimate Blog Party!!!
Welcome to my blog. I hope you take some time to look around. Although I'm new to blogging I have lots to share. If you have come from the Ultimate Blog Party a special welcome to you.
Wow I'm so excited everyone. I was blog hopping around this morning and came across the Ultimate Blog Party which starts today. It is quite simple. Just write a blog about the party and add your link.
All About Raising Our Family
I decided to start a blog to remember all the wonderful moments I have with my sons, and a spot to write about my crafting addiction! In this blog I try to keep to a schedule somewhat:
Monday: Missions - a Christian focus on how God is working in our lives. I sometimes share ideas, tips and sites to help us all raise our families God's way.
Tuesday: Tips - here I share a small tip that has helped me to run our house smoothly.
Wednesday: Crafts - I love all types of crafts. Right now I'm on a sewing kick. I often share the crafts I'm working on, tutorials, and contests I've come across.
Thursday: Our Week - this is obviously sharing either generally about our week or some special moments with the family.
Friday: Favourites - I'll post something that was my favourite for the week. It could be anything so keep tuned.
I always love hearing from you. Please let me know what you'd like to see, how you found me, what you think of my blog. I'm always up for improvements too and can't wait to meet new people.

Monday Missions: Mommy Missions Website
Welcome to a new week on my new blog. Every Monday I hope to share with you how God is working in our lives. So lets get started...
Over the last two weeks I followed a Blog hop hosted by Heat of the Matter. One of the blogs I read about was Mommy Missions. Although I haven't subscribed to her website yet, I do love her blog. I was gently reminded through this website and God's word that I don't need to go on any far away mission trip, that my mission field is right here at home.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6: 4-9
When I try to focus on putting the LORD first in our day, then anything else I happen to accomplish is a bonus. I'll be the first to admit that some days I feel like everything (including the kids) are preventing me from getting things done. The "things" I want to do are often just cleaning, or crafts and aren't really all that important. I need to be in the Word daily to refocus my priorities. I'm always working on this area in my life, and with two young boys it isn't easy, but I'll keep pressing on.
