Onesie Dresses

My friend Kaylee is helping me make onesie dresses for my girls and I am loving it!  I'm making matching dresses for the girls and one extra dress for Audrey (because the white onesies we could find at the store only came in packs of three).  Turns out I really enjoy sewing....who knew?  Not me.  I feel like my hobbies are getting more and more 'little house on the prairie-esque' as I go along in stay-at-home-mom life.  My role model is Janet King from the show Avonlea when it used to be her daughter Felicity.  Now when I watch movies and shows I pay particular attention to what the homes look like, the furniture, the decorations, where things are kept, thinking about what things I like about it and want to be a part of my home.  Oh my goodness I can't wait to have a house!  That is dream on my mind these days.  I used to dream about leaving home and being on my own, then I dreamed about my future husband and wedding, then I dreamed about my kids and life as a stay-at-home-mom.  Now that I've realized all of these dreams it feels like the only thing left to dream about is my own home now!  When I get to that point I'm going to need to find something new to daydream about.  Someday I'll be dreaming about my kid's weddings, my grandkids, and a mission.  That's the thing about life though, isn't it?  There's always something coming next!

Anyway, here are some pictures of my onesie dress project.  I love working on it so much.  I'm so proud of myself for it, I feel like a little kid bringing home an art project to show my mom.  So here it is, Mom!

this onesie we already had for hannah and it came with the bows on the sleeves.  it was so perfect!


And that is where I'm at right now.  I'm in the process of pinning each dress, which can take awhile especially when I don't have a lot of time during the day to do it.  Hannah's been needing to be held constantly the last week or so.  Some things I've been able to do while holding her but some things just have to wait!  

I can't wait to post pictures when they're done!!!
