Spring Fun

This post is just a little bit of what's going on in the Stiles' household.
Piper is sitting up really well at 5 1/2 months old. She can now sit up unsupported for 30 minutes or until she gets super excited. She is really into banging her toys on hard surfaces because she's used to me stomping around the house to make her happy (noise wise). She has such a personality.


This picture was on our way to a baby shower for me sweet friend Amanda. I made her 2 custom ladybug paintings for the nursery and completely forgot to take pictures.
Piper is telling me to stop with the pictures...HA!


I love this picture. She has so many sunglasses that do not fit her yet, but I finally found these at the local dollar store for $3! I love being such a great bargain hunter. This same day my mom (GG) and I took Piper to a local consignment event called Junebug Reruns. We spent $50 and got a lot of great stuff for when she's 18-24 months. Then yesterday we took our bi-weekly trip to Walmart and got some sweatpants, capri leggins, t-shirts, shorts, and a cute skort all 18-24 month each for $1. I saved overall a total of $20. We are going back again at the end of the week to get some more.

Well, this is the finished dress. I didn't get a good picture of Piper in it on Saturday just what you see in the above 2 pictures. I get some more this week and try to post them. I am also going to begin making a few more dresses and lap quilts for Piper because at the end of this August I'll be getting involved with a handmade craft fair and selling my custom paintings for nurseries/children's room, trip to grandma's bags, lap quilts, and dresses. I'm going to be so busy the rest of the Spring and throughout the Summer with these projects all while maintaining my house, my marriage, being a mom, and going to school. WOW!

Sewing and Easter


Well, this was Piper's first Easter and I believe that she enjoyed it. The Easter Bunny brought her some great stuff and NO CANDY! Lord knows that I don't need to be eating it.










Check out this gorgeous face! I love how long and curly her eyelashes are. She looks so good in pink and yellow!


This is the first article of clothing I'm working on for Piper. I still have to add the buttons and sew on some lace trim.



This is the first thing that I have ever sewn by a machine and it turned out great! IT's a stroller blanket just in time for Spring!
