Miss G

Miss G turn 4 this weekend. Last Friday I started sewing a Hat for her using this tutorial. I bought enough material to make for all girls using Sweet Water fabric; the other material was a repurpuse a kaki skirt that I ruined with a highlighter. Miss G saw the material and asked me "mommy are you making me a dress too" So I felt very obligated to make her a dress. so here is the result:
Miss G cumplio 4 anos este fin de semana. El viernes pasado empece a hacerle un sombrero usando este tutorial. Compre suficiente tela para hacerles a todas sombreros, use tela de Sweet Water un rosita muy lindo con estrellas, la otra parte del sombrero es tela que reutilice de una falda de lona que se me aruino con un marcatextos. Cuando Miss G me vio cosiendo me pregunto si tambien le iba a hacer un vestido. asi es que me vi obligada a sacrificar mi projecto para hacer a una linda nina feliz y esto es lo que salio:
I love the picture Miss G had no problem posing for me!
Me encanta la foto Miss G no tubo problema en posar para mi!

Have a great day!

Chic Cocktail Swing Coat

This is another pattern from Heidi and Finn. Darlette made this version in black for miss C recital. The light does not let the details of the coat show, but it turn out just cute and beautiful.
Darlette used black wool material.
Este es otro pattron de Heidi and Finn. Darlette hizo esta version en negro para el recital de la senorita C. La luz no permitio que mucho de los detalles se vieran, pero salio muy lindo. Darlette uso pano de lana negro.

Sweet Wrap Reversible Dress (my version)

Okay Darlette made the dress like month and a half ago right? I started the same week but I just finish making (2) them last Saturday night just on time for church yesterday. It was hard to take pictures so I got this only okay one.
Se acuerdan que Darlette hizo este vestido hace como un mes y medio? Bueno yo lo empece la misma semana y apenas termine de hacerlos (2) el Sabado en la noche justo para el Domingo para ir a la capilla. Fue dificil tomarles fotos a las hijas pero logre rescatar esta.
Since this was my first sewing for long time I can say I missed my sewing machine so much and just working with fabric. My problem is that my new sewing room is not calling me. So I took my sewing machine and everything else that cones with it upstairs to the kitchen. I really was in heaven. :)
Este projecto es el primero que hago desde hace mucho tiempo y realmente me di cuenta cuanto extrano coser. El problema es que mi cuarto de costura simplemente no me inspira para estar alli; asi es que tome mi maquina y todo lo necesario y lo lleve a la cocina y alli trabaje. parecia estar el el cielo :)
Have a great day

Did you see the spring?

Hi, Can you believe is June already? Time just flies, besides that have you seen the spring this year? We haven't. Today on the news they said that May was the wet-est May ever recorded in Utah! and not only in here but all around the US the weather has been cold and wet.
Hola, Pueden creer que ya estamos en Junio? El tiempo vuela ademas de que no hemos tenido primavera este ano. Hoy en las noticias mencionaron que Mayo a sido el mes con mas presipitacion en record. Y no solo eso en el resto del pais el clima ha estado todo raro.

We start planting our garden at the beginning of May. We planted tomatoes some bell peppers and jalapenos. Later we add the cucumbers, zucchini, and tons of tomatillos for green salsa (hubby's favorite) the last to plant were the cantaloupe and the watermelon. with an additio of 24 more tomato plants from nice neighbors. :) That has kept me busy not to mention all the rest of the garden.
Empezamos a plantar nuestro jardin a principios de Mayo. Empezamos con jitomates (tomates), pimientos morron y jalapenos. Despues le agregamos pepinos, calabazas bastantes plantas de tomatillos para haver salsa verde que el la favorita de mi esposo. por ultimo agregamos otros tipos de chiles y melones y sandias ha y terminamos plantando 24 plantas de jitomate extras que unos vecinos nos dieron. :)

The news mention that on Memorial Day (Monday) many places in the state had snow. People in Alta (sky resort) were having a few new inches of powder!. I hope summer can come soon. The plants appreciate the rain, but farmers and ranchers around the state surely don't need their lands under water. Please pray for those in flood danger zones. As hot weather arises the snow in the mountains defrost and keeps the state in emergency flood alert.
En las noticias mencionaron que el Lunes pasado en muchos lugares del estado nevo. Gente en Alta (un resort para esquiar) tubieron nieve fresca!. Espero que el verano llegue pronto. Las pantas aprecian la lluvia, pero los granjeros y los rancheros en el estado por seguro no necesitan sus lugares de cultivo bajo el agua. Porfavor tengan en sus oraciones a aquellos que viven en zonas de riezgo. Entre mas caliente este los bancos de nieve en las montanas empezaran a derretirse mas rapido y causaran muchos problemas para los que viven cerca de los rios y en zonas de cultivo.
I hope you have a great June!
