new pictures of the belly
Today was a great day. A while ago I won a mini-session with an AMAZING photographer, Carly Carlson. Today was our session and she did a great job. Check some of our pics out at http://blog.carlycarlson.com/ .
I didn't realize how much my belly button was popping out! It was really fun taking pictures with Carly and Berret had fun playing with her little girl. If anyone out there needs some updated photos you should seriously consider Carly. Thanks Carly!

childrens sewing-jacket
I didn't think this project was ever going to end. I had to spend 4 hours in the sewing lab on a Friday night...lame! Most of the contsruction of this jacket was done inside-out so it was really confusing to look at and really hard to understand how all of it was going to work. I learned alot of things with it though.
*Fleece stretches easily and my lining fabric didn't budge so that causes some problems but you can ease in fleece quite well.
*Fleece is horrible to unpick because the stitching just sinks right in and you can hardly see.
*The feeddog has trouble grabbing really slick fabric like my lining.
*Ribbing can be a pain but it isn't that bad to work with.
*Lastly with all of my sewing classes I am no longer terrified of putting in zippers even invisible ones.
The outside and the lining were assembled seperately then sewn together inside-out. The entire jacket was then turned right-side out through a hole in the seam of the sleeve lining. All raw edges are enclosed in the jacket.
My zipper was just a little short of reaching all the way up to the hood. To solve the problem I added a tab and button to fill the gap and it turned out to be a nice detail. Genius right?
Well I just wrote a bunch of jibberish about this jacket that probably doesn't matter to anyone but this jacket was alot more complicated for me to make than it looks.

our halloween
For halloween I dressed up the tummy as a basketball and Berret was a basketball player. My ridiculously bright orange shirt is from DI and I cut a basketball out of felt and sewed it on. We had easy and comfy cotumes this year.
On Thursday we had a ward party that turned out great and was alot of fun.
For the Office fans here is Dwight and Angela actually its Jilliann, Berret's cousin and her husband Chris at the ward party. Oh and Jillian is wearing a pin that says R.I.P. Sprinkles.
And on Halloween we went to Brad and Ally's for a little party. Ally had a shirt with a Bun in the oven while Brad was the baker. Zak and Sam were also Dwight and Angela but we didn't take many pictures at the party except of Hunter. And heres Hunter the lion.
Hear him ROAR and MEOW!!!!
