A new place to craft and some show-offs

I have been looking for a farm table for my dining room. With 6 people in our family, we needed more space! The farm tables I have found have been out of my price range. BUT, I was on craigslist and found one! For under $100.00. It's in great shape and I love it. Really love it!!!

Here it is set up in my house (kitty approves).

And in the meantime, I've been sewing. A friend of mine is having a baby and she wanted a big sister/little sister matching set. The patterns came from the Winter 07 Ottobre magazine. The leggings have stretch lace at the bottom for big sister.

Big sister's dress (I'm not sure I will do this pattern again. It took me a lot of time and a lot of re-doing. It was a tough one!! I feel very proud to have conquered it and conquered it well. But, whew!)

I added a side panel down the side for extra room.

Baby girl's (I loved this pattern and will do it over and over again. It's such a classic dress.)

And a new shirt for Ava-Grace. I might sell this one as a custom in the near future. It is so beautiful and I really like how the prints went together. (Yes, I know I'm missing a button. I haven't had a chance to go pick more up and these came in a three-pack.)
