Sometimes I still sew?? I made Maeve this sweet flannel dress using Wiksten's Smock dress pattern. I love this pattern with it's big pockets. I skipped the elastic on the sleeve because I didn't want the wrists to feel bulky. Maeve is really pleased with this dress. It's soft and sweet. It felt really good to make something. Next up, Maeve's birthday dress!

I don't feel bad about this, I really enjoyed Halloween this year! We carved pumpkins, dressed up in costumes, took photos, paraded around the block, played at the playground, trick or treated at 2 houses, ate pizza and wrapped up the day with the movie, "Coco," and pumpkin cake! It was absolutely delightful and so wonderful to have all that family time together.

We carved pumpkins! Kind of feels like a fall miracle to have actually completed this activity. Some of the kiddos were more pleased than others with how their pumpkins turned out. So it goes sometimes!

Maeve has started to draw people and kids drawing people may be one of my most favorite milestones! So, I was really excited for this art project - drawing faces on pumpkins. I had previously water colored the pumpkin shapes and then I gave the kiddos black pens and encouraged them to draw all sorts of emotions on their pumpkins. I was so satisfied with the end result!

Holly made Maeve this scarf and it's so cute and soft! Aren't big sisters just the sweetest? The scarf even has a pom-pom on each end.
