Goodbye 2013! Thanks for a great year!!!

 

Wow!  What an awesome year!!!  As I look back over 2013 I am amazed at how much I accomplished! And I also realize how quickly my kids are growing up!

In no particular order, I picked 12 of my favorite posts!  Here there are from top left to right:

Eva Mae's Button Party - I think having parties for my kids is the highlight of my year!  I love planning their outfit, cake, and party details!

The Scrubby Jams Pattern - This was my second drafted pattern!  It's a free pattern download!  I loved being able to come up with the pattern pieces and instructions so people can sew uniforms for the school in Haiti!  I donated a large sum of my pattern sales from the Bumblebee to the school to help pay for their food!  Click the link to read about this great ministry!

Peek-a-Boo Spring Tour - I loved this cute ruffle pant pattern and matched it with an applique shirt for Easter!

The Bumblebee Pattern - my first reeeaaaal pattern for sale!  I love seeing different versions of the dress by so many talented seamstresses!

A Seersucker Summer - this is the post with the matching cousin outfits!!!  We love getting together each year with our extended family in Idaho!

Paper Airplane Party - Again, my kid's birthday parties are so much fun!  This post is extra special because one of my images was shared on the Disney Baby blog!

Casual Lady - I used the pattern "Casual Lady" to create my look for the sewing competition "The Sew Off" - I took 3rd place!

Cupcake Top - My latest pattern!  It's an adorable unisex long sleeve knit t-shirt!

Goodship Dress - Eva Mae's Easter dress for church was made in the adorable fabric by Sarah Jane (Out to Sea) - I love how it looks on her!

Pleated Party Dress - This was my look for the Project Run and Play remix week!

Chevron Bubble Romper - I love the pictures I took of Eva Mae in this romper!  She was the cutest patriotic baby on 4th of July!

Junebug Dress - This dress was made from my grandma's plaid shirt.  The post is very sentimental - if you didn't get a chance to read it I hope you will!  The holidays are so hard because we all miss having the original Eva Mae around. :'(

Thank you so much for supporting me this year!  I can't believe the growth that my little ol' blog has seen and I'm excited to share some fun news with you next week!!!  (hint......I was chosen for something sewing/blogging related but I'm not telling you what it is quite yet!)
