Yay for productiveness!

Well this week has been quite a busy one...well not really, but it seemed busier.  Monday our little girl turned 6 months!!! How does this happen?  I know, I know people think "what are you going to say when she starts school, graduates, moves out, gets married, etc."  But I just cannot believe how time truly flies.  Along with a half birthday of course comes the dreaded doctor's appointment...for her that is.  I really think she is starting to be able to associate the order of procedures...check ears, nose, mouth, tummy, etc. and then THE SHOTS!   As soon as her ears were being checked she started crying, which if you know Lilly is not like her to cry about much. And then they came and went, and she cried, but got over it.  And along with that we finally got her social security card filed.  We still have yet to receive that, but at least we will be able to file taxes... yay for a baby credit.  We also had small group, fuel, and went to dinner with my parents.  And of course, I had to sew.  I just keep pinning things on pinterest, and I figure, what is the use if I don't actually do any of the things I pin.  Isn't that the point.  So...while digging through the box of get rid of clothes, which I need to stop digging through because I always pull something out, I found a shirt that Grant used to wear and was getting rid of.  So...or should I say sew, I made a t-shirt dress for Lillianne, or a dress from a shirt.  It turned out very cute, and then I tried it on her.. Why must I always make things harder than they seem?  I really wanted it to be tailored, but that was a silly idea because she is growing quickly, and I may have cut a little too much.


Then it was on the smaller than I wanted side, and gapping in the front.  So I added two panels that can be adjusted as she grows on the sides, a button closure on the back, and elastic in the front.  I still need to finish the bottom hem, but I think it turned out pretty cute. Here it is on Lillianne.  I think she may like it.


And here we are at Friday and I am so happy I don't have to work because I gave away my shift. I think leaving is going to get a lot harder because Lillianne is now realizing when I leave the room...ut o. Anyway, maybe I will use this evening to take a trip to hobby lobby for more fabric!
