Slacker blogger is back

Summer is almost upon us and we're so ready for all the fun. Mehul will be going to summer camp and will have lots of fun activities. We're planning a lot of activities at home as well. We'll have to make a list of all the things we can do. I've got a nice pinboard full of fun activities we could do. Along with all the indoor crafty stuff we will be spending a lot of time outdoors. Mehul loves to ride his scooter and bike, Aanya loves her tricycle and playing ball. Oh what fun! I can hardly wait.

Mehul made a tin can robot this weekend for his teacher. I've go a picture but it's not online yet. The robot is just made from a soup can with its features hot-glued on and we found him a nice hat to wear. It has nuts for legs, copper wire arms and binder clips for ears! It can help store the little things on the teachers desk. Mehul will be giving it to his teacher this week as a thank you for an excellent year. It still needs a name.

Today he is presenting his 4th quarter project for school - which was on Sea Turtles. Lucky for him as he had came across a few sea turtles on the beach in Hawaii! I got a nice picture of them and it made a nice center photo on his trifold. He is so excited for the presentation.

Aanya turned two!! Time is going by too fast. When Mehul was two I was very into digital scrapbooking and that made recording all the little things so much easier and fun. This time around I just can't find the time for scrapping. I'm very much enjoying her and all her sweet little things she does. She dances to any song or tune, even ads on tv get her moving. She sings rhymes in tune even though words are not very clear. She just loves to talk. She gives us hugs and kisses -- lots of them. She is very possessive though, she doesn't want me picking up any other baby OR even hugging Mehul. It's such a fun age. I wish they stayed like this forever!!

Made a few teeny dresses for her birthday. Here she is running around the yard in her new dress.

Basically Jalie blog tour

Basically Jalie Blog Tour - Day 2 (This post has been sponsored by Jalie Patterns. There is  a sewalong, rafflecopter, and amazing prizes to win so keep reading! )  Majority of what I wear are work/business casual outfits and hence that is majority of what I sew. I am always looking for cute woven tops to add to my rotation. I love making tunic tops especially now that I've learned to fit them. I never liked any store bought ill fitting and stiff feeling tops especially button-downs but now that I can make them and make them to fit, it is a whole different story! This blog-tour is for basics and I consider woven tops to be part of my daily basic wardrobe so that is what I made for this blog tour. This is the Rose blouse (Jalie 3881) in a woven crepe fabric I got recently from Sincerely Rylee. The fabric is gorgeous and so easy to work with.  I chose this top because of the bow. Let's be honest, we love blouses with bows! I have never been able to find ...

Itch to Stitch blog tour

Itch to Stitch blog tour Day 2 Sewing community is such a vast space spanning multiple continents and what brings everyone together is their love for sewing. When someone in this community is hurting, sewists all over the world come together to make it better. Our much loved designer, Kennis Wong - owner of Itch to Stitch Designs , was robbed a couple of weeks ago leaving her with no way to run her business. This blog tour is promoting Itch to Stitch patterns to make up for some of the monetary loss so she can be back on her feet and produce top notch quality patterns again! I picked up the Newport top in the recent sale and wanted to make a nice top for this blog tour. I'm also really feeling the velvets this time of the year. Stylish Fabrics is one of the sponsors of this tour and I picked up mauve velvet and charcoal ponte to make my outfit. The pinky mauve color is probably my all time favorite color for nail paint but I rarely wear clothes in this color. ...

Itch to Stitch blog tour 2018

It's time to sew Itch to Stitch I am participating in the blog tour again this year. This is a time to sew Itch to Stitch patterns we've been meaning to make for long! I have had my eyes on  Crystal Cove Cami  since it released and the  Angelia Shorts   were on my #makenine2018! It was absolutely the easiest decision to participate in the blog tour and pick these 2 patterns. Itch to Stitch patterns are very well drafted, have precise yet detailed instructions. Kennis Wong is well respected in the industry for putting out top notch patterns. It is an absolute pleasure to sew ITS patterns ! One of the wonderful sponsors D&H fabrics sent me this beautiful  Moonstone in blue  (Atelier Brunette) fabric that I absolutely love! More info on the fabric below -  Before I go on with the construction details, I want to mention that both the Crystal Cove Cami and Angelia Shorts are on a FLASH SALE for 24 hours only! TODA...
