Of course I forgot to take pictures.... I always do, this is all we had...
But thankfully Rachel had taken some pictures while we were playing with the children at the gym. And she graciously sent some to me.
So, without further ado...
Sarah's dress
I have recently have a itch to sew little people clothes. So, I made Sarah Beth this dress. I have gotten the pattern on sale, it is adorable!

So... I'm sitting here trying to think of something the say.... and once again my mind is _____________. That seems to be a trend lately... Don't worry though, I'm not always like this.
So,..... how about a random odd fact...
"I simply love ... celery root!" ;)
I don't think I've ever had celery root..... not that I remember anyway....

Recent projects
So,..
as most of you know, Rebecca, Stephanie, and I recently moved into an apartment of our own. So, most of my sewing projects have been domestic oriented. A.k.a. curtains and pillows :)
Here are the curtains I made :)
Bathrooms curtain. I LOVE these! The wall is actually a French blue color, I'm not sure why it looks white.....
This is our front door. Also a polka dot curtain :) We like polka dots :)
And this hangs in our kitchen. The idea turned out cute but the colors aren't exactly right. There is a dowel sewn in the bottom. That's how the curtain "opens"
And finally a still-in-progress project. We can't decide exactly how we want these to hang. They are in Steph and my room...
You can find pillow pictures on Rebecca's blog. Here

Birthday Presents
Hi everyone! I just wanted to show you all my wonderful birthday presents.

New Microsoft 2007
So, a couple weeks ago we got a new computer. And it came installed with the new Microsoft 2007. I LOVE it!! It makes my K4K work so much easier! Cause you see,... you can change the clip art easily.
The word I just finished doing the layout for didn't have anything in it that clip art already have pictures of. So... I created ALL the pictures. Here's a couple examples.
Just a quote from the word that I jazzy up.
So, anyway. I think it is awesome it makes my life so much easier, and it's fun too!

Kids say the cutest things
These are Pumpples
not pumpkins.
And are not to be confused with apples.
At least that's what I've been told.
Sarah saw a picture of a pumpkin and thought they were apples.
I decided to teach her how to say pumpkin. She can't say the "k" sound. After a few tries she resorted to Pumpples. And if you tell her pumpKIN. She say "Tatie, that's a pumpPLE!!

What's new in my life
Nothing.
Sorry everyone..... I'm been thinking lately, I've been reading various posts of what's going on in people lives, what new thing they've done or are doing. Something exciting. Something just plain different. Moving, new job, new whatevers.... And I've come to realize, I'm in a rut. A deep rut that keeps running in the same direction with no end in sight. *sigh* What do I do? I'm not dissatisfied with my life, I wouldn't have chosen, I would have made a mess of it. But now what do I do? What's next? What about my "degree" a.k.a the piece-of-paper-I-need-to-prove-I'm-competent. The meeting this morning was about Turning Your Eyes Upon Jesus. O.k. so now what. God's been speaking to me lately about spending more time with Him. And I know I need too. I just hope the "things of earth grow strangely dim" quickly....

Apparently I need to get married
A few weeks ago while I was teaching one of my students asked me
"How old are you?"
"Almost 23. Am I old?"
"No....................................Are you married?"
"No."
"You should get married."
"Why?"
"Just cause, you should."
"Oh, but what if I got married and had to move far away and could be your violin teacher anymore."
"You don't have to."
"I don't have to what?"
"Move. You can get married and still live here."
"Here as in Platteville."
"No, you can get married and still live at home."
Well, he is only 8, I think... anyway he doesn't quite understand. But then again, it was sweet of him.
"How old are you?"
"Almost 23. Am I old?"
"No....................................Are you married?"
"No."
"You should get married."

Houston, we have take off
I happened to end up in the lobby this morning just after the Space Shuttle Discovery took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They had a camera on the External Tank (the orange thing). I could see the earth from forever up. In 7 minute they were up to 10000 MPH and were using fueling at the rate of emptying a normal swimming pool in 25 seconds. Then they showed when the shuttle detached from the external tank. Well... needless to say it was totally AWESOME!!! I want to be an astronaut!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every Fall
Fall is HERE!!

enjoy the views,
and the sunflower/corn maze,

Austen Quote
From Jane Austen's Love and Freindship (with original spelling and grammar)
"My beloved Laura (said she to me a few Hours before she died) take warning from my unhapped End and avoid the imprudent conduct which had occasioned it.... Beware of fainting-fits.... Though at the time they may be refreshing and agreable yet beleive me they will in the end, if too often repeated and at imporoper seasons, prove destructive to your Constuitution... My fate will teach you this... I die a Martyr to my greif for the loss of Augustus .. One fatal swoon has cost me my Life... Beware of swoons Dear Laura... A frenzy fit is not one quarter so pernuicious; it is an exercise to the Body and if not too violent, is I dare say conducive to Health in its consequences - Run mad as often as you chuse; but do not faint -"
I know Rebecca and Susie are probably tired of this, but I like it! It stricks me so funny! "Run mad as often as you chuse but do not faint."

Latest Project
So, I've been very busy the last few weeks. Moving, working, school, and before all that I made this:
The homeschool group had a Civil War Day and I promised Joe a uniform. I didn't think that it would take me so long to finish it!! As it was his pants were safety pinned shut and his pants weren't hemmed, but oh well... I'd just have to let them out and re-hem in a few months.... I wasn't able to go to Civil War Day, I had to work. But it sounds like everyone had fun, here are a few more pictures, just for the fun of it.
Susie sewed yellow twill tape on the side of Luke's pants so he would have "army" pants.
I made this dress for Sarah earlier this year. It's from Mrs. Chancey's Girl's Regency Dress Pattern. I love the expression on her face in these pictures.

About Me
- Katie
- I am a daughter of God who is striving to do and be all that God has for me. I'm a pretty normal person, kinda goofy at times, but I can be a dear. If I try :) I always try to be happy and I'm never lazy, I've tried, it doesn't agree with me. Once you meet me you'll never want for entertainment :)
