March 2000, this a few weeks before Fred was born, she couldn't hide under a notebook!The important thing today are my sewing machines. I know you might not think it's exciting but it's more what they symbolize than what they actually are. My sewing machines are my escape from my house work, I have a creative and constructive outlet through them.
I like being a stay at home mom but for many years I felt like a stuck at home mom (that whole one car thing). I tried sewing when Fred was about 4 months old,the project took all day and wasn't what I expected and I didn't really try again for several months.
The first really cool thing I made was Fred's Cinderella costume for Halloween in 2002. After that I gained confidence and started on bigger and better things thinking outside patterns and mixing things up to be what I wanted, instead of what the designer wanted.
I usually made them things for church and that is where Sandra found me in 2004. She owned Once Upon A Costume and was working on Cinderella for Signature Productions she asked if I would be willing to help out on a couple pieces, little did I know what I was actually getting myself into!
2 years and many costumes later I purchased Once Upon A Costume from Sandra and now I have my own source of income. I love the feeling of fulfillment I get when I finish a costume and send it away to a happy princess. I also love to thrill my own little princesses by making them fun stuff too!

What a cool look back :o)
We are hosting a "cookie sale" to help support a family that has four small children (all under age six) and two parents who were critically injured in a small plane accident. (The mom, Steph, is a blogger and pretty much the ultimate domestic goddess.)More on the Nielsen family at http://cjanerun.com

Whoever told you that you were huge when you were pregnant with Fred should look at that face and those arms. Wow, you are one hot mama!
u forgot about the part of the story where you met this really cool girl named Jessica who owned princess parties and she became your favorite customer!
Very nice 22 yr old picture! Except I remember Annie being born 5+ months before you turned 22...

And Lindsay came 3 days after you were 23... we should have taken more pictures of you!
