Easter Outfits

I'm really enjoying smocking and sewing the boys Easter outfits and thought I'd post my designs to show everyone. :) I love the old fashioned Southern boy clothes and am so happy that our church is formal enough for me to make them for Caleb and Stephen to wear. Surprisingly Andy loves them too and is happy for me to make them clothes. Part of it is that he likes Caleb looking more his age I'm sure, but I'll take it anyway I can get it. I'm really careful to not pick out things that are too "girly" too. :)
This first plate is the one I'm making to put in Caleb's shirt.

This is Stephen's. I have a thing for bears on my little boys. lol


This is the little suit I'm making. The shirt will be cream with the plates from above inserted and I have really cute cream and red striped seersucker material for the shorts. I'm looking for more seersucker to make some little shortalls for them especially since you can't find them for Caleb's size.

More Music

A couple of people have asked about the Christian artist that we've been listening to. His name is Mo Leverett. He and his wife have a street ministry in a poor section of New Orleans called Desire Street Ministries. Mo writes all his own songs which are a combination christian and songs about living in the South. I don't know a lot about him right now, but John went down over Christmas to New Orleans on a mission trip and loved this guy so I'm pretty pleased with it.
