This past Thursday through Saturday Ava and I spent in Livermore with my parents. Rich was off with the Youth Trek (post to come), so we decided to have some fun of our own. Ava loves to spend time with her Papa and Nona. She is pretty attached to my mom and sometimes prefers her to me. Ava also enjoyed playing with new toys and chasing my parents dog Jake.
While we were visiting I (with a lot of help from my mom) made 2 dresses for Ava. I'm not a sewer, but every once in a while I feel creative. I found some cute Panda and Monkey material and thought they would make cute dresses. It took us one whole day to make the dresses, but we finished them and they are so cute. I am pretty proud of myself and appreciate my mom's assistance. I also have to thank Lynn (family friend) for making button holes for us since my mom's good machine was in the shop.
After a fun, but long few days we headed home to meet up with Rich. Ava was sad to leave her Papa and Nona, but fell asleep within minutes of getting on the road...YEAH!! As we turned onto our road I saw Rich unpacking his car and got excited. Ava, Luca, and I were so happy to see him. We had a good few days, but we definitely missed Rich.

Nona Carole, Ava, and the 2 dresses we made
Ava watching Nona Carole sew. I really did sew almost all the dresses myself.
Ava's favorite toy was a top I played with as a child. She was so happy when she figured out how it worked.

Ava enjoyed riding this horse around the pool table.

Sewing is a lot of work, but it is also rewarding. I too get in to mood to make things, and often end up in over my head.
Love the dresses. I rarely sew too but when I do I really love it. I just made Ian a cape (easy peasy I know) for his play a week before school was out. My fav. is to make pj bottoms.
