Nelsen Corner

We were able to finally get family pictures, with our whole family -Carter included! We are so grateful to have such a good friend Matt Christensen be willing to spend so much time with us to make them perfect! Rachel is a two and a half year old doll who loves to laugh, dance, and make her brother happy! She is incredibly smart and ahead of the game. She has been potty trained since she turned 2, knows all her colors, shapes and even the whole alphabet! Carter Man is a little angeland knows how to work his cuteness to get Mommy to do anything he wants! He has been crawling for months now and absolutely loves to play peek-a-boo! He is also an eating machine and wants whatever we are having, none of this silly baby food stuff for him.                                        We are so blessed to have such a sweet little family!

   Wahoo! I finally have a hobby I enjoy that I can do easily, no matter the season, at home! I used to love to design dresses on cartoon figures when I was a teenager, but it never amounted to more than paper and pencil because the sewing machine intimidated me too much. For Christmas this year however, I got a sewing machine (white and lime green -my favorite color!) and I have been having some fun putting some ideas into practice. I haven't made anything super fancy or unique yet, but I am definitely just a beginner so I'll have to give it some time! Good grief, zippers are going to take me some time to figure out! It looked terrible on the pink dress, so I decided that the detachable flower should go right there and only you and I will ever know! Besides that, I think even my primitive dresses turned out pretty well, it helps when you have a really cute daughter to model the dresses you make and inspire the excitement to create! Isn't she adorable!
