My craziness over little kid's stuff.

If you know me, you know how I LOVE children. 

I love their smiles and how they ALWAYS make me laugh.

Often, I come up with different patterns for kids. This month I made this cute little dress and since I don't have a cute little girl to wear it (yet) I gave it to a perfect little model.

Thanks Marissa for sharing these beautiful pictures!

One happy AMERICAN girl

Yesterday, November 9th, 2011 I became an American Citizen!

A very exciting and important moment of my life!

Here are a few shots of this special day:

(Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures)

And a video of me swearing the oath of citizenship:

oh...and now I CAN vote!

I'm participating in "So you think you can sew"

  I was digging through the blogs that I usually read (crafty stuff) when I saw Mommy by day, Crafter by night and I started reading about the "so you think you can sew" contest.

I found myself thinking: why not? I love sewing, I love competing, I love new challenges...so I decided to compete!

Here is the project that I have chosen:

Rachel's Beach Bag

(A very unique project that has made trips to the beach and to the pool much easier)
  

Please, please, please, pray and cheer for me as I'm in this to win! I am going to work hard and give everything I have to this competition!

Leonardo, The Red Footed Tortoise - A Tartaruga Jabuti

That's right, we got a tortoise! Isso mesmo, nos compramos uma tartaruga!

He is so cute! He likes to explore his new habitat and loves to eat spinach and bananas.

Ele e tao fofinho! Ele gosta de explorar seu novo habitat e ama comer espinafre e bananas.

I just want to remember forever how little he was when we got him.

I quero lembrar pra sempre o quanto pequenino ele era quando nos compramos ele.

See you later...now I'm gonna go play with my tortoise...

Ate mais, agora vou brincar com a minha tartaruga...

XOXO
