Very 1st Ruffle Halter Top

Sooooo.... I purchased this absolutely wonderful Babylock Serger months ago, but had yet to do anything with it. I made a few pillow cases, but I wanted a challenge. I took a shirt out of my daughter's dresser, measured the width, then basically eyeballed the rest. My stitching is far from perfect, but this serger is the hardest thing I've ever had to learn. It's so intricate, and there is so much involved in creating just one stitch. It's for sure been a learning process for me. I lucked out with this halter & it fit my daughter nearly perfect, but I definately need a lot more practice before I add anything like this to my shop. It's the plan though. I am absolutely in love with the way the colors went together & I had my beautiful daughter show it off. I'm excited to practice some more!!

Sugar-Crusted Raspberry Muffins

Made some delicious raspberry muffins today with the freshly picked Alaskan raspberries we had picked from yesterday. I actually made two different batches, using two different recipes, & this one was by far the BEST!

Here are some pictures of my kids helping us pick the raspberries!
