Bow Tie


Today I finished the bamboo bow tie for the sew along. It was a really fun little project! I wouldn't have had the urge to make a bow tie otherwise, so I am happy I got the chance. They both turned out great, I made one to keep, and I will send the other one in. I'm not really sure how to tie a bow tie but I did my best. I'm still working on T's dress for easter, and I have added another project for our easter pic. This one should be a quick project, so it wont be long til I post it.

Nephews shirt


I finished my nephews shirt last night. It was just a basic button down pattern I have done on a larger scale many times before. It was fun to do everything so little. My fav. part is the applique, a deer cut from the dress material I used for my niece and T. I think we will have one of the cutest easter pictures ever! I can not wait to go visit them, I can't stand that they are 3000 miles away! So now I have to finish T's dress, and a few other projects.

Great Day

We had a wonderful day today! Baby T woke up early so she and I cuddled up together for a while. We got dressed and went for a nice walk. We came back and got dinner going in the crock pot with a recipe from the crock pot lady. Then we left to go see a friend and had a great time playing. Molly our friend, was so sweet. She shared everything with T, even tried to feed her some of her oatmeal! It was so much fun. Then we went in to quickly visit with Molly's mommy while she was at work. We got home and played with dada and bruno and have just been hanging around since then. What fun we had... only I did not get any of my projects done, woops!
to top off our great day, everyone is coming over for dinner tonight =)

happy b- day dr.

Today is Dr. Suess' 105th birthday! We decided to celebrate by reading I wish I had duck feet while wearing our knitted duck feet that a friend made for us. We also plan to start on my nephew's shirt and T's dress for our easter photos. My niece already has her bamboo printed dress, T's will be the same bamboo material, different style, and my nephews will be green bamboo with an aplique to match the girls. It looks like we will have a fun day!!

a request

Last month I created custom t shirts and bags for a military auction. The t shirt went for $20, and the bag went for $25. They were very fun to make and I hope I can do something for there next one. The bag I created was wonderful, based on my fav.

shopping bag, I will make many more of those! Someone at the auction thought it was an apron from a glance, and asked my sister (whom this was all for) if she could get me to make him one.

So here it is, without their emblem printed, I made it with red thread to match there color scheme (red and black). The bag and apron material is untreated cotton the shirt is american apparel. If you have any custom logos you would like printed on t shirts, homemade bags, or anything else you can come up with, I am always up for a project!
