babes & babies

Photobucket
The show went SO well! It was so well planned, so many wonderful people came!



Photobucket
I was lucky enough to get a table at the end- so I could put my dress form to the side which meant more room for the stuff on the table.

Lil granny sitting next to the aprons...



Photobucket
I've been invited to their Holiday event- and I'm thinking I just might say yes!

I got a few custom orders at the show, and this week they just keep rolling in- thanks so much guys!

I love, love, love that I am finally working for myself, sewing and creating, my ultimate dream job.

tag-a-long doll and apron for leah

Photobucket
Look what lil Leah's getting for her 1st birthday...



Photobucket
Her very own little dolly...




Photobucket
...and a matching apron!



Photobucket
Her mama, Kim, asked if I could make Leah an apron with matching dolly for her 1st birthday like 3 months ago. Her birthday is fast approaching- so I got busy!



Photobucket
Don't you just love the little yellow pockets?



Photobucket
So back to the dolly...

She's got light blond hair and brown eyes...



Photobucket
I couldn't find any light yellow rickrack, but I did find some light yellow rickrack grosgrain ribbon. (that's a mouthful!)



Photobucket
The fabric is from the "juicy blossoms" line by quilting treasures. It's just so perfect for this project!



Photobucket
Seeing how she is just so cute, I thought I'd show you the back.



Photobucket
Happy happy birthday little miss Leah!!!

mr. monkey

Photobucket
Juniper & Laurel needed boyfriends.


Photobucket
When I picked out the fabrics from my stash- I couldn't believe I found matchy matchy plaid and corduroy.



Photobucket
Silas.



Photobucket
Instead of making ties for these guys, I wanted them to have buttons...



Photobucket
I really like how they turned out!



Photobucket
And of course, pockets.



Photobucket
And red shoes.



Photobucket
Hey Noah, what's up?



Photobucket
After sewing these guys up and turning them right side out, I couldn't help but think that they look a bit like lumberjacks.



Photobucket
Danny says I'm crazy. That they don't look like lumberjacks at all.



Photobucket
But when I see them I get a little tune in my head...



Photobucket
"I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day..." Monty Python anyone?

Available in the shop.

laurel kitty

Photobucket
This is Laurel. She's in the orchestra. They just had a big concert and her mom is letting her wear her fancy dress after school, so long as she practices her cello. She pretends not to like to practice because she doesn't want everybody to think she's a nerd, including her mom.



Photobucket
She is very passionate about music.



Photobucket
Fancy.



Photobucket
Her white ruffle is really baby headband elastic- it's so pretty, I wish it wasn't so expensive!



Photobucket
Do you think she's a nerd?

juniper kitty

Photobucket
This is Juniper. Don't call her Junie, only her BFF Laurel can call her that.



Photobucket
She is a sweetheart.



Photobucket
I always melt at the details.



Photobucket
I dreamed up this skirt all on my own. No kidding- I figured out how to make it just how it was pictured in my head. It may have taken an entire day to do so, but I did it!

And that ruffle? Yeah. I found that at the japanese dollar store. Yes, a japanese dollar store exists, and it's one of the most amazing stores ever. I was a kid in a candy store- I need to go back and find some more treasures!



Photobucket
Little lady.



Photobucket
Can you even stand these shoes?

She is gonna ba a hard one to let go...I can't keep them all! (or can I?)
