Care Package

Well...I haven't gone away to camp but isn't a package from your mom always a care package! These adorable liners came in the mail today (thanks mom!) and I LOVE them. I definately see baking in the near future! Included as well was an adorable dinosaur shaped sandwich cutter for the boys. Dinosaurs are big in our house these days so I'm sure the cutter will be a winner.

Thanks again mom.....you know how much I love to get a package in the mail!!

Love the liners? You can find them here.....

Ragamuffins

Ragamuffins are coming! I am super excited about these new quilts! Rag Quilts have been around for ages but adding great new modern fabrics really brings them back with style! This quilt is Lovey sized at 17" x 17" and is for a special friend with an adorable new baby boy! I can't wait to give it to her!! I like this size because it's great for covering up a newborn but transitions well into a perfectly sized lovey for baby and toddler! Best of all...this thing loves being washed and dried and gets better and better each time! What could be more carefree?

I'm still contemplating sizes etc so they won't be listed at Etsy or on the website until I've worked that out! Tenatively I'm thinking about having a Lovey size, traditional blanket size and Crib size. We'll see.........

Mentionables....

Just wanted to make a quick post to say thank you to Sew, Mama, Sew! for adding a directory of shop's to thier blog! I am so happy to be included!

Anyone else out there with a fabric obsession....Sew, Mama, Sew! is a great place to fuel the fire...

Custom Creations

I thought I would share a few pics of a custom order from my Etsy site that I'm working on! I love getting custom orders....it's so much fun to get a glimpse into someone else's vision!

This order is for Nursery Storage Cubbies....three of them...in a gorgeous Heather Bailey floral with a coordinating jelly bean pattern and matching solid green. I took a few pics of the work in progress and one of the finished project too! One down....two to go!

I can see them in my mind filled with little diapers, wipes, blankets and all the other millions of baby needs!

Thank you Beena....I hope I'll get a pic of them in action!

Loose ends....

These Burpee Bundles and Everyday Bibs have been begging to be tied up with thier tags for selling and now it's finally done! I'll have them listed on the Ready To Ship page asap and some others will be listed at my Etsy shop too!

The Green Girlfriend dress is so adorable that I have to order more of this fabric! I have visions of using it for Burpee Bundles, Everyday Bibs, Rufflers, Baby Bunz and more, more, more!

All Work and No Play

I did all the vacation clean-up I could stand today and was really itching to get my hands on the sewing machine...so that's what I did! The kids took a great nap and I had a lot of fun making a few things. I love the way the Rufflers look all packaged up with ribbon and a tag! They really make a mommy want to have a little girl.

Speaking of something to make you wish for a little girl....I LOVE these pinafore dresses!

I had the fabric cut already so they were just screaming to be sewn! It's really fun playing with the fabric combinations since they are reversible.

More sewing tomorrow....can't wait!

Vacation...Sweet Vacation!

We're back! What a fun vacation. It was a super busy week but we all had a great time! The kids did so great and I think they would rather live in a hotel than thier own house. Jacob loved sleeping in the "big" bed and Jackson was right at home in his usual spot on the floor! I'm beginning to wonder if he'll ever sleep in a bed again! It was really special to watch them meeting thier Gigi (that's great-grandma) for the first time and they settled in like they have been there all thier lives. We meet a whole host of relatives and friends, played ball in the yard, toured the Kohler showroom, walked in the gardens at the hotel/resort, went to a Brewers game in Milwaukee, etc, etc......

The best part (one that I am paying for now by being on a strict rice and steamed veggies diet) was the food! We ate and we ate and we ate!

Now, of course, there is laundry to get caught up on, routines to settle back into, LOTS of sewing to finish and more! A small price to pay for a great vacation!!
