Zipper Romper & Infant Round Neck Dress

May 7th, 2008

Here is a romper I just finished. I love this. I think all rompers should have zips. :) Or maybe I’m just too lazy for snaps. lol

Here’s a round neck top that I sized down. I can’t decide if I should sell it like I had intended or keep it for DD. :think: I am having this conflict since Ellison has one almost exactly like it

Round Neck Dress for Infant

Whoo wants some summer sun?

April 22nd, 2008

I made this sweet little top for my Ellison. She loves it even though it is not even close to warm enough to wear it yet. Maybe in the next few weeks. Ah to live in the midwest, freezing one minute and boiling the next.

TFL!

Hair Clippies

April 18th, 2008

I saw a post somewhere where the blog author made her daughter some cute little ribbon and clip hair accessories. I loved the look of the simplicity of them and how easy they looked to craft. So I bought some double alligator clips from Everyday Clippies on Etsy. They arrived and I went immediately to the store to get some cute ribbon. I got four spools. A white and black one for Evie’s baptism. A plain pink. A cute pink & green Euro looking one. And another pink & green circles one (see a theme :) ). Initially I wanted something for my daughter’s baptism and while I think I’ll use the white/black one at least for the photos, the alligator clips do not stay in her very short hair.

Testing Testing Testing

April 16th, 2008

I got the wonderful opportunity to test a pattern for That*Darn*Kat.   It’s a great rounded top pattern.  She is aiming to release the pattern some time next week.  It was quick and simple.  Just perfect.  I’ll be offering one of these cute tops at my HC Shoppe at the end of this month.

Fall is On The Way

August 31st, 2007

So Fall is coming, with winter soon to follow. So I am beginning to start my SWAP (sewing with a plan). This will be my first season trying a SWAP. And I’ve got to be honest, I LOVE the planning of it all. But I am a bit concerned that I’m not going to find a good middle ground between making too little and planning too much. Does that make sense? So far I have come up with this as my plan. I welcome any comments on it.

For my DD:

2 pair of pants

2 dresses

4 tee shirts

2 tops

For DS:

4 pair of pants

2 button shirts

5 tees

And of course I have two boys, though one of the them is only in 2T. Besides planning the SWAP, I’ve been making hats. I’d done my DDs. It was done on the Knifty Knitter. I still think I should have used a more bulky yarn, but it turned out nice. And she LIKES it!

So now I’m on to my sons. But I need some size 10 circs for it. Maybe next week after my block of the month.
