Couture

Fabric by Amy Butler

It is April, and I am just now finding time to play with the sewing machine that Ben gave me for Christmas. This is what happens when you plug in Becoming Jane and sew until 4:00 am... a stroke of genius! I didn't use a pattern, just good old fashioned measuring and studying some pictures on Etsy. First thing this morning, I drove the dress (with Evie in it because she refused to take it off) to my mom's so that she could give me an "atta-girl!" I'm feeling pretty proud of my toddler couture and I am just itching to make some more! I already ordered some more fabric today!!!

BTW: Ev is wearing a hair clip from one of my new favorite Etsy sellers, check out Strawberry Swirl here!

Shirts for "Kenna"

Here are a couple of shirts that I did for one of Evie's besties, McKenna. I really think you can't go wrong with the lil bird, and the butterfly is just so very fun!

For My Biggest Fan

Throughout the whole Sample Project, one very special little person stood by watching. She cheered for each design, she squealed over each little animal, she tenderly held every shirt. Of particular interest to her was the Lil Bird applique, which she lovingly referred to as a "ducklin" (southern twang and all). With each finished product came the same question, "Oh Mommy, is this one for me?", and with every asking of this question came the same answer, "Not this one, but I will make one for you soon". So my little one, here is a "ducklin" for you. Too little too late, and not enough to say how much I love you, or how much I treasure your support!

Looking Forward to Spring 2009

During my recent down time (who am kidding - all I have is down time!) I've started planning my Spring 2009 designs for my etsy.com shop; new personalized appliqued T. shirts, hair bows, personalized burpies, new fabrics, the works! One of the things I'm most excited about starting this spring is a "design your own paci clip" offer! That's right - you pick the fabric, ribbon, font, and thread color. I'm still buying fabric and ribbon choices, but I promise to share as soon as I get it all together. One of my favorite things I've come up with so far is this little castle T., perfect for my little princess and yours! It will be available for purchase online in January (when my life sorts out and I can actually commit to things again - lol). I'll be posting all of my new designs as I complete the samples - let me know what you think!

Happy 2nd Birthday Evie!

Evie's Birthday Trip to The Zoo

Sniglet and The March of Dimes

Baby Evie - 34 Weeks Gestation - January 15, 2006

"Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in Walk America support research that saves babies' lives. Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Please visit my blog on Share Your Story www.shareyourstory.org/webx/.ef45b97 "

My husband and I are excited to be participating in the St. Johns County March of Dimes walk this coming Saturday, November 10th (in honor of our Sniglet). Together we have already raised almost $500.00. To support us by giving money to our team, please visit my Walk America web site at http://www.walkamerica.org/personal_page.asp?w=933364.
