small fries

I've been accumulating pictures of baby items for awhile.  It seems I just do a baby thing or two here and there, but recently I did a pretty big order for a new baby on the way.  So, it seemed like time to post the pics.  New baby also has a big brother and big sister . . .

This onesie is to match something else I did for big brother and big sister too . . .

This onesie was a gift for a friend of mine . . .

New baby's name is Bennett.   You can tell I'm digging the blue seer . . .

 

I think Bennett should be pretty stylin' . . .

 

A basic set I did a while back for a customer.  Sweet and simple . . .

This was for my girls' music teacher Ms. Stephanie.  She is a new grandmother and her grandmother name is "Sassy" . . .

 

This one I did a couple of months ago and had just acquired this font, fishtails.  As you can see from baby Bennett's things, I've used it a lot since I got it! . . .

new year. new babies. new fabric.

So, it seems like it's been awhile since I've had a lot of orders for baby gifts, but apparently, the new year is a time for showers. I've done several burp cloths lately.



I love this little fancier girly one I did. Except for that it is off-center. And I'm a perfectionist. Even if it is just for a baby to throw up all over. I'm having trouble in my 4x4 hoop because the design usually can't be moved around at all because it maxes out the space. I think my needle may be off-center because no matter how much I work to get the item centered in the hoop, it is always off. I need to get it checked out.

A few pairs of bloomers for a third girl in the family of one of Evynne's friend's.

And I hit Thimbles today for 2 spools of thread and 2 fabrics. This is what I got in addition to my list . . .

I've said it time and time again. I have a problem.

Is anyone else loving this fabric as much as me?! . . .

How precious would this be for a skirt or capris with a turquoise shirt for the spring/summer?! I love you Fabric Finders Fabric.

a few girl things

B2S and a few gifts

Evynne is finally heading to K-4 in a couple of weeks {they don't start until after Labor Day}. Next week we get to go to Open House and meet her teacher, see her classroom, etc. I LOVED this crayon trio from Applique Cafe as soon as I saw it and when I asked Evynne what she would like {I gave her a few choices}, she picked this one too. YAY! So this is what she'll wear to Open House next week . . .

I used Madison font to add her initials . . .

Then, I found this precious skirt on the Chez Ami finale sale page and when it went an additional 20% off, I grabbed it! Fortunately, I already had a brown shirt that I could make to go with it. Again, I couldn't resist the zigzag apple from Applique Cafe . . .

She'll wear this for the first day of actual school {Wednesday after Labor Day}. I'm kicking myself for not putting a layer of white {interfacing or fabric} behind the hot pink for the apple. The brown shows through too much and it's not as bright as I would've liked. That's what I get for trying to skip a step!

It's still super-cute though and Evynne is already begging to wear it. You can't argue with that!

And, of course, all of us here in the South know that Back to School also means back to football. A customer brought me these cute Chez Ami dresses to monogram for her girls {and Auburn fans} . . .

I also had a few gifts to squeeze in the past couple of weeks. Evynne's friend Emma just turned 3 . . .

And this is a baby gift for one of my sister's friends. So sweet . . .
