A Little Ava Rose

I just added a few prints from Tanya Whelan's line Ava Rose to my Etsy shop and to the website. And it's part of my FreeSpirit Frenzy sale!

Freespirit Frenzy Sale!!

I'm having a Freespirit Frenzy sale! All Freespirit and Westminster prints in my Etsy shop and on my website are marked down starting now, through January 31. That includes all the new Jay McCarroll and Tina Givens and Sugar Snap by Melissa Averinos!

Long Time No See

Where have I been? I'm not sure, but I know I haven't popped in here for a while. After the kids being out of school for three weeks and the holidays, I'm just now feeling like I'm getting back into some kind of groove. I still have yet to get on my sewing machine! Yikes! I think after all the holiday gifts, I got really burned out a little. Anyone feel like that? But lately, I've been really itching to sew again.
I've got a Valentine swap coming up with some girlfriends where we have to spell out the word "HUGS". H is for handmade, so I'm excited to come up with something.
And since I never shared any of my holiday gifts I made, here is one from our Holiday swap. My swap partner was my friend Jen of Little*Red*Wagon. I made her a craft apron, mini card wallet and key fob set made with Sugar Snap! Isn't it cute?

And this wasn't a gift, but I never did share. It's the 2+2 Blouse by Oliver + S in more Sugar Snap. I was so excited to make this pattern as soon I as I got it. I did alter it a bit and left out the button closure on the back. With the opening and tie in the front, there is plenty of room for her head to fit. I love that most of Liesl's patterns go all the way up to a size 8, and they're so well written. I let Miss P pick out the fabrics she wanted. Good choice, huh?


And the Little Bro always needs to get in on the act, so here's a couple just for the sake of cuteness!


It's bright and beautiful today - perfect for sewing! I think I'll start on my swap gifty. But I've also been wanting to do up a Sandi Henderson pattern for Miss P. We'll see which one wins out today.
