And the winner is

Jessica!!

Thanks for all the input ladies, I greatly appreciate it & have lots of new stuff in the works :-)

Opinions = Oven Mitts

Yes, you read that right & no I have not lost it. It's giveaway time & all you have to do is post a comment here telling me what handmade gift items you'd like to see in my etsy shop. Got a special theme or color scheme in mind, go ahead & post that too. I will choose a winner randomly on Sunday evening.



This is just the first of several giveaways I'll be having this holiday season, so keep your eyes open for the next blogaway. I'm also holding a fabulous giveaway in my etsy shop. For every item purchased from my etsy shop from today until December 15th, you're name will be put into a drawing for one of three handmade prize packages!! More details will be coming soon on what is included in the prize packages, but there will be one each for boys, girls & mamas!!

Major Reconstruction

I know I've been MIA for awhile, but I've been working my tail off trying to build up some inventory for my online shops. I've also started homeschooling our 2 oldest daughters, it's just preschool, but we are all having so much fun & C is even starting to recognize words!!

Babycakes is 5 months old already & is such a joy. She is the sweetest little thing & by far the easiest of the 3 (or maybe I've just mellowed out a bit more lol).

From now until mid December, I will be stocking my etsy shop like mad, so be sure to keep checking back. I've got lots of great gift items in the works, as well as embroidered holiday gear for the kiddos.

After the holidays, I will be focusing on stocking cloth diapers & woolies.

I'll be cleaning up my blog this week & holding a giveaway, so stay tuned :-)

I'm Back!

Wow, have the last 7 weeks flown by! I can't believe the baby is almost 2 months old, it just doesn't seem possible. I've still been sewing like crazy, just haven't had much time to post. Now that E is somewhat on a schedule, I should be able to update on a regular basis. Yay!

Here's a few things I've been working on, as well as planning a fall line for my etsy shop.

First, is this adorable patchy Dr. Seuss set that was a custom order. I just love how it turned out, but it used up the last of my beloved yardage, sigh. I plan to use the few scraps I have left to eventually make myself a quilt.
Next, is this cute little newborn romper made to match an apron knot dress I made awhile back for Miss Lucy's big sis.
Also for baby Lucy, this was made from a pottery barn crib skirt! I just adore it & cannot wait to see modeled pics ;)
This is a very belated baby gift for Miss Charlotte. Hopefully, she'll be able to wear it a few times before it's too small.
These newborn gowns are my latest addiction, I will be adding several of them to my etsy shop this weekend, it both boy & girl prints, so be sure to check out the shop if you're interested, they will each include a matching beanie hat.


I've also been making more cloth diapers for our wee one. I am completely hooked on these & I blame you Kristen :-)

Catching Up

A couple custom items for a friends daughter

Fitted Diaper Stash for Ella

Items I sent out for a Baby Swap on Sewingmamas




Goodies I got back from the Baby Swap
Only 2 more days till baby, so it may be awhile until I update again <3

Only 3 Weeks Left!!!

Until I will be mommy to 3, well 5 really, but I can only take credit for 3 of them.

This pregnancy has FLOWN by & I must admit that I am NOT ready for Ella's arrival yet. There is still so much that has to be done & so many projects I want/need to finish first.

I've had a nasty cold for the last week & a half that put me out of commission for a few days, so now I have to play catch up on top of the things that were already planned.

This weekend, I will post some pics of the projects we've been working on, lots of painting & sewing been going on & an attempt at knitting that was less than successful.

Stash Game day 2 ~ Chickadees

I spent the better part of yesterday cutting out several items for my stash game sewing. I decided it was finally time to cut into my beloved chickadee fabric. I wish I had more, but I love how everything has turned out so far.

I made 2 matching Olivia dresses for Cassidy & Sophia. Cassidy had one on before I had a chance to finish the hems lol. I did eventually get her to take it off long enough to finish it up.

Then, I just had to make another pair of undies. I just love how simply & comfy (according to Cassidy) these are. It's the That*Darn*Kat pattern, you can get it here in her etsy shop :-) It's a wonderful pattern to use up your scraps on!
Last, but surely not least is another fitted diaper for baby Ella. I am becoming addicted to making these, I especially love the bamboo fabrics I'm using for the inside layers. Miss Ella is going to have one pampered little tushie <3
