A Big Little Statement





These bibs are little.  They are true to their "small baby bib" title.  But.  Everytime I make one, I'm impressed with the simplicity of it and how it evolves into a truly sweet, fun little thing. One brown letter and a bib.  And some kind of sweetness all fastened up with an ultra perfect label.

Heaven




I love to quilt.  It's my favorite part of sewing probably, just sitting with all those fabrics draped over you, needle in hand.  It's a big sacrifice of running the shop, not having the time to quilt anymore.  But I can read!


I am so addicted to these quilting books.  I could seriously buy a new one every week and devour every page.  This one is truly spectacular.  There are some unbelievable takes on antique quilts in there (LOOK at the gorgeousness on the cover).  


I flip through these pages and dream about having the time to put one of these together.  Just the 18 coordinating fabric selections might take a week.  Then I can't imagine how many hours are to be spent cutting, compiling, arranging, and hand sewing this quilt.  There are 384 blades alone.  


But I'm gonna do it one day.  For sure.

Finally







Poor Elise.  I'm sewing away every day and she says, "Mom, can I have a towel?"  So she finally got her towel, and she got to pick out the fabric and everything.

I thought she made a good choice but I should've backed it with a solid green or something.  I didn't think about that until it was done and now I'll look at it all summer wondering why in the world that cute green isn't back there. 

Good thing she's 4 and thinks it's just perfect the way it is!

More Sweet Dish Towels



I just wish these weren't so time consuming.  I feel like I have to charge so much to get my time out of them, but when I finish, they turn out so so cute.  

I'm getting caught up!!  Be on the lookout for some new products that I am very excited about.  Very fun, sweet stuff.
