I must admit I am a little glad that the contest is over....it is really hard to "craft-on-demand" for over 10 weeks. The contest helped me to think outside of my comfort zone though and come up with things I wouldn't necessarily have made.
My project last week was the screen printed drapes and pillows. I'll be putting up a tutorial for it next week! You can use the tutorial to make your own drapes, pillows, duvets etc!
I've been a little absent the past week and I'm sorry about that! I was a little overwhelmed from all the Three Angels Haiti donations and trying to finish up a pattern at the same time. I also had 2 beautiful nieces born this weekend too....so there was a lot of family time. Two sister-in-laws, two baby nieces, less than 24 hours!
Baby Sawyer was born Friday to my sister-in-law Jen:
Baby Cari was born Saturday to my sister-in-law Carolyn:
Visiting baby Cari at the hospital was a little upsetting for Sienna because she wasn't allowed in the room. She got to see Cari through the window....but she still didn't understand.
We visited baby Sawyer yesterday and Sienna was in heaven. She got to "pet" her and play in her new nursery and play with all her toys.
My new Lil Leggings pattern is now in the shop too! It includes options for customizing your leggings such as: adding trim, gathering/ruching a leg, adding a ruffle, and altering the pattern for length, leg width and rise.
I've also set up another Facebook page JUST for Lil Blue Boo Patterns. Check it out! This is a great way to share your ideas/tips and ask questions of other sewers. I just like seeing the awesome creations!
Have a great day!
Congrats Auntie!! Your nieces are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI voted for your curtains, hehe I can't wait for the tutorial, I have just the place for new curtains ;)
Those girls are too cute! I can see why that would make Sienna upset. I'm excited to checking out your legging pattern. That's the only thing my oldest daughter will wear!
ReplyDeleteOkay, you know you're a mom when a picture of heartbroken little girl almost makes you cry... poor sweet Sienna. I hope she gets to hold Cari soon!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are selling the leggings patern. I bought the blue striped pair for my daughter and they are so cute! Hopefully, I can make a pair almost as nice as the pair you made.
ReplyDeletePretty babies always make me want another. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLook at your sweet nieces. They are so beautiful. Congrats to their new aunt, cousin, and parents. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back :) Hope you are all caught up! I pray there is not another need for such generosity in the near future but am greatful for wonderful people who give their talents to help the world recover from this devastation.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to crafting we go right?

Beautiful babies! I have a Sawyer, too. Hadn't heard of the name until we picked it (don't watch "Lost" :)) and now I'm seeing it more. Lots of fun! Can't wait to get the leggings pattern :)

ReplyDeleteAw sweet little babies, my youngest will be 6 months Friday. Where does the time go??? Can't wait to get my leggings pattern so excited to try them! They sure come in hand during the cool/cold months here in MI. I voted for your curtains! I can't wait to make some for my big window in my house! I made some for our kitchen and bathroom and it was pretty easy, didn't think about silk screening a design can't wait to get some $$ and make some!
