Gratuitous baby pictures
This is NOT something I made, but one of the most precious homemade things I've seen in quite some time. And seriously, how could I pass up a chance to let everyone see this cutie? (the baby, NOT me!)
Lisa had her son, Connor Grayson, at 8:56pm Monday night, February 18th, 2008. Congratulations, Lisa and Ken! I am so happy for you!!

Done! (almost)
Ivy's outfit for Saturday if done. Well, almost. Ignore the wacky neckline on the shirt, I left the elastic I just bought in the car and I don't want to go out and get it!! It's too cold!
The shirt is a little longer than I wanted it to be. I am debating hemming it even further. It's cute on her, but the combination of the falling neckline and the guitar she insisted on holding in the pictures did not make for a good photo shoot. In fact, it made for a photo shoot that was promptly disrupted by lunch. Which is why the next picture is her Valentine's Day outfit on my dirty computer room carpet instead of the outfit on her!

Crafty Mood
I've been in a crafty mood the past couple of days. Of course, I haven't been in the mood to do what I NEED to do, like finish the 120 bow wholesale order I have that is due at the end of the month. I'm just feeling the need to sew, instead. So here's what's was put on the project list yesterday:
Purse from a free pattern I got on YCMT.com
Twirly skirt for Ivy from this pattern
3/4 sleeve peasant top for Ivy from this pattern
The new outfit is for Andrea's engagement party this weekend. Can't have the flower girl showing up in a not new not mommy made outfit, now can I? Here's the fabric that is going to be used:
That's the main skirt fabric with the pink trim.
That's the skirt fabric with the fabric I am using for the shirt.
The purse, you know, the one thing that isn't on a "deadline"..... well, I finished that already. Don't worry, the pieces for Ivy's outfit are cut, just need to get to sewing tonight. Here's the purse:
And a close up of the button closure:
Tonight (maybe today if Ivy lets me) I will get busy on the outfit. And maybe some bows.
