Onesies Under Glass

 Earlier this week, one of my customers surprised me with their baby shower story.  She said that her  co-worker, who received a dad+mom=me onesie as part of the gift, loved it so much that they framed it!  Imagine, my work under glass!

Baskets of Fun

One of my good friends commissioned me to make an Easter Basket for her three month old son.  She found a pattern on Moda's Bake Shop  for a Fabric Easter Basket by V and Co, and I just finished the prototype!

I'm glad I made my own first, because the finished basket was a lot smaller than I (and my friend) originally thought it would be.  The Easter Bunny's got many years ahead to fill it full of Easter goodies, so I'll be enlarging the finished basket.  My only other complaint, is that I followed her directions, but they make no mention of a thimble...my fingers were quite sore from all the hand sewing.  I've got to find my thimble before I start the next basket!

In case you were wondering, this easter basket doubles as a great hat!

Why 2 is Better than 1

Because it makes Mom's smile twice as big!

100 Posts!

This is my 100th post!  A few months ago this seemed to far away!  Back then, I planned for a fun blog banner design competition, but number 100 snuck up on me and I didn't get a chance to set it up.  Maybe for the 250th post?!?  I'm off to Wisconsin to visit my Grandmother this weekend.  Ironically, I finished up the evening embroidering an "i heart grandma" onesie. 

Now to go fit my weekend essentials into a carry-on and 1-quart plastic bag!

Onesie Flying off the Virtual Shelves

Saturday, instead of working on my mounding pile of projects, I helped my mother-in-law shop for a new sewing machine!  I just loved having an excuse to check out the latest features and newest machines.  We saw some beauties, but it seems that the features and price of the Brother Innov-is 1500D really caught her eye.   She hasn't bought it yet, but I hope I get to come over when she unpacks it!  Probably the only thing better than the smell of new fabric, is the smell of a new sewing machine.

Aside from the pleasure of helping my mother-in-law shop, I also cranked out a couple more custom onesies and this cute burp cloth that I'm hoping to get in my store soon:
