A New Year

A New Year once again.  My favorite time for sketching and planning new projects.  What am I working on?  The instructions for a "Little Hearts" smocking design, posting in plenty of time for Valentines Day. :)

Merry Christmas

I'll be taking a Christmas break in order to have more time for wrapping, baking, hugging, and laughing.  Maybe a tiny bit of knitting or quilt piecing, but nothing demanding, only relaxing.  We hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanksgiving

Let us give thanks.

Winter Sewing

The new Sew Beautiful Magazine has arrived and is full of wonderful ideas for winter sewing.

Not wanting to let the baby boys to be left out, I once again have something in the magazine especially for them.  A long sleeve daygown made out of mint pima cotton with a sweet little train embroidered on the front yoke.  

It had a couple of winter babies and this is just the type of gown that looked so sweet on them.

A Fresh Coat Of Paint

A lot of cleaning.

A fresh coat of paint.

And a whole bunch of reorganizing.

A room now ready for new and fresh ideas.

A Winter Dress

A turquoise corduroy dress for our girl.  Smocked with an original snowman design and trimmed with red gingham piping.  What do I love best about snowmen?  They are appropriate all through the Winter!

Sorry, the snowman design is not quite ready to share.
