H is for...

I am playing along with Katy from

nobigdill.com as she

Sews through the 26 letters of the alphabet.

 

Today is inspired by "H".

 

 

 

 Hello!

 

 

I had high hopes that "H"

would be all about Halloween.

 

However, my 3 Littles are fickle.

It was this, then definitely that...

 

 

I was waiting with 2 Littles

 

 

 

for the fabric

store to open,

hatching a costume plan when...

 

 I found myself across the street

from a second hand store.

 

 

You know what's easier than making

Halloween costumes????

 

NOT making them :)

 

 

The Littlest will be a ladybug.

I could never make something this cute!!

 

And the rest of us are all witches.

 

Until it changes again.

So...

 

 

A little shirt for Nu.

This is possibly the cutest jersey

I have ever seen.

Organic. Yum.

 

 



 

It's called Elk Grove by Jay-Cyn designs

for Birch Organic Fabrics.

Heart. 

 

It's a simple peasant top with shirred sleeves

(in the later photos)

 

Although I love-me-some peasant top/dress

I think a more defined pattern would have

taken the cute up a notch.

 

 

Dag Nabbit you alphabet and your 26 letters!

Haste makes the cuteness factor slump.

 

 

 

This should help.

 

 

Happy Halloween!!!

 

(also BOO!)

 

 

 

"F" is for Fabulous Functional Flannel

I'm playing along with Katy from No Big Dill

as she Sews all 26

letters of the alphabet.

Today I'm posting on "F"

 Funky,

Fabulous

Fashion Forward

(ok I'm pushing it a little)

Functional

Flowered



Flannel!!!

The Blur

would not stop for snaps today.

We did a little gardening in the brand new poo.

2.7 cubic yards of fresh compost

that I shoveled into our new garden.

Apparently I smell bad enough to make

Nu's hair fly up.

But aren't these babies worth it?

Although I loved Nu's last pants for cuteness,

she has very sensitive skin

and the IKEA canvas fabric I used

was too rough for this wiggler.

I mean if she's not doing this:

she's definitely doing this:

So what could be softer than

sweet

sweet

flannel?

The fabric is LOU LOU

by Anna Maria Horner

and called "In The Clearing"

Since Tangles and I were clearing

out the garden,

and we continue to clear out the

neighbours with our

odoriferous compost,

it seemed apt.

Now back to twinkle toes,

and the next chase scene

called: With the Hope of  Brushing Teeth.



 

Dream on.
