Crib in a Cranny

Well, little girl got herself a crib and a nook and now we must find some bedding for her.  I get so pleased everytime I see it with Talise's quilt tucked in there. 

Single Digit Countdown

According to my meticulous calculations, I declare Sunday a milestone.  31 weeks means that we have 9 weeks left and although they say never to think about it - 6 weeks until she is "full term". 



baby + 3 egg omlette and hash browns



While doctors maintain she will be born around 9 weeks from now, I claim that my belly button will pop out in about 9 hours from now.  You know where to reach me if you would like to request a photo.

Welcome to the world baby Jane!

Jane, I love you already.  Your little cousin is coming right behind you!

Grazie Aunt Talise!

Another dress from the pattern Talise gave me.  HER mom used it when her girls were little.  MY mom picked out the fabric and suggested the wooden buttons which I think we can all agree was an inspired choice.  And THIS mom found the lace.  Mommies are the best.

Happy Birthday Stella

These are some months old, but in the interest of not pulling a Newport Cruz'n, I will post them.  I used Lara's apron pattern and made little Stella a reversable apron for her birthday.   This is the front and back and if you permit me, I will call your atttention to the pockets and buttons that are reversed as well.  It is just a little waist apron, but on Stella it goes down to her knees.

Grazie Aunt Emily!

Just finished this little treat.  Emily got some great fabric for me to make her a diaper bag and I came across the leftover scraps yesterday.  So, little girl gets a summer dress and Emily gets a slobbery thank-you kiss sometime next summer.

Yes, more clothes for the little lady

Look, I apologize, but without her around I can only post empty dresses that I will force down your collective throats again once she is prancing around in them.  I am happy because I found a store here with tons of great lace.  I suggest you get on the lace wagon, cuz its about to get excessive.
