It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas...

 

Yep.  I made my Christmas tree skirt in April!!!  Last year I had SO many Christmas projects that I wanted to complete for the boys and our home, and I got NONE of them done due to lack of time...so why not get started early?!

When I discovered I would be able to play with this adorable Brrr line from Laurie Wisbrun , I just knew I HAD to make some cute Christmas goodies with it!

 

I had a really hard time deciding just what I was going to make, but when I saw this pattern available from Fourteen May, I knew that was it!  I loved everything about it.  Especially the pom pom trim!  I'm a sucker for pom pom trim!

 

I didn't follow the pattern exactly, made a few changes...the biggest one being the bias tape all the way around the edges.  I am thrilled with how it turned out.  Mostly because of the fabric!

 

The fabric I used for the bias tape is from the Brrr line too.  It reminds me of those little candy dots that are stuck to the paper...no? :)  I especially LOVE the colors!  Aqua, Red, White, and Coral.  My favorites!!!!  I love that it's not "traditional" for Christmas.  

 

Griffin wanted a picture with the tree skirt too.  He was feeling a little left out. 

 

Notice the snowflake stitching around the edge?  

 

I am a lucky girl to have had this opportunity to have such gorgeous fabric to make this with!  Thank you Laurie, and Robert Kaufman!  The polar bears are incredibly adorable!!!

 

Don't worry, the Brrr line by Laurie Wisbrun is due to hit stores in June!!!  You'll have plenty of time to make cute things before Christmas too! :)  

I have a few more things in mind for this fabric, I can't wait to show you guys!

These two images were recently sent over from clients or photographers who bought one of my Little Man onesie, and had their babe's picture taken with it on.  How cute are those precious little boys!?

It's Laurie Wisbrun's Brrr line - due to arrive in stores in June!

I have to give a HUGE thanks to Allie over at Robert Kaufman for sending me this absolutely adorable fabric to play with.  I am SO lucky! :)

I have some cute plans for this fabric.  I am so excited, I can't wait to show you guys!!

A New Owl!

Check out how cute this little Ric Rack Owl is!  Kate from See Kate Sew picked me {and a few others} to test out her pattern!!  I made one for each of the boys...and of course could only grab a picture of 1 of the boys with his owl...the other 2 were non-compliant.  Well, ok...I fibbed a little bit.  Ethan was at school and Griffin wouldn't sit still....he kept throwing his owl across the room.  So Sam was the only willing one! :)

Whats not to love about that cute little owl!?  They would make a great gift, and with Christmas just around the corner?   Imagine that cute owl peering out the top of your little one's stocking waiting to be loved to so many years to come!  The pattern is available here!  Thanks so much Kate for allowing me to test your pattern! :)

Back-2-School.

These cute little eco friendly lunch bags listed in the shop just in time for back to school!

They are prefect for that little one in your life!  Lined with interfacing and insulbrite to help your childs lunch stay cooler longer!  How cute are they!? :)

Children at Play!!

Oh my goodness!!  Why have I not heard of Sarah Jane Fabric before?!  How has this slipped by me?  I literally stumbled upon it yesterday when I was looking at iron on embroidery patterns, and then I discovered the cutest fabric ev-ah.  Not kidding.  I bought all the boy collections.  I can see a super cute quilt in the near future.  And some cute bibs.  Oh my gosh.  I can hardly contain my excitement!!!  It's a tough call, but I think this one is my favorite:

It's just all American boy, and so incredibly cute.  It's really really hard to find such cute boy fabric, that would work well for an older boy too.  I am so excited.  I think I might end up changing up E's room with this line!
