Americana Longies

This was my most recent Custom Order. The mama who ordered these came up with the design herself. Her husband was returning home from a tour of duty and she wanted something special for their daughter to wear. They turned out amazing.

Some recent sewing

I would like to share some recent sewing. Last week I made an awesome duffle bag. We used it last weekend for a quick overnight and it fit our pj's and a change of clothes for all 5 of us!

Next, I made an outfit for the neighbor's new baby.

Today I made PJ's for our oldest daughter.

Where does the time go?

I found myself swamped with custom orders this last year, mostly diapers. I was barely able to sew a few pieces for my own family. Of course, the holidays came and I wanted to give some handmade gifts, but ran out of time to make them. So, a new year, a new leaf!

This year I will limit the amount of sewing I do for others. I will still knit with wild abandon though! I'm able to do that in my evening down time. :) As well as car trips and hanging out outdoors. :) I also have a lot of projects that I'd like to do for my family. There are so many awesome patterns for Little Ones out "there" that I figure I'd better get to sewing, or I won't have little ones to sew for anymore. :(

2011 will bring about a more relaxed atmosphere here. I'm looking forward to the change.

(I do have to say that I still hope to stock some items on my etsy from time to time.)
As always, if you need anything from me, just ask!
