Well, I never got around to taking pics of the kimono shirt. I think it’s in the wash. I’ll try and do that soon. But I did take pics yesterday of the newest baby blanket AND a cute little outfit that I made for The Tot.

The blanket is a starry purple flannel affair with quilting around the stars and a soft, warm fleece backing. I used a dark purple fleece for the binding. Soooo soft and cuddly!

I’ve got to work on the pics a bit before I post it to my Etsy Shop . The blanket would be good for a boy or a girl but my backgrounds reflect my current bias toward all things girly. I happened to pick the pink Memory Board behind the blanket up at Ross yesterday to put sketches, notes, and pictures of all the ideas for things I just can’t get to right now and thought, “Hey, maybe I could use that as a backdrop”. Good idea, wrong product.

This cute outfit was just finished yesterday. I had sewn the pants a while ago. I knew I wanted to do something coordinating and yesterday I finally did it. Imagine that.

I appliqued the flower in matching material to a plain white tee that The Tot had in her drawer already and viola! Newness in the wardrobe. Gotta love it! Soon I’m going to make her a matching purse from this tutorial .

The best part is seeing The Tot’s face when she sees the things I make for her. Her little eyes light up and she smiles real big. I’m lucky she’s into the girly ruffles and foo-foo things right now…It’s so much fun!
