2 Months Old

Miss Marion is already 2 months old today. It has gone by fast! She is so so sweet.

I made this Kimono from a vintage pillowcase a few months before she was born. I put it on a month ago and thought I had wasted my time making it since it was so big and looked all bunched up. I tried it again today and found it much prettier. Why do we forget that our babies grow so fast?

The pattern is from a vintage layette set. Some of it seems insanely impractical with all the tiny bias tape and ties but I had to try a few. I may make another in fabric that doesn't wrinkle so easily! Did you have a favorite thing you made for your baby to wear? She has already almost grown out of those cute baby pants I made!

Sweetie. Pie. Oh my goodness what a beautiful baby girl. Doesn't she just make your heart melt? My "baby" is 27, I need some grandchildren!

Oh she is so sweet. How nice to see a baby dressed in baby clothes. Most babies these days seem to be in jeans when they are 10 days old.

I've made my last two babies several items from vintage layette patterns. They are quite fussy, but so cute that at least a few of them are worth the time and effort! Her kimono turned out adorable!

January Birthday Girl Anne turned 7 last week. I won't give my usual "time marches on" speech but I am feeling it. She is a precious girl ~ happy and sweet and full of generosity. She also has a new side to her that Travis and I are noticing. Her big sister likes to be ready for the bus EARLY. Like 20 minutes early. This is not important to Anne and she is showing a strong aversion to being rushed. She waits to put on her coat. She lingers over hugs to the baby. She slowly ties her shoes. She wanders around looking...

The Studio at Contempo Owl Bag Sewing Class A couple weeks ago, my friend Amy Frank asked me if she could use the Lola Owl Sewing Pattern for a class she is teaching at the Studio at Contempo in Boalsburg PA (near State College). I said yes (of course!) and please send me some pictures. I have heard from past customers that girls this age love to sew up Lola and I wanted to see some proof! I wish I could have been there to take this class too! I bet these girls had a blast sewing up their bags. You can almost hear all the giggling and...
