Pink Shirt

Here's Heidi in a pink shirt I made for her, which was my second attempt at sewing something without a pattern, using another garment for a guide. It turned out pretty well except it seems to have too much extra material at her chest and I had originally planned the sleeves to be longer. I'll have to adjust for next time - I plan on making a bunch more of these out of some sweet old baby blankets that we aren't using anymore.

What would this sound like if it were a song?

Here's little Harrison in the outfit I made for him.

Sucker for Ric-Rac

I am totally a sucker for ric-rac. I love the stuff. This is the first time I have ever sewed a garment where I picked material that looks almost exactly like the one on the pattern package.

The lollipop has become a necessity, in Elsie's mind, for taking photographs in dresses. I made her first dress last week and gave her a yellow lollipop when we took the photo, and this time she was like, where's the lollipop? So here it is.

Tree Swing 2

Here is the after and before of this painting. It was fun painting the dots. I think I like the style overall, but it made the sky a little too crazy. Next time I do this I will try to make the dots smaller and much subtler.
