Inspired By My Family

While I was in Colorado, my sister-in-law gave me a book of wallpaper that I found interesting. The card to the right was made with a sample upholstery fabric that matched a wallpaper. I would hate the wallpaper but it made a fun card. The card to the right was inspired by a throw pillow that was in a book my mom sent me. I also used the sewing machine my mother handed down to me to make these cards. I have my mother-in-law to thank for the scrap of fabric I used. I really enjoy making home made cards and can't wait till all my other fabric and art supplies finally get unpacked!

New Baby Gifts

I recently went on a trip to Colorado to spend time with the in-laws and got to go to my sister-in-law's baby shower. I wanted to make something special for the little one but no one knows if it is a boy or girl. The baby is due October 1st so I wanted something that was a little warmer for the baby and decided to go with a fall theme. Here is what I came up with:
(1) Acorn Long-sleeved Onsie (2) Maroon Baby BootiesThis was my first attempt at baby booties. I thought they turned out pretty well (even after my pattern instructions flew out the car window on the way to Colorado).
