Three For Thursday ....

Well ok, I only have two of them done so far, but there will be three. 

These are for the big Little and the middle Little.  I still have to do one for the bitty Little.  

The pattern is Easy Peasant Dress by Tie Dye Diva.  It is truly easy.  (Seriously, I made both of these in one afternoon/evening).  Her patterns are great and soooo easy to follow.  I've been sewing for 30 years (ok, I took a 15 year hiatus) and I've learned several new techniques and tricks from her instructions. 

I'm looking forward to making them some fall and Christmas dresses from this pattern. 

Upon the recommendation of several other bloggers, 

I bought these labels from IkaPrint.  

And just for your viewing pleasure, here's a new pic of the bitty Little. 

Edited to add a photo of my reluctant model: 

(sometimes you have to be able to decipher in 30 seconds 

or less if any alterations need to be made.)

After trying this on her though I think this may be my "go-to" pattern for lots and lots of dresses for the Littles.  (I already have some Fall and Christmas fabric for them)

Throwback Thursday ... the Halloween version ...

1986

 (we are not from TN - we just had some old souvenir t-shirts on hand)

 

 

Earlier that same year ....

Monday Madness ....

A whole bunch of random .....

 

I made this quick little tote for Gabbie to have to haul her loot in.

 

 

We went to the church where BabyGurl is youth director for their festival last night. 

 

A friend at work gave Gabbie a bumble bee suit that was a perfect fit!

                  The Fox, The Hound (disguised as a                       My little bee!

                       pumpkin!) and the Bumble Bee.

 A while back I used this tutorial to make a crayon roll for a co-workers son and this week I made a couple more in some bright, fun, leftover from my playmate quilt, fabrics.

 

 

I made this little(orange/yellow) crayon roll for Gabbie to use at church (she loved it!)  and another (green/blue) one for sale on Etsy.

 

Then last night I saw this quick tutorial for wine glass coasters.  Somebody is going to get some of these for Christmas.  "Dear Somebody, if you are reading this blog, please act surprised when you open your gift!"

 

So, that's kind of a recap of my week in a nutshell.  (After all, where else should nuts keep their recaps but in a nutshell?)

 

Happy Monday y'all !!
