One of those days

Thursday was just one of those days! You know the kind. Things went from bad to worse and I just wanted to go to bed and start over. The only problem was it was 1:00 in the afternoon and I still had carpool, homework, dinner to fix (we did order pizza) and take James to basketball practice.

It started with my trip to Starbucks that morning. I rarely treat myself to Starbucks, but did this day. I got home ready to drink my coffee and enjoy my breakfast sandwich and realized they gave me the wrong order! It went downhill quickly after that. Everything just seemed to take longer and was more difficult than it should have been.

OK, enough whining. Friday was a much much better day and very productive! Annamarye's teacher is expecting a boy in the spring. She found this Moses basket at a consignment sale. A friend of mine took the cover apart and remade it using the chocolate brown minke dot fabric. I did a quick bib for her to go with it. I had good intentions of making something else, but haven't gotten to it.
A few weeks ago I did a bunch of tissue holders for a friend's mom. 18 in all! They are very easy and quick to make.
Friday, I also did several scarves for someone.
Here is a pair of brown and white gingham pants I bought at the kids sale last week. I made this turkey shirt for Annamarye to go with them. I am going to make a reindeer shirt to go with the pants for Christmas.

Elephant Foot Print

I went to a kids clothing sale yesterday and got these pants for Annamarye. Had to get the hounds tooth print! I have some hounds tooth print fabric but it is a little bigger and didn't look right so I just used some black and white gingham. It is hard to see in the picture, but it looks really good together!

I'll be posting more soon!

Christmas

I LOVE this design!! It is really an applique, but I just did it without fabric behind it here to sample it. I am going to put this on a dress for Annamarye and either a sweatshirt or t-shirt for me! Maybe both! This is a great design for older girls too.

This is another favorite of mine and is great for older girls!

Reindeer

This is my all time favorite reindeer applique!! I just love it! Last year I used this one for boys and girls. For girls just add a bow.

This is a wonderful reindeer too, especially for older children.

Thanksgiving Turkey

OK, Halloween is over and time for turkeys! Here is a cute one I did yesterday on a couple of shirts for a lady's nieces. I will definitely be putting this on something for Annamarye! I am getting out Christmas stuff too! I can't wait!
