My dear friend Erica just had a little girl (her 5th!) two days ago . I've been waiting and wanting to call but didn't want to be another "have you had the baby yet?" phone call (hate those!). So as soon as I got the email that her oldest daughter sent out to everyone, I ran to my sewing room to figure out what to send. Erica is Irish and when I say that, I mean she's from Ireland (not just one of those people wearing a "Kiss me! I'm Irish!" t-shirt. You know who you are.). So of course I picked something green. I used the newborn size on the pattern and then made it even smaller. It still seemed a little big but I wanted little Michaela to have something to wear on St. Patrick's Day (which is Monday!).
Isn't it cute?! I love the little panties and she'll be a bonnie lass in it! I also made some burp rags to go with it but didn't have time for pictures since I stuffed everything in a priority box and got to the post office 2 minutes before closing. It's going all the way to Virginia so I'm crossing my fingers that it gets there on time.
I had a real nice treat today when that darling UPS guy showed up again (love him!) and dropped off another box of Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom fabric. I was totally not expecting it and have just been grateful I got the first shipment since I didn't think I'd get any at all. They are just gorgeous and I've already got them listed in my etsy store.
I got this picture taken before trouble showed up.
Get the heck off my fabric!
He had already tried to take a crayon to them as soon as I opened the plastic wrap on the bolts. He totally knows what he's doing so don't think it was one of those cute things babies happen to do. Apparently he likes the flannel best (who can blame him?).
Now he's trying to get all dramatic on me. Seriously, go away.
He just bit his brother on the top of the head (how do you do that?). Around here that's code behavior for "I need a nap right away". Things are quiet now. Ahhhhhh.
Here's something fun I noticed. Look real close at the petals on the Ginger Tile print (I love these colors together!). Now look at the pink fabric next to it. The petals have the same pattern in them! Brilliant! Do you think Sandi knows? I should email her!
She's a genius I tell ya!
Oh, and I'm thinking of listing 1/2 yard combo packs (1/2 yard each of 2 coordinating fabrics together). What do you think?
