They're Knights.....That's Right!


Here is Chandler and Lucas in all their finery. The green tunic was made with scraps from last years' Peter Pan costume for Lucas, the grey sleeves scraps from Aiyana's Cinderella costume, and the gold dragon, from last year's Christmas scraps. Not bad. Both sets of boots are Aiyana's. Lucas is wearing last years and Chandler is wearing this years!

Diana Goddess of the Hunt


Aiyana originally wanted to be Giselle (from Enchanted) but changed her mind to Diana Goddess of the hunt (for the full story go to my site.) So I did this up pretty last minute. The vest, arm bands and head band is the same fabric as the boy's pants and I just used a murella satin for the dress. All scraps that I had, just laying around.

Lucas' pants


Lucas in his faux leather pants. He too will be a knight for Halloween.

Chandler's Pants




Here are Chandler's faux leather pants. I tried to make them as authentic as possible, laces and all. He is going to be a knight for Halloween.

Obsessions for Baby




Okay here are some receiving blankets and burp cloths that I have made to match different outfits for my baby. I know obsessed much. What can I say, I get stuck on one thing and that is that. I made 5 burp cloths each of the following colors: light blue, green, and dark blue. 2 burp cloths each of: dark brown, light brown, orange, and red. Then I made one receiving blanket of green, light blue, dark blue, and one of light blue on one side and dark blue on the other.

Aiyana's Black and White Outfit

Here is an outfit that I made for Aiyana when Toby's Grandma died. I think it is pretty nice. The best thing about it...she can wear it over and over again!

Purple Blanket for Lindsey


We did this very cute blanket very last minute for a friend of mine. She had a baby girl, Lindsey, on the last day of August and they came down here for a visit. I had planned on making her a blanket all a long but I hadn't actually made it yet. When I found out they were in town I figured I had better get it done. So I enlisted the help of Steph and we got this blanket sewen in about 2 hours. I'm very happy with the way it turned out and this type of blanket is starting to become a signature of ours. The only thing I would have changed was the way the top stitching turned out but you can't even really see it in the picture so I guess it's not that bad.
