hurry up!

the camera battery is charging. i can't wait to post new pictures from today! arggghhhh.

clapping!!!!!!!

she learned to clap!

she thinks it's pretty cool.
and it is!

red dress.

it turned out pretty good....i decided i DON'T like the bias tape and am going to make my own  for these.
it was stiff and made this fabric pucker.

you can see the pattern better here. and my test tag!
i just ordered a rubber stamp online to stamp a tag for my stuff!

crown gear.

lots of colors! this is gonna be fun....

bloomies, buttons, bias tape.

i made another pair of bloomers. this time, i followed the directions, and they came out great. :) sure shows me. i did pull a dumb-bell move and sew the bias tape on the wrong way. twice. it's like the bloomers have it out for me. i bought some bias tape last night, but either i should try a different size, or stick to making my own. at least for the dresses and bloomers, it looks nice. i also made this pair larger, although it's still a little shy of covering adella's big cloth diaper.

i started this dress last night. got some cute buttons and red bias tape to match. thanks to angel for the pretty red fabric! there are a few other prints that came with this. turns out fat quarters (a certain "cut" of fabric) are the perfect size for this dress pattern.

asher's crown.

i am making a crown for a little 2 year old boy named asher. he loves adella.

he's going to love this crown!

i used some foam letters to stamp out his name on the felt pieces.

naked crown. i made a template for future crowns!

i used pinking shears to cut out the letters and then sewed them on using a zigzag stitch.

added buttons and bits of felt for decoration!

stitched around the top and bottom....

.....and viola!! 

a neat crown! it didn't take too long to make and it was fun designing it!

yes, your majesty.

queen adella.

i've been thinking about making these for a while....they turned out awesome!

this one is for my nephew, owen.

all i used for these was 2 sheets of felt, felt scraps, buttons, ribbon and little bells. they were easy! you could use all kinds of odds and ends. adella's is simply felt scraps sewn on, very baby friendly. fun!
