New collars in the Catalog

May 28, 2008 at 03:39

Hi everyone.

I have finished a few more collars to add to the Catalog.

Thanks to those who have inquired.









These collars are large (15" - 24" neck size, with 1 inch clips) . Made from imported Japanese panda bear fabric.

Here is a stylish new collar for Ruby as well. She has been in need of one for sometime.



Ruby modeling.





Have a great day!

New things galore!

May 23, 2008 at 02:58

Well wait a minute Mr. Postman.

Is this correct? Can it be? There is a little package for Tailor. Who knew she was here? Oh well, everyone in blogland I suppose.

What is it you ask? What was in that package...



A beautiful new dress from our friend Babz. Thank you Babz! We love it.

Oh. I also made a new pillow cover for Benjamin.



So cute and simple.

Linen, Japanese elephants, and Amy Butler fabrics.

TTFN!

Sweet little pants

May 14, 2008 at 04:14

Well I finally sat down and figured out how to make a wide leg toddler pant. It took lots of tweaking, but they are great! They are also addictive to make.

I made about a dozen pair (many of which wound up in Tampa for my niece and nephew).

Forgot to take photos of those, but here are two that are still with me at the moment. They will wind up in the catalog before to long.





So stay tuned!

Thank you to all my family and friends for their support and comments along the way.

xoxo

Bossa nova

Apr 22, 2008 at 06:45

Well tonight I have decided to break out the old 1950's Columbia turntable and an old Brazilian bossa nova LP to set the mood while I finish some projects.





Little did I know the music would attract some 'company.' Not only did I get a little company, but I also got a show. The music was such a hit that we listened to it for hours. (I guess Ben likes bossa nova.)



It was cute. As soon as the record was over, Ben would jump up and sign, 'more! more! more!'

If you like you could watch a bit of this action on you tube.



Well a few hours later, I was able to finish this sweet little bag for my girlfriend in Seattle. Now I just need to get off of my duff and mail it to her. Because I am sure she is wondering where it is. (Sorry it's so late, but you see what I am dealing with here!)





Also started a little pair of pirate pants for Benjamin (you can see the scraps of fabric around his neck... we have decided to call it his 'business tie'). Actually, I finished the pants, but they were a wee bit big so I will need to fix them another day.

I am too tired to do it tonight.

Cheers!

Dino love

Mar 19, 2008 at 02:18

Well I am a little late posting these, but here are some photos of the dinosaur costume I made for Benjamin so he could attend a birthday party at the Science Center.

Work in progress...

Ouch! Watch out for all of those needles... believe it or not, they were really required to keep the costume together while stitching.




Poor dear. Is papa teasing the baby over his new look? (Mean 'ole papa)



After 15 minutes in the costume and a handful of chocolate covered popcorn you would almost think Ben was enjoying himself.




Thanks to the Solers' for the invite! We had a fabulous time!

How many more days 'til Christmas?

Dec 12, 2007 at 03:41

First:

I would like to thank dear hunny bunny for "fixing" my site to load multiple pictures.

"Thank you, hunny bunny!"

Last night:

Here is a cute photo we took last night for "Paws and Claus." I would have rather not been in the photo, but little B was not going to sit still otherwise. Good 'ole Ruby was just along for the ride. Oh, and the cute Claus is our neighbour, Jerry. We live in a very eclectic neighbourhood, both Mr. and Mrs. Claus are there.



Second:

I would like to show off my newest edition to the Nine Fireflies line.

A cute dog collar made of this fabulous panda fabric I had sent over from Japan. Once dear Hunny Bunny can find the time to set up my "little shop" I will be offering them for sale.



Last:

I would like to tell everyone out there in Blogland, "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays." We will be visiting family this season, but I hope to still be posting from Florida.

A is for Ava

Dec 4, 2007 at 08:04


Well I finally sat down last night and did some great sewing therapy. I finished five appliqued onesies and a pair of wee baby pants.

Here is a sneak peek at one of the finished items.

I would have shown you more, but my hunny bunny needs to make a tweek to the site so I can list more than one photo with each post >hint hint<.
