Where have I been?

I've been making a ton of birthday shirts for my Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser. Thank you to all who purchased them on ebay! I think I'll take a break from Birthday shirts for a little while though- they take a long time to make.










I also made a bunch of these cute bags for the nice girls in my MOPS group. If you have young children or are expecting your first child I highly suggest you check MOPS out. They have chapters all over and it has been one of the best things I have done since becoming a mom.

I used Amy Butler and Ginger Blossom by Sandi Henderson (Michael Miller) fabric which I love!

Here are all the bags cut and ready to sew

All of the completed bags ready to wrap up



And one more thing- a gift pack I made for some friends. Their baby was born in December so I'm a little late :)



I just love making things for people. I bought some really cute fabric to make Brady an outfit. I can't wait to get it and share it with you!

I will post again soon with more pictures!

New Fabric! And some old.

More pictures as promised...

UCLA Burp Cloth and Onesie set I made for my friend Stef to give to a friend. I love this UCLA fabric and have similar style's in USC & Cal designs. Also a shoutout to my friend Erin who reads this - she's a huge UCLA fan and I know she'll like this :)





Cal Blanket- I know I made my neighbor a really cute burp cloth awhile back but I can't find the file.



USC Towel



Some new Alexander Henry Fabric I just bought. I've had the same print in pink but finally got the sand color for boys.



The same print in pink that I made a cute burp cloth out of awhile ago



And finally here is some more Alexander Henry. I love this Japanese print so much I bought it in all three colors. I thought it would be fun to make a tote for a gift and of course for burp cloths, etc.



I would love to upload some photo albums to my blog so everyone can see all of the fabrics I have. I've done some searches online to get help to figure it out but I haven't found any clear instructions. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Busy, Busy

I've been super busy getting orders done and shopping for fabric. I thought I'd share some things I've been working on.


Baby and Big Sister Set- I love the names!





Burp Cloths to go with the onesie- I've been using some new cute fonts



Another Birthday Girl Shirt. I've never used this color combination before but the customer requested it and I think it came out really cute!



And finally- a design I've wanted to try out for awhile. How cute will this look on some little shirts and tanks over the summer. All it needs is a name above or below the design in Disney font!



I have more pictures to share but I don't want to do them all in one post so I will share in the next few days.

CF Fundraiser Update

I want to thank everyone who has checked out my auctions and bought things in the past few weeks. I've raised almost $100 through ebay!

Even though my Great Strides webpage says I've only raised $25 I have actually raised over $1200 in total!!! Most of my donations have come by check and it sometimes takes awhile for the chapter to add them to the website.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me and this great cause!
