Oh I have been so busy!!

I have been so busy lately! Business has really picked up for me and Spring baseball season has begun too! We are little busy bees around here! And my baby boy, well he is now 18 months old and busier than ever!! And his favorite thing to do right now, go into mommy's sewing studio, snatch a piece of fabric off the shelves and RUN! It's funny, but I try so hard not to laugh. Refolding is becoming old really fast!

So much to share! Lots of sewing getting done, lots of knitting too. I am dyeing my own yarns now(not for sale, just for little ole me!) and that is addicting!

I will share just a couple of knit sets with tees tonight and try and share more over the next few weeks! Going to try and pick back up on this, I haven't been a very good blogger lately!!

This was a set that I finished last month. I dyed the yarn myself with the crock pot and wilton food dyes. It didn't turn out how I wanted it, so I threw a little more color in at the end and let it keep going. I was pretty pleased with the colors in the end, and I love the way it knit up. No fighting this one at all! I made a lochness monster tee to go with it, the colors were screaming ocean to me, but I didn't want a boat or something plain. This one is still in my studio haven't decided whether to auction it this month or keep it! It's hard to let go when I make something that will fit little man!



This one was a mystery yarn that I bought off of hyena cart. Single ply so it does pill more than I like, but the colorway I just fell in love with!

And my little man wearing it! He has lost all his chub!!

This was my latest custom out the door this week. Surf wagon tee and longies knit up with Mosaic Moon Coastal Sunset. I adore this colorway. Thank goodness I have another skein to do Tristan a pair,not sure I would have let this go without it!


And these pictures were taken today. Not the best pictures at all. Little man was so interested in the man next door washing out his paint roller that he could only stand there and stare!

This colorway is called "Frankie", not sure who dyed it. I bought it in 2 seperate scrappy lots on hyena cart. I love these shorties! They yarn is cestari fine and I love to knit with it!! The best part is that it is very low pill! Love that the most! And we had a tee that I had bought for winter never worn that matched perfectly! I just cut the sleeves off! I do have another tee in the works for it, mama made, but just haven't had the time for me sewing in the last couple of days!





That is it for now! I promise to share more often!

My 2nd Set to Match Our Shoes of Course!!

I found these adorable Livie and Luca shoes in a little boutique this summer. Tristan has grown into them now, but I have almost nothing to match them. Found some yarn a while back on ebay and what do you know it was a pretty close match to the blue!

Used the sheepy pants pattern for this pair and they went so much quicker than the 1st pair! No holes either this time to sew up! I think maybe I am getting better!

Made an otto tee to match with a quick hand drawn elephant to match our shoes! We were able to snap a few pics yesterday morning before it became too hot! Baby boy is 14 months old today!!



Now off to knit another pair! Trying a free pattern that I found on ravelry for the next pair!!

Looking Back 6 Years! AND my Winners!

I recently had to purchase a new laptop and I am slowly trying to get pictures off the old one and onto my flash drive. While uploading some pics I realized that it was 6 years ago this month that I started my ebay journey sewing childrens clothing. Before that I had done womens diaper bags and totes. I was feeling a little burnt out and enjoyed browsing the boutique kids clothing. Back then there wasn't near the amount there seems to be now. I decided to make the change and have never regretted it. I just love sewing for little boys!!

This is the first thing that I put up for auction. It was a pair of embellished overalls that matched a Janie and Jack line. I can't remember seems like they went for $30 or so and I was jumping up and down that somebody would actually buy clothing from me!! My photo skills left a lot to be desired, but oh my little man!! I can totally see my Tristan in these pics when I look back. Guess its in the genes, they must be related!





And now drum roll please..........Looks like #30 and #24, alison and c!! Congratulations!!

Emailing you now and will send these out as soon as I get your addresses. Thank you everyone for playing along! Look for more giveaways very soon!!
