more for Evey


I painted this little storage box for Evey. I had a lot of fun designing, drawing and painting it freehand.


I wanted it to look a little old and retro so I sanded the edges so it didn't look to new. Three different boxes stack and then tie together with a bow.


Another look at the top. I love how it turned out. I am a bad photographer  so just pretend like it is a good photo.


This is the doll I made to go with her cowgirl quilt. I tried to make the doll look like the girls on the quilt, with bright red lips and pink round cheeks.


I love having a granddaughter.

sewing for Evey

I have the best news ever! My first grand baby is soon to be born. I can't wait! It seems like yesterday when we found out that she would be coming into the world. But she took no time in growing.


 I have got a new deeper passion for sewing and have enjoyed my evenings working on gifts for my sweet little girls.



  

I crocheted her a yellow blanket and then sewed flannel to the back. Next I tie quilted it and added a satin edge. You just can't have too many different textures when it comes to babies. Then I made booties to match. I love the feel of the soft baby yarn, flannel, satin and the little ties all together . I hope my little Evey will too.

 Everyone needs a little grab and go diaper bag for wipes, diaper and a changing pad.


I love this baby quilt. Its all little cow girls. I had so much fun making it. I hand quilted it and then tied it. It has a retro look that made it supper fun to make. I now want to make Evey a whole little cowgirl outfit to go with it.

 No little girl could have two many head bands or shoes....
                                                                                                     

Booties tops and bottoms


 I am working on a cloth doll that goes with this quilt. She has a little embroidered face that matches the printed girls, and yellow yarn braids. I will post a photo when she has clothes. We can not be putting naked dolls on the web, now can we?
    
I am still working on a retro ,circus themed quilt . Sarah said she thinks it will be her favorite so I am not going to post it until she sees it. Its on the quilting frame now . I am loving working on it. The fabric is so soft and I can't resist the print. This is a a small sneak peek at the fabric when I was piecing it.  (this is the just the complementary fabric. Sorry no looking at the retro fabric yet.)
