isn't she adorable? i made this little girl from a pattern from susan anderson that she designed for "spud and chloe", a new yarn line. since i don't have a source for that yarn, i simply used something inexpensive from michaels. it's a gift for a little girl having a "splish splash" birthday party so my d-i-l suggested i make her a bikini which really gives her character!

here she is getting ready for a swim!

this is the first one i made for gabe. he loved it!!
i think i'll do a pink one for georgia!

sneaking this in on my fourth of july posts! i finally entered an apron in angry chicken's tie one on flickr group. the theme was pie-making and this recipe is really good. i had extra tomatoes and wanted to try something new. i didn't make my own crust but i love the store bought one anyway. the apron is made from vintage fabric and trim from my mom. of course, katie cabbaged on to it right away and i had to get it back from her to take a picture. it was fun making the apron and pie!! go check out the other aprons-so much inspiration!!

red, white and blue.....the third day

a dress for georgia. i had so much fun making this one. tried different methods for the stars, intarsia, stranding, but finally decided to duplicate stitch them. the red thread showed too much behind the white. really happy with the way it turned out and can't wait to see her wear it!

red, white and blue.....the second day

canning supplies......a little blue and white......
