Amy Blooder, um I mean Amy Butler shirt















I have been in a baby girl sewing frenzy lately. I think I got sick of sewing baby stuff, then got sick of sewing and just read (and I admit, napped) when I had time. But I wanted to make a gift for a certain sister in law out of a yard of Amy Butler fabric that I had lying around. When I had finished the gift - more on that later - I had some fabric left over and let me tell you I am not going to let Amy go to waste! So I wiggled a pattern I had around until gosh darn it, I made it fit onto that little scrap. What I got was a little baby belly shirt, so I bought a chubby 8 that coordinated with it and added it to the bottom. I think it made it even cuter! I love Amy Butler.
Little Bee wore her new shirt to MOPS on Wednesday and then to her Auntie's, who watches her when I am at work. My last words before I left were "please put a bib on her if you give her some of that chocolate ice cream that I know you are hiding from me because I just made that shirt" Okay so that's almost what I said. My poor little sweetie is wanting so bad to run but her tiny feet can't keep up with her brain, or in my language, she lacks neuromuscular coordination (ain't I smart?) and in her quest for speed she apparently fell right on her nose about ten minutes before I came to pick her up! Awwwwww. Good thing I wasn't there - I would have cried more than she did. The shirt that Auntie so carefully kept chocolate free suffered the consequences of a lack of neuromuscular coordination. Oh, and so did Little Bee's nose. So that's how the Amy Butler shirt became the Amy Blooder shirt. Don't tell Amy...

oh hello there...


Yes, it's been a while. Here's what I've been up to. Lots and lots of baby goodies. I'm hoping to do a craft fair or two before Christmas, but to be honest, I've kind of lost steam. I also have an etsy shop with nothing in it. Yay for starting strong. Anyhoo...there are bibs and burpies and changing pads galore all stacked up on the guest bed if you know anyone who needs one!
