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...
