Busy, busy

For my favorite bold, little knight, I made a green velvet cape with gold satin lining, and an "E" for Enzo (he apparently decided it was equally good for fighting dragons and for floor surfing in the kitchen... I think I may need to add a new disclaimer... ;)

I'm still having fun with the A-line dresses and variations, and I'm hopelessly addicted to cherry prints now. I need to go find some more. I went a little pleat crazy with one for Lakota, but I think it came out darling. I can't wait to see her in it. I added a pocket for Topanga's little girl and toned down the pleats, since she's much smaller.

And this one came in 2s, for 2-year old twins :)

More cape-y goodness

I've only made a handful of baby carriers lately. The one I donated to the Holistic Moms Network for their annual conference seems to have been a big hit, so I made a few more from that gorgeous bamboo/linen blend. It has such a wonderful sheen and softness to it. I really wish I'd saved some of that fabric for me. Oh well. Such is life, and we all know I have enough carriers as it is (but really, what's just one more? :)



The economy seems to be demanding superheros, so most of my work time has been dedicated to creating capes for our little heros, one at a time (or two or three).

Knitting

I've been busy making about as many super capes as I can turn out. Who knew a whim for the holiday bazaar would turn out so popular. I took a break from that though and made a few infant hats -- a friend who had a preemie baby wanted to gift the NICU with a bunch of preemie hats in honor of her son's 1st birthday. So, I've been working on a couple to send to her. Here's my favorite so far, it's bamboo and so, so soft.

Something for Aaron

After making a whole lot of super hero capes and dresses for other kids, I finally got around to making Aaron's Christmas outfit tonight. I think it came out pretty well. The outer fabrics are from Moda's "Merry & Bright" collection and the lining is Michael Miller's organic cotton herringbone, which is unbelievably soft and snugly. I hope he loves it.

Closed tomorrow

My shop will be closed tomorrow in support of Day without a Gay.
