Adorable!

I absolutely love vintage things!
This little dress is so sweet and I love it!
I found it on Etsy at Chew Chew's Closet. Isn't it cute, darling and fun?
I am wishing I could get this for my Jewels but she is probably to big for it!
She is a 18 and 24 mth sizes now! I can't believe she is so big now!

Taking inventory!

In an attempt to find a spool of thread in the color I needed I cleaned out my thread box and tidied up. Then a whim came to me. Take a picture with me when I am shopping and then I won't buy multiples of the same colors over and over. Which if you look closer you can see I have already done this! LOL! Now if I can get a bobbin for each and somehow keep them together, so I can find what I need quickly!
Do we ever stop and freeze a moment in progress?
Well, now I have. In the midst of looking for thread and sewing a dress for my eldest daughter I have pictures. Pictures of thread, and one of my sewing machines. I spy my pink pin cushion, a great sewing machine, a blue pen and a purple pen, a rubber stamp, a cutting mat, a pattern piece (one I traced onto tissue), a tissue box (sewing always makes me sneeze, I guess it's the lint), a turquoise dress in progress (dotted swiss from my grandmothers closet!), and more thread! How FUN!

Halloween

It is time to taste cider and candy corn.
Sketch up a costume and bring it to life!
Sew and paint and decorate!
Happy Halloween!

Pillow

Cute Peek a Boo Pillow at my Etsy Shop LittleDarlynGirl. With darling floral prints in lavender, yellow, robins egg blue, and pink, this pillow is so feminine! Place your little one on her tummy in front of this pillow and play Peek a Boo together.
I love making these sweet faces too!

My new Etsy shop

I finally did it! I have my own Etsy shop!
Little Darlyn Girl
I had to learn a lot about my computer and figure out different programs and such.
Lots of time on the phone, thanks L.J.!
Plus all the time and energy sewing and picking out what I really wanted to do!
So check it out!
So far I only have a couple things listed. My Peek a Boo Book, Loop Lovey, and Peek a Boo Block Toy.
Let me know what you think!

Creating Treasures

I love darling hand created gifts for babies and children!

I also love to make them myself. At baby showers and Christmas parties , I have received compliments and comments like "you should sell these"

SO! I have been sewing up a storm!





I-really want to have a stash of things ready for a crafting boutique on the net!
Little Peek a Boo Books and blankie sets, crotched snugglies, and sweet things to treasure.

So here I am going to give the internet crafting world a tryout.
Hopefully my creations are loved by somebody and their baby!
That they go happily home to them, is my wish for each piece I work on.

Tell me what you think and what thoughts you have about my little collection.
