RockChalk!

Today, my friend Mallory brought me some darling KU gear!  She had the tiniest, cutest, KU cheerleader dress/onesie!  I was able to put little Miss Addi's name on the back.  Can't wait to see her in this!

We also put RockChalk! on a car seat blanket.  She is going to add a Jayhawk to complete the project!   

Wrapping up July!

I was so surprised by a mention in a good friend's blog!  Mallory is amazingly clever and proficient at all things- TECHNICAL and otherwise- and this was so sweet of her!  I am so excited for Matt and Mallory to welcome little Addi to their family in December!

I was in Lawrence last week and made a trip to Sarah's Fabrics on Mass Street!  I walked through the door and was amazed and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of lovely fabrics!  I practically heard angels singing!  Erik came to find me and I had to tell him I was STILL  in the first row!  He started looking around and was impressed by the colors and their artistry in display!  

 My projects this week have been a variety!

Can't wait to start the next projects!  I have gotten some really fun little boy prints, submarines, fish, old converse tennies, bicycles, Dr. Seuss, dots, etc., etc.!  I think I have crossed into the fabric collector/hoarder category!  Spread the word!  I love custom orders!  

The special, Over the Top Project!

I was asked to create a burp cloth that could be hung on the nursery wall.  This was to be shower gift and we were in unchartered waters!  Knowing that the mama-to-be was a very gregarious, leopard wearing gal, I knew we had to have animal print and ?  I put together cheetah fabric, chandeliers and leopard gathered ribbon.  The LanaProject!

I wanted to get a burp cloth to a special couple BEFORE they started found out the gender!  Up until last week they referred to the baby as "Sprout!"

....I know Kari enjoyed her cloths that had "Franklin Lucille" and " Hermano" so I thought Mallory and Matt would, too!  Now they know and will be thinking little girl!  So much fun!

Six Shades of Gray!

This week has been the Grayson Project!  Amazingly enough,  two sweet baby boys named Grayson were my focus!

Trucks, Tinkertoy,  Chevron: Pizza,   Multiple Dots: Lemon Grass

I used some different fonts for this name.  It is always interesting how the letters go together, depending on the font. And I love to search for the complimentary combos of fabric patterns and fonts!

New projects!

A special little lady arrived last week and these were made for her!

Sweet pictures!

Lori Wright is a  mom of two darling girls, talented artist and amazing photographer!  

Today she posted some pictures of her sweet new baby and had used my burp cloths as props  in the pictures!  How fun is that?  She gave me permission to use some of the photos on this blog!  I would like to share them!  When Elana's darling big sister is modeling her shirt, I will post those (with permission) too!
