About Me

My Photo
I'm a diaper-changing, swing-pushing, story-telling Mama with a creative streak and a nurturing spirit. I like growing food and flowers (and people, hehe), sewing clothes and quilts, cooking and eating and running, a long, tight hug and the color yellow. I love date nights at home, spontaneous trips to the bookstore and hearing my babies laugh. I am indecisive, exaggerative and I overuse parentheses. I am reflective and sentimental and quick to laugh. I think I still picture myself as a 22-year old, yet every year my life gets more fulfilling. I am still figuring out exactly who I am. :)

A Coat! I Made a Coat!

Friends, I would be lying if I said I wasn't proud of this. :)

This was my test-run for the three wool coats I am making for my three favorite little people later this month.

I used fabric I already had, which is awesome!!
You know, making room for more fabric. :)

This one is for Lulu, and I love how it is sort of dressy and sophisticated with the black and white houndstooth.

Then, tada!!
Yellow gingham lining!!

The back- I love the hood!

It is fully lined which makes it really comfortable to wear, especially since the outer fabric is somewhat scratchy.




Blow kisses!

Running at the camera... :)


Coming to a frame near you... :)


YAY!!

LOVE the jacket, and of course my lulu-belle :)

Can I have one now, please?!

hehe, totally! I've been searching for a pattern for myself, actually. Unfortunately, women's coats are much more difficult than kids' because of fitting our bodies. Someday, someday!!
