Just a little note so that I don't feel like I am neglecting my blog site or my faithful blog readers. Now that it is winter time and cold outside and all of my holiday sessions are finished, life seems to have slowed down a little bit. I did promise a newborn session this week, but the date got rearranged due to work schedules and it is re-set for this coming Monday, so check back then for the sneak peek. Anyone ever wonder what I do with my free time when I am not taking pictures? Well, I recently learned to sew! I know, sounds crazy... but it actually is no where near as hard as I thought it would. Now, of course, I am not an expert.... but I thought, how hard can it be to sew my little girl a dress, or to monogram a t-shirt for her to wear without spending the $60-$70 that they are in the store?? I gave it a try, and much to my surprise I made a dress that is wearable!
I am adding some pictures of some of the things that I have made so far... so what have I made - some dresses, a bunch of monogrammed and appliqued shirts, and some burp cloths for my neighbor who is having a baby in January... take a look at some of them -
First, a little Christmas dress that I made for Sydney
this is the lining of the dress, or it could actually be reverisble
this next one is a dress that I made with some fabric I really like, bright fun colors -
it could also be reversible and the inside of it is fun little polka dots -
this next one is a little corduroy jumper that I made for one of my son's friends. I appliqued her initial on the front and then the inside lining of the dress matches the applique
This next dress is one that I did for my neighbors little girl, it was a work in progress in this photo, but since that time has been completed and it turned out really cute
Now for the burp cloth sets - nice colorful fabric on one side, really plush nice cotton chenille on the other side, perfect for a new baby!
So, that's what I have been up to. I will add some photos of the initial applique shirts soon. Of course, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring when we get back outside for pictures without freezing to death and have some good colorful backgrounds. I will be offering a mini-session date in the Spring, just before Easter for everyone that would like to get Easter pictures. It will most likely just be one day, and I will post that date as soon as I know it. If you are interested, go ahead and email me now so I can reserve a spot for you.
Thanks for reading!
