L's Summer Wardrobe #1

Since it's only January, I'm on a mission to make many pieces of clothing for L's summer wardrobe. And I figure if I start now it will be relaxing and not rushed like when you're making something for the season you're already in.

Here it is - Piece #1:
This is from Ottobre 4/2009 #21 "Anemone Stripes" tunic. I modified it to short sleeves and added 3 inches to the length to make it more of a long tunic for over leggings, but L is so tall it doesn't seem like I added 3 inches! This is made from 3 different Chez Ami fabrics, I just love the pears!

Handmade Monday

My little love and I needed a Valentine's Day craft to make, yes it's January but I wanted to put them up and enjoy them! I settled upon these crayon hearts: http://www.marthastewart.com/good-things/crayon-hearts?comments_page=1

Our final result looks nothing like the photo in the instructions but that's okay because L and I had a blast. She loved shredding up her broken crayons and sprinkling them in the waxed paper. Sorry for the dreary photos, as you can see L's yellow room is the only place in the house that isn't dreary this time of year.

We decorated L's door.

Hung a few in the kitchen window.

And hung the rest from the corner of a shelf in by the kitchen table.
