Proof is in the Pudding Pictures

I have been a blog slacker, I admit it. The last time I posted was, well I can't even remember without looking it up. But, in my defense, I haven't been just sitting around twiddling my thumbs. I have been BUSY. And I have pictures to prove it. So hopefully I'll be forgiven for not being around for awhile. Here's the story. A friend of mine is having twin baby girls and my friend Tracey and I decided to make her some cute hooded towels and one thing turned to another and pretty soon it was way more than hooded towels (though we did those too). It was a good thing I didn't get into it by myself because I seriously couldn't have done all that sewing without Tracey around to chase after Ava quite a bit. So without further ado, here ya go:

The Booties...............why is everything cuter when it's tiny and in pairs?


I posted these before but had to include them again as part of the whole package.

The onesie dress

And the culprit that started the whole project - the hooded towels! It's hard to tell from this picture but they are very shabby chic.......it even said so on the tag.

And then you put it all together and it looks like this: Or this:

So now that that's over I should be back with some regularity at least. And at the request of Marie, in the next week or so I will post the instructions for how I make the hooded towels, even though it's nothing fancy.

YOu are amazing. I wish you lived closer so you could teach me a little about sewing. I struggle with it.

Look at that, what a cute gift. Love it and I agree everything is cuter in twos. Now post the gift it forward on your blog so I can be part of that and then call me right before you hit post so that I'll be able to hop on my computer and be the 1st one. ha ha
