think of a good title


...because I can't.

I can show you what I got made in January though:


Car seat quilt, robot cushion, reindeer cross stitch, Abel the explorer embroidery sampler, sewing case, flower cushion (not blogged apparently but I made it as a gift for a friend's daughter), 2CV zip bag.


In case you missed it, most importantly I went from this:


To having this gorgeous girl:



This afternoon I finished embellishing her brother's old outfit to make it a tiny bit more girly:




The roses pattern is from the Sublime Stitching book

There's so much CUTE here this month. Love the little embroideries, and the embellishment on the baby boy outfit to make Lois pretty is so awesome.

Fabulous upcycling Lucy

Beautiful baby. We had one too...OK his mama lives with us so he is ours and lives in our house along with his two big brothers! Great way to repurpose the cute green and white outfit!

Oh yeah, a monthly recap post. I totally forgot about that. How did we sneak into February so subtly? You got so much done + childbirth, so you win the prize :-D

Sarah Lou said...

How do you do it all? I couldn't even manage to post on Feb 1st! Loving the embellished sleep suit, and of course, Lois is looking gorgeous!
