Robes are awesome.

Are you ready for this? I sewed a robe for myself- Mum of course supervised the process heavily- BUT I cut it out and read the instructions and only had a few issues. 

 Mum's had this pattern forever... hopefully she will comment and tell us which it is because I can't remember, this is the 3rd robe made from the pattern. The fabric is Michael Miller Etta in Cinnamon which was purchased super cheap on Fabric.com forever ago.

 And if someone else was on top of showing you the thing that they sewed you would see that I am actually a copy cat and I only decided to make one after someone else made theirs first. 

 Mum and I really shouldn't be allowed to take pictures of each other in questionable clothing... we tend to get goofy

Or is it that I can't translate directions into facial expressions on cue... it could go either way 

All I know is it ended in her making fun of me. 

Etsy Announcement

It took me forever but I have finally consolidated our shops into one. So from now on you can find us at CreatedBlissfully.etsy.com

Gift Bag Alternative

I love this bag that Mum made for Micah's blocks, it's so convenient and adorable. So when I wanted to get a little friend something she could play with while she stayed at our house for a few days I figured what better way to gift wrap it and give her a way to keep the toys pieces together. 

The drawstring is Grosgrain ribbon I had on hand. And the fabric is Parisville by Tula Pink.

Leather Shoes

While still in Germany, dreaming of what being a gramma would be like, I bought these shoes. I hoped Jess and Micah would like them. They were such a popular style but I didn't know any new walkers who were using them. They are amazing. It's hard to tell but Micah almost wore these out, before he out grew them. 

He wore them everywhere. 

I had some leather left over from a few projects and brow-beaten urged on by Jess decided to make a pair.

He wore them out and then he lost one.

This is the second pair.

For some reason he likes to carry his shoes when he is not wearing them. One day he carried a pair all over the back yard. 

He also tried to put my shoes away one day. 

He put them in his gramps closet.

Gramps may have thought it was a plot initiated by me to take over his closet. 

I love seeing people I love wearing things I've made them.

Look at all that chubbiness.
