hearts & cats

i have been so busy with life recently, that 'creating' has unfortunately suffered. i would have liked to have more time to sit long streches of time (i.e. a whole day) to think , create, try, fail, try again and succeed. but my delicious baby and husband have been successfully stealing me away from my sewing machine. i have fulfilled all orders though.

the shop is going ok. maybe not as good as i had hoped, but good enough to give me the freedom to be stolen away from any must-do project and enjoy beach-life with the aforementioned delicious family members.

but

i haven't been totally lazy either. i found a fantastic new fabric - brown cotton with white hearts. lovely. i tried to make a sunhat, but even after several rounds of adjusting, it just didn't turn out that well. i blame the pattern. i also made a very cute toddler dress with purple bias tape. i just put it up in the etsy shop.


oh and i also bought my new absolute favorite fabric. it's just totally devine. what am i going sew out of it?
