BigBrothersaurus & BabyBrothersaurus

Jameson has a new baby brother and I wanted a special gift for both of them.

Welcome Quinn!

Here's To You Mrs. Robinson

I finished them all!  I really enjoyed doing these for the Future Mrs. Robinson.  I know they will have a fun filled Spa Day wearing their matching tanks.

I've still got lots of threads to clip but wanted you to see how hard I've been working :)

There is a story behind this one for the Groom's little girl but I'm not telling :)

Mrs. Robinson also wanted a jacket to wear on her wedding day while getting her hair and make-up done.  Her wedding colors are navy, lime green, aqua and a hint of tangerine.  This thread is navy and I chose lime green for a smaller fleur de lis.  I stressed over the jacket deciding on colors to use and fleur de lis or not. 

Up close....don't look at all my threads that still need clipping.  I was wondering if I renewed my wedding vows could I get some shirts for a spa day and a jacket like this one?  Wouldn't that be fun?  Don't think it will happen.....just sounds like soooo much fun.

This is the front of her jacket. Thanks, Jessica for letting me do these things for your special day.  It was fun.  Your engagement pictures are BEAUTIFUL so I know you'll be a gorgeous bride.

Best Wishes

XOXO

Bee Mine

I took a break from sewing Bridesmaids tanks to sew a little something for Sloan.  I changed this design quite a bit.  It had one wing and I added another.  I turned it in the opposite direction and left off the eyes and mouth.

I added 3 rows of ribbon that I ruffled on my machine.

I'm really liking yellow and black right now. 

Bridesmaids Tanks

Jessica, a long-time friend of my children is getting married next month in New Orleans. She asked me to monogram some fun things for her bridesmaids, maid of honor, mom and herself.  Sewing for special occasions always scares me.  I would hate to mess up something special and this assignment really made me nervous.  Jessica and her wedding attendants will have a spa day prior to the big day and she wanted some matching tanks for them to wear.  All she asked was that I use black and white and maybe a fleur de lis.  I stressed over what to design and almost used something else when I went back to another idea....this is what I finally settled on. 

Instead of putting the fleur de lis directly onto the shirt I put it on a circle.  I almost used black & white gingham for the circle knowing that it really wasn't the best fabric for a young bride-to-be & her bridesmaids.  My daughter intervened and told me to use a black & white polka dot.

So 2 are done and 5 more to go.

And...... Happy Easter from Grayson and all of us.  I hope your holiday weekend was wonderful.

God truly blessed us with a wonderful one!
