Brrrr!

 It is sooooo cold outside and tomorrow we will have to get up and get going in this weather.  Soooo I thought we needed a little treat to warm us up at school tomorrow.  I had these pink boxes and added some red metallic shreds in the bottom.

 Added in a package of hot chocolate mix and a candy cane to use as a stir.  Made a quick homemade, well sorta homemade, brownie-fudgy bar to eat while sipping our hot chocolate.  The brownie-fudgy bar started with a cake mix and I kinda adlibed since I wasn't about to get out and go to the grocery store.

Then I topped it all off with some Kisses and a couple packs of Sixlets.  Going to school in the cold weather with be a little bit sweeter.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday :)

Towel for Jackson

Design by PlanetApplique

More for Brooklyn

 I'm still working on things for Baby Brooklyn.  I stitched three onesies for her.  This one is Gigi Font which is a double applique with the decorative top stitch.  It from PlanetApplique.

 Curlz in brown and aqua on the onesie and just an initial on the back of the ruffled pants.

 Sweet Tweet Birdie from PlanetApplique, too.  It has the decorative top stitch which is soooo cute.

 The font is All That Jazz from 8 Claws and a Paw.

I have to add her initial to the back of these pants.  A few more things for Brooklyn and then gotta sew for Sloan again.  She needs a few onesies, too.

Sloan & Brooklyn

Just a few things I have been sewing for these two baby girls to arrive soon.  Sewing for girls allows room for lots of embellishments and color choices. 

For Sloan, a pink and white striped receiving blanket.  It was trimmed in green so I stitched her name in that same green.

A hooded towel for Sloan.  I used a heart design from PlanetApplique and added her initials.  The original design had a small lower case initial in the center.  I removed that and added the fancy font initials.....just looks more dainty and feminine.

A regular towel for Brooklyn's big sister.  I used the larger heart and added her initials.  I also added ribbon and a pompom fringe.

Brooklyn's hooded towel.  I love the turquoise fabrics.  These were small pre-cute quilting squares that I bought this summer.  They fit perfectly over the smaller hearts.  The design has a decorative top stitch on the outline which is such a nice touch.  I used white thread top-stitched in turquoise.

These burp cloths were fun to do.  Brooklyn got an Eiffel Tower and Sloan, a fleur de lis.

This design is called Classy Damask Font Frame.  I bought it several months ago when it was on sale and decided to use it for babies.  One in brown and pink and the other in black and pink.  The design is from Embroitique.

A few extras for Sloan.  More baby things to come this week!

Tomorrow is the first day back to work after the wonderful 2 weeks of Christmas vacation.  Good luck to all the teachers who will be in shock when the alarm goes off bright and early in the morning.  Have a great week!
