Did you know that many of my customers are hand-me-downs? When my dear friend Amy Pratt of That's Mine! Monogramming left her business to return to full-time teaching a few years ago, she started sending me customers. Here we are, three years later, and they are still coming. And I love it!
This week Amy sent me Elaine W and her two daughters who had an adorable project idea. They came armed with bags, trim and ideas. The photos show what emerged from the factory. Cute, huh? 
Also, in the ongoing saga of my crazy family. My youngest son, who I was so proud to announce was potty trained, made his mark on our new house last week. He somehow managed to overflow the master bathroom toilet and let it run for about 30 minutes while I was upstairs sewing and I thought he was innocently watching a movie downstairs! Finally he came to me and said, "Mommy, there's something in your bathroom!"
One of my manufacturers has come up with so many cute new things in the last year, I've hardly been able to keep up. Here are two things I sent out this week that are so cute!
Next up is a great gift for any girl - from 2 to 92! Oh Mint (sweet little things) has also come out with new minky wraps. They are super-cute, super-soft and available in lots of super-adorable trims. This one is their hot pink polka style. Too cute!
I've always wanted to do this and today I tried it out for the first time. I took a really cool picture my little friend Luke drew of his favorite movie characters (recognize any?), I removed some of the picture and focused on his favorite character: Darth Vader! I digitized the image and came up with a great design for a 5-year-old boy to wear on a t-shirt. I'm going to have him write "Star Wars" in his own handwriting and I'll add that soon too. It's going to look so cool!
What else have I been doing? Sewing, actually! I've been especially busy since the move. Everyone is getting ready for back to school. And it seems lots of families are adding summer babies! I made this cute burp cloth for a little boy destined for Waco. Mom and Dad are both Baylor alum and their friend wanted to make sure little Cooper knew where he was headed.
Another huge accomplishment...I now have no diapers in my house! Yes, the littlest So N So is potty trained! Just look at how proud he is! He was well over three when we finally got there and it couldn't have come a day sooner! When we bought the last package of diapers I said "This is the last time I'm buying these." He said, "Mommy, you so funny."
