Just talking

I've taken a bit of a break from jewelry making to get some children's sewing done.  I'm still poking at the wedding jewelry but I have time to get to that. 

This summer has already been busy.  I've just returned from the usual circle trip of Kentucky(kids) to Florida(kids) and back through Kentucky to home.  In the process I was able to go stupid in a few fabric stores and managed to overload my stash.  So many cute fabrics for the grand-daughters and I'm nearly done with a two piece outfit for Austin.

I found some really bright multicolor daisy material and some stripe material in the same colors.  Since Austin's middle name is Daisy I couldn't resist.  The pattern is a wrap style over-dress and a slip style under dress.  The over-dress is the daisy print and the under dress is the stripe.  They can be worn together or as single dresses.  I cut some of the daisy's out of the print and appliqued them to the skirt of the stripe dress just to add a little something extra.

Once I'm totally finished I'll post a picture.

I also got some butterfly print material.  Austin and Emily are both nuts about butterfly's.  I have material to make clothing, hats and booties for new baby and several pieces of material for myself. 

I really don't have time to go to work every day.  Too many projects to complete but I'm happiest when I'm in my basement messing with stuff.

In addition to full time work, hobbies and attending to aging parents, I'm also involved with DAR.  We have several programs planned for this summer and it's keeping me very busy. 

Busy = Happy.

Hope every one has a happy summer.

New project

Austin's outfit will be delivered this week.  I hope she likes it.  Now I'm on to other stuff.

A friend has asked for wedding jewelry.  I'm making several pieces to give her plenty of options.  Lots of crystal in navy and clear with accents of white pearls.  So far two necklaces completed and a bracelet in the works. 

Pictures will be posted when the projects are complete.
