Yesterday we decided to make candies. Normally I would have done it my mom’s way of using dipping chocolate and then melting it in the microwave, however the stores were all out. So after a bit of research we decided to use good ole chocolate chips. Mmmmm

I did a trade with my friend Becky. A little confusing since my name is Becky also…it’s the first time I’ve ever really known another Becky. Anyway, she knitted a beautiful sweater for Florence and I made a little pair of pants for her son Jasper.

Florence in her new sweater that Becky knitted.

Detail of the beautiful sweater.

Jasper sporting his new stretch denim pants with elephants at the bottom.

I used the pant pattern from this book and then changed up the pockets and added the elephants to the inside of the pant. Also, designed the elephant pattern and printed it out on fabric paper.

Cute feet!

While I was pregnant I made all sorts of things for my little girl.

I printed out one of my designs on fabric and made it into a softy to hang over her crib.

Here’s another.

And finally the mushrooms.

A little friend David named Theodora.

And a set of embroidered linen softies.

A green linen dress.

And my favorite the rain dress, which she is already too big for!

I’ve quit my full-time job to take care of my little girl, freelance and design for myself. I’ve been in the corporate business world for 12 years and am now get to stay at home in my pj’s, if i want. So goodbye high heels and mascara hello fabric and slippers!
