requested for Small Mister

The Tall Short Person went through all the clothes that she had been given for Small Mister and realized that there were very few 18 to 24 months pants.  It is what he is wearing right now but he will be out of them too soon for all of us.  He is growing taller quickly.

I went to one of my favorite fabric stores in the area and put these four pairs of pants together to match the three I made him at Christmas.   We are having to roll the lets up a bit but they are going to last for a bit.  He is eating so much right now I can see him growing again soon.  

When I worked on these, I worked on two quilts.  I am getting all the pieces put together.

a bit of fun for my best friend

I decided my best friend needed a bit of fun in her life.  I decided to play with the nightgown I always make her for Christmas.  I put many yards of ruffles on it but not as many as I thought about.  I thought about putting ruffles all the way to the floor from her hips but I figured she can always cut these off and she would still have a nightgown.

I added some beaded lace, just cause.

Now it just needs to be shipped.  After I finish one more cowl for her!  The newest cowl will have ears.  Like I said, more fun!

pajama pants for the tall short person

I fell over last night after work.  I think I am still fighting the overdoing.  But should I be surprised?  I am still making presents for my loved ones and going to work.  And then there is the thing about my allergies to cedar.  The combination means a lot of sleep.

These pajama pants were a huge hit with the tall short person.

Small Mister really liked them too!  He moved like a Jawa from Star Wars when he wore them this way but he liked wearing them this way a lot!

another modification

I know I originally posted about this nightgown when I made it.  For my Mom again.  When we were there at Thanksgiving, she mentioned the sleeve thing.  I offered to change the bodice on this and put sleeves on it.  Her sister took home the other one I embroidered for her.  I would tease about being a theif in the night but it was breakfast and I went home with two cashmere sweaters.  It was all about repurposing.

Here it is.  It went into the box I sent for my Mom's stocking.  Then I found I missed a few things.  Another stocking box will have to go out after Christmas.

We are off camping.  I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

frustration

Today there was a bit of frustration day.  One of my favorite work dresses had an incident with a chain link fence.  There was a hole in my dress.  Which means that I cannot wear it to work anymore.  I could wear it camping, in the garden, or around the house.  

But I really needed another dress to bicycle in  and skateboard in.  I took a pair of scissors to the skirt and then hemmed it.

I now have another dress to wear on wheels.  I like having short sleeves and the buttons.  I will admit that I will really miss having this color dress for work.  I am looking for linen to replace it.  I already found the wool but I cannot wear wool around here most of the year.  I was looking for the same color for wool for our land.  I was wanting wool the last time we were on our land and did not have it.
