Sorry the pics of the skirt on dress form are not ironed my son in law broke my ironning board and I hadn't replaced it yet.

McCalls 6049 Apron for Hailey

My granddaughter Hailey walked in the door this weekend and told me she needed a apron because Mommy had one and she didn't. So she picked this pattern and this adorable Michael Miller Mermaid fabric I've had in the stash for a couple of years. I just recently got the green pin dot from fabric.com. I added a large pocket to the front because little girls always have lots of things to put in pockets. She was so pleased with it and even wanted to take the scraps of fabric home with her. She is so cute. This is McCalls 6049.

My Chirstmas Kitty- Mr. Finnegan

Look at my new baby chocolate siamese kitten. My whole family and my brothers family went together and got me Mr. Finnegan because we lost my little Miss Kitty from kidney disease. We had her for almost 12 years and adopted her as an adult. I usually wait months to replace an animal but having this new kitten a few weeks after losing Miss Kitty was actually very helpful with missing her. He's so fun to watch. He plays/annoys Huckleberry all the time. But he really was missing Miss Kitty so the new kitten helped Huckleberry too. The last picture is of Miss Kitty.

Mother of the Bride Suit

I made a suit with black/white/blue boucle from fabric.com. I was going for a retro look but felt I channeled my inner Aunt Bee. I used Vogue 8123 for the jacket but added a lining. The skirt was an old pattern for a straight skirt which I also added a lining to.
