A Prettier Life

For me its true that the smallest things make me smile bigger and more often.  I decided my nightstand needed some "prettying up."  Living well is the best revenge!

First Day Gown Delivered to the Woman's Exchange

I delivered my first day gown to the Memphis Woman's Exchange last week.  It really was fun to make and looking forward to making many different designs and some with matching bonnets.  Actually, I'm looking forward to making boy versions.  Everyone who knows me knows I love to sew for boy babies.  You have to be creative with little boy clothing.  This first one though was pink!

Learning From Jeannie Baumeister

A week ago I was fortunate to attend a class by Old Fashion Baby creator, Jeannie Baumeister, in Memphis.  I had a wonderful time but it went by so quickly!  Jeannie taught her new pattern, Baby's First Daygowns.

Jeannie included a photo of my friend, Shirley, and myself on her April 4th blog post, http://oldfashionedbaby.blogspot.com, and generously added a link to my blog.   Thank you, Jeannie.  I'm enjoying the sewing "toys" I bought from you!

I'm back home now and doing my sewing homework.  Practice, practice, practice.  

Thanks to all of you who have contacted me from Jeannie's link.
