Antique textiles offer so much creative inspiration.\u00c2\u00a0 Suzanne Sawko and I found this elaborate antique bib at the once-in-a-lifetime estate sale<\/a> mentioned in earlier posts.\u00c2\u00a0 It appears to have both machine and hand stitches on a fabric similar to light weight pima broadcloth or a heavy weight Swiss batiste.<\/p>\n

It didn’t take Suzanne long to recreate two exquisite versions in Swiss batiste, one for her niece<\/p>\n

and the other for her nephew.\u00c2\u00a0 Her article in Creative Needle<\/em> gave all the details of her efforts.<\/p>\n

Of course, baby garments and accessories are foremost in my mind these days, because of our new granddaughter, Vivian Rose.<\/p>\n

And because of her and our other grandchildren, there has been not a minute to write a blog post this past week.\u00c2\u00a0 The time was filled with the joyful chaos of 3 children running through the house and in the yard while Vivian Rose slept peacefully through it all.\u00c2\u00a0 Our daughter and her little family had come for four days so we could spend some time together and have a family celebration for Alastair’s 4th birthday.<\/p>\n

With his daddy, Uncle Ryan, Cousin Robert and Granddad,\u00c2\u00a0 Alastair played football in the front yard, an activity that is a regular feature<\/a> of family get-togethers.\u00c2\u00a0 Later,\u00c2\u00a0 Laurel tore herself away from the baby to join them for some fun in the tree house.<\/p>\n

Alastair had already been guest of honor at a zoo party near his home across the state.\u00c2\u00a0 I made 25 jungle themed teepee bags<\/a> for that event.\u00c2\u00a0 They are great for goody bag party favors.<\/p>\n

He asked me to bake a football cake for his birthday. Cousins Robert and Laurel wondered if he could blow out all 4 candles. He did.<\/p><\/div>\n

I had fun dressing Vivian Rose in a few of the outfits I had made her.<\/p>\n

There were several other photo ops of Baby Girl in her pretty new clothes, but before the camera was turned on, she had spit up all over herself.\u00c2\u00a0 I couldn’t count the number of outfits she went through.\u00c2\u00a0 We were down to sleepers in a short while and doing laundry ’round the clock.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist sharing this sweet photo of her tiny pink foot.\u00c2\u00a0 She was lying on the change table just before a clean outfit replaced the milk soiled daygown.\u00c2\u00a0 It even soaked through to her Swiss flannel slip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This has been a fabulous week.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, on to Vivian Rose’s Easter dress.\u00c2\u00a0 Are you\u00c2\u00a0 finished with your Easter sewing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
