I just had to share these
sweet little bubblegum pink newborn kimono jackets and matching burp
cloths. They came out so cute they make
me think of pretty baby girls all soft and sweet smelling after a bath, brings
back lots of memories.
This is the only time you
will see me making any pink baby clothing or accessories, we found out the new
baby due in October is a BABY BOY! We are over the moon and so excited to be
having our first grandson; he is going to be so spoiled. All of my baby projects will now be the usual
blues and greens with some yellows and oranges thrown into the mix. I guess the little pink jackets and burp cloths
will have to go into a box until the next baby girl comes along. After sewing nothing
but little girl things for the last six years it will be really fun to work
with other colors for little boy projects while still sewing pretty things for
the girls.
Today while picking up the
toy room I realized it is decorated predominately in oranges, greens and pinks
(perfect for little divas). I think I
will need to do a bit of a re-vamp to make it much more gender neutral; oranges
and turquoise blues added into the color scheme should do the trick. More fun projects for me to work on during
the fall and winter months, at least I have time before the baby will be old
enough to play in there, but it is something fun for my creative mind to play
around with until I have time to work in there.
I think it might be time for me to pull out my sketch books and blank
mood boards so I can jot down any ideas that come along in the next couple of
months.
For those of you who read this blog on a regular basis, you may have a noticed a lag in between my posts. I wanted to let you know I am working on
several projects at once which is keeping me away from my writing; I am also
swamped with taking care of a very sick outdoor studio kitty and several family
events all happening this weekend. So far I am keeping my head above water but who knows how things will
go, fingers crossed.
For those of you
who follow the antics of my furry studio helpers please keep good thoughts for
my kitty, Toby, he is very ill and in the cat hospital in pretty bad shape, I
will keep you posted.
As for the rest,
everything else should work out just fine, I have my granddaughters pre-school
graduation, my son’s 30Th Birthday party and a Father’s Day barbecue,
all three days in a row with two of the events in my home and stay over company
for five days as well. Once all this is
over I will be back early next week writing again about some great new projects I did this week. Keep checking in between now
and then in case I get some time to sneak up to my computer and share all the
festivities with you as well as a progress report on Toby.
Thanks for letting me share
my bubblegum pink kimonos with you, be on the lookout for several fun makeover
projects, I can’t wait to show them to you.
See you soon.
Laurette
