Ooh! BeBe! A beautiful mademoiselle is on her way!

These were the words on a recent baby shower invitation that I received. I immediately thought of some cute Paris themed fabric I had seen: Vive La France by Monoluna for Robert Kaufman fabric. It has the sweetest Parisian pictures on it. I ended up using it for two baby showers because a friend needed a shower gift too.

Reverse applique Eiffel Tower by Planet Applique and Curlz font.

 

 

 

Sweet ruffle pants with bow accents.

Here is the other set. Because we don't know the baby's name, I decided to embroider "amour" over the Eiffel Tower. shown here with a pair of ruffle pants and a sweet little cardigan that has raggy flowers sewn on. (I don't know how to turn this picture-if you do please comment below!)

A matching bib and burp cloth were also included.

And because this post has a French theme-I thought I would add in a picture of my new Ballerina Crayon Roll!

Rearranged the kitchen a little. Removed a cabinet door to display dishes. Idea from Better Homes & Gardens.

Erica made Pineapple Upside Cake for dessert.

Gorgeous fabric I won-Sweet  Lush by Patty Young for Michael Miller. Deciding what to sew with it.

Christmas....A Little Late this Year.

This post goes along with the picture of the post below.
Well, I finally got a Christmas card ordered!  Note the date: December 27. I like to send picture cards and we were not all together until Christmas this year. I usually try and get a picture at Thanksgiving. But Andy was in Arizona visiting family. I made sure that we got a picture when we got home from church on Christmas Sunday-- before we ran off to my Mom's house. Luckily, Alissa knows how to set up the timer on my camera! I thought the picture was pretty good for a spur of the moment job. I was impressed with the selection of cards that share the true meaning of Christmas at Shutterfly. I ordered a few of the below style and more of another style (because of cost). I also ordered a book of our vacation that we took last May in Myrtle Beach.  Mmm...I am seeing a pattern here. Procrastination. At least I still remembered our vacation to write about it :)  So....Merry Christmas (a little late)!
