Time is winding down for me and little Miss Avonlea "something-or-other". I'll be closing my Etsy dress shop for a couple of weeks starting August 18th so I can get my house in order and then after she's here...... I can have the time to heal and get to know her better.
I've been working on a some new pinafore's to add to my shop for the cooler months........ great little tops, dresses or tunic's that can be worn with or without a shirt beneath. I adore them....... I get more compliments on these than any other garment my girl wears! I think it must be the ribbons & ruflles!
I took these pictures this morning while fighting off two very stupid dogs, who haven't a clue as to what, "Go lay down" means. Or, "Leave the damn cat alone!"
Or, "Get out of the pool you stupids!"
I think I may write a little somethin' somthin' about our trials with these two dogs.......... Hey, maybe a dog giveaway will be in order. I wonder if I could fit them into a box........ hmmmmmm?!

I've also been busy making a few things for the baby ....... nothing too fancy that's for sure, but definitely enough to fill that feeling of needing to make something just for her. One would think I've been steadily making and preparing for this sweet baby but .......... I'm ashamed to say that I haven't! I've spent so much time making dresses for the shop that the great baby items I've planned in my mind have been set aside. Sigh.
So, I've planned to use the weekends to do this. Last weekend I made the diaper bag......... it's so yummy too! I also finished up on a quick batch of burp cloths by using some of my favorite fabrics. This weekend......... I plan on either making her some sweet little baby shoes using one of these three tutorials or maybe just getting some more of their quilts done. We'll see.
I'll be back tomorrow with the diaper bag and burp cloths....... after all, this is supposed to be a crafting & sewing blog right? Good grief!
Have a great day.... Amelia Claire and I get our hair trimmed tonight, I hope I fit into the chair! Ugh!
