Yet again, I'm using both the metric and imperial system of measuring! LOL
Then I decided to make Miss Emily some bibs. This one is a bit out of focus but you get the idea.
Then I took a wild notion to bind the bibs instead of sewing them right sides together and turning like I had with the one above. Remind me not to do that again - it took 3 times longer to make these ones and they're not nearly as tidy. Live and learn!
I've been thinking for a while that I could make some calico pinnies with embroideries on them for selling in the tartan bee so I worked out what I wanted to do and made a start. So far I've made 4 with plans for a few more.
I've made myself a new bag for Singers. I didn't need a new one as the one I made last year is still perfectly good but, when I saw this embroidery, I just knew I had to make it for myself!
I've also embroidered another piece of calico to turn into a shopping bag.
I hope to get it and the pinnies all finished off and listed in the shop soon.
And finally - Debbie sent me a photo today of Miss Emily having her first taste of carrots. I don't think she liked them much! LOL
Aww, Emily! You'll get used to those carrots. What a sweetie, that face is priceless. I loved seeing what you've made lately, Anne. Such a good idea to make up bindings in advance, you'll have them ready when you need them. The bibs are really cute and you're getting so good at the embroidery, everything looks professional. I enjoyed the funny sayings on the aprons, I'm sure it will all sell out quickly in your shop. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer. Debbie has just started giving Emily "solids" so I'm sure there'll be a few funny faces before she decides what she likes. :o)
DeleteOh dear, I hope that's not a lifelong battle with the veggies. She's such a cutie, and growing so fast! What fun things you've been making, I'm sure they'll fly out of the shop and I love that embroidery on your bag, that made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. Emily had butternut squash today and liked it much better than the carrots. I'm sure she'll be fine with carrots soon.
DeleteHaha -- such a cute picture of Baby Emily -- what a little doll. Those embroideries are adorable -- I'll bet those pinnies will fly out of your shop!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna. :o)
DeleteLove the embroideries - I think you are on to a winner with them! Love the photo of Emily - oh the joys of introducing new foods!! I remember hiding scrambled egg in yoghurt for a fussy baby, who now (39 years on) eats anything and everything.
ReplyDeleteI remember renaming foods when the girls were wee. They wouldn't eat "quiche" but they'd eat "egg pie" and so on. Now quiche is one of their favourites! LOL
DeleteLovely makes & binding on small things is much harder than an adult apron or quilt. I do notice that your Emily is wearing one of the bound bibs. I laughed at your reply above, as I didn't know what a quiche was till an adult, as we always called it egg pie when young. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bibs are still useful even though it took me ages to make them. Next time it's back to the easier, quicker way of making them!
DeleteWhat wonderful work Anne, you are so productive!! The slogans on the aprons are especially cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy. :o)
Deletelovely embroideries. Emily's face is a picture, she' really not sure about the carrots is she?
ReplyDeleteLOL No, she really wasn't. She's since had them again - mixed with apple - and, apparently ate them with no funny faces. :o)
DeleteCarrots are awesome - I'll soon set her right! Love the pinnies! Very cute! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beanie! :o)
DeleteAnd the treble bag - genius!
ReplyDeleteAnd so appropriate for me, eh? LOL
DeleteWhat wonderful work! I especially love the pinnies :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki-ann! :o)
