Open for business.

Am I kidding? No not exactly. It seems my little idea to be super frugal and make all the Christmas gifts for neices and nephews turned into a roster of items that need sewing or altering for friends and people that I hardly know too. Now I once dreamed of this but never thought that I would actually do anything with the thought.

I don't even have a name for my 'business'. I have almost as many cobwebs hiding in my 'sewing room' as I do fabric.

But this is what I love, and I will try to chase the dream. Plus it gets me home with my kids, something I have wanted for a very long time. It tears me up inside to leave them to go to work. Yes, I have sitters that I adore and take amazing care of my kids, but I should be the one caring for them. They are mine, I am their mom, they need me. I need them.

Anyhow, here are some crafty photos! Things I have recently made. I really should have taken pics of all the Christmas gifts! Oh well ;)

Keke in her *Canadian* dress. Made from oversized beer box shirts. Literally, the t-shirts came from boxes of Canadian beer, and I made them into this dress.


Boo in his remnant jammies. Seriously, this cost under $5 for materials.


Keke modeling a summer dress made from maternity shirts bought at an auction by her Grandpa.


Boo wearing his camo hoodie and pants set that I made for him.


Here is a long sleave T I made for Boo using the neck/chest/back peice of a t-shirt I bought on sale, and the a red t-shirt that was in Larry's drawer never worn. Unfortunatly I did not use ball point needles and the life of this cute shirt was short lived.


Keke modeling a 't-shirt dress'. The kind where you take a t-shirt and sew a skirt to it. Very 80's.


Keke showing her *wings*.


Keke and Boo in their halloween costumes that I made for them.


I made Keke this ruffle skirt using remnants. On it are Boo's fleece mitts lined with some super heavy fake lambskin.


I knit Boo some alpaca socks!
