Less!
I stumbled upon this poem last night as I was surfing the internet for living on less.. I like!
Suburbia Revised
Finally free
from the grasping gasping needingness
of the constant wanting nothingness
of the endless hunting shoppingness
of suburban modern emptiness
My time
is finally mine to give away
Never more to waste away
on the the endless quest for more to pay
to bring home more to throw away
Wanting less and
Needing less and
Finally having more.

Landon's Turning 3
Let's hope Mr. Landon isn't using the internet yet, because I am posting his birthday shirt here. Remember last year's shirt? Landon's 2nd birthday shirt? Well his mama was so sweet to ask me to make him a shirt for good ole' #3. He is a HUGE fan of a small little movie called Cars! Heard of it? I thought so. Well, here are two of the funny characters.. Luigi and Guido. I was nervous on how I was going to make these characters. How did I do it? I printed out coloring book pages and tried to do it exactly like those pages...
See:
And here is the finished product:
Landon also has a new baby sister. Now I had to make something for her. Have I told you how much I love to make girl things? Oy! I love it!
How about a VW bus shirt and a matching skirt? Yes! I know I messed up the windows. I had fused them on before noticing they were upside down. That's one of those moments in crafting where you say.."hmm. oh well!"
Happy birthday Lando! Wish we were there to celebrate!

Vest:pre rainy days
I can't even tell you how many things I have to share with you, but there has been rain every day. I need the outside light for my photographs. It's a hang up of mine.. not much I can do about it!
Before this dreadful rain consumed Ashland, I was able to snap some shots of a recent gift I sent out. This was for my husbands previous boss back in the Bay Area. This is my "go-to" vest pattern. I love how it opens on the sides and at the top. It really makes it so much easier to put it on a little bambino.
Front and back view
Side and top buttons for easy on!
And of course a great lining!
I also made some booties. I have been wanting to make booties for a long time, but haven't until now. I can't wait to make these for my little one! So cute!
Enjoy!
