Despite my ever growing “To-Do” list, I took some time out for my daughter today.  I felt it prudent that she have a ric rac head band.

(she is gnawing on the pink plastic camera she got at the dentist office)  I measured her head- 20″ (not too far off her circumference at birth- my kids have unusually large heads at birth), cut some ric rac at 18″ and a piece of 1″ wide elastic at 1.5″.  Stitch ends of ric rac to ends of elastic-voila, new hair accessory!  I’m thinking it would also be cute with 2 strands of ric rac, you could seperate them on the head for a layered look.

a little detail of something that is on it’s way to Sarah.

son:”Mom, what is a nightgown?”
me: “a dress that little girls sleep in.”

Before I get started on a quilt for Karin I thought I’d get a little sewing done for my daughter.  It has been so dreadfully hot here (par for the course) that I decided she needed something light to sleep in.  You might remember this fabric from a blanket I made for my sil awhile back.  I had a yard and a few inches left and decided it would make a beautiful summer nightgown.

I’m making view #3 minus the collar.  I bought this pattern at a sidewalk sale years ago when I was in college

I need help picking a design. I am really leaning towards #4. Please tell me which one you like/don’t like and why.

just a quick pop in to tell you to check out this awesome scarf made by Ric Rac out of fabric selvage.  Isn’t that just the coolest?!  Also love the key ring!
