The Cost of Cuteness
My mother asked me to make an outfit for a friend of hers who has yet to deliver a little girl. She wanted a skirt and shirt set for the baby to wear next spring. I feel in love with Robert Kauffman’s “sweet confections” cupcakes and decided it would be perfect for the project. I have enough left over for a lounge set or another skirt set if anyone is interested, leave a comment or email me.
Thanks to Sarah for measuring her sweet little nearly 6 month old baby, so I could get the size right!
and on the backside?
I’ve been rather productive in the creative department this week. I want you to understand though, that it all comes at a cost. This is my laundry room…all of those clothes….are clean….
the cost of creativity can be steep sometimes.
p.s. I loving these Hoops & Yoyo videos over at youtube- they are actual greeting cards that you can send to people. I sent my husband this one (i have no shame) and I think this one is my favorite. Oh, they crack me up!!

The cost of my creativity usually comes in the form of not sleeping. It’s horrible.

That is soooo cute. I almost wish I had a baby now so I could dress her in that and take her to my friend’s cupcake shop. Would it be pathetic if I wanted one to hang onto for “someday”?
(If I did that, I would probably never have a baby girl.)

I love that you post EVERYDAY. You sew, post, bake, take care of the kiddos, take pics (and post them!) I wouldn’t worry about the laundry. I don’t seem to get it all done and I don’t do half of what you get accomplished. You go!!

Very cute. IF I ever have a girl, I want one but I might have to just give it to a niece or close family friend.
I am not being creative these days and I have clean clothes in the dryer (going on day 2) that might be there for a couple more days.
My oldest was loving the Hoops & YoYo. Thanks for sharing, I shared the date one with Bryan.

So cute! What is the little cupcake on the shirt? (I mean embroidred {sp?}, an iron on?) It is an adorable little set!
And my laundry room looks like that ALL the time. I have no excuse! Folding clothes is my least favorite chore. i have no problem sorting them and washing them, but folding them? Forget it!
Thanks for sharing.
