Happy Holidays!

Perhaps because I have been staying up all hours of the night sewing, or perhaps because any moment in which I am not nursing or holding my youngest baby I am at my sewing machine.  Whatever the reason, and there are many possibilities here, my husband has taken to calling me "Stitches."  I have not been posting as much here because I am not really sure that anyone reads this and I have been sewing up a storm.  Thankfully, my little business is doing fairly well.  This has helped tremendously in terms of our Christmas.  I do appreciate all my customers SO much!

For my own family, I have been sewing as many gifts as I can.  I can't show them here because, well, I guess they might check my blog on occasion.  However, I have to show off this little set I made for my niece.  It is not quite done - I have to make an applique tee to match.  The pieces I have completed so far are so sweet, though.  I will be making another one of these for my own daughter and will likely add the items to my etsy shop in case anyone else out there is interested.

Goats!!!

I can't really say why I love these little goats so much.  Maybe it's because they remind me of my childhood fascination with Hello Kitty.  Whatever the reason, I find it a bit funny that these are the only "kids" I will be adding to my family.

Mixing different prints and making a soft and safe toy is fun, and the pattern is really easy to make.  I purcahsed it from a seller on Etsy.  There is a bit of a learning curve to these for me because I have never free hand embroidered little faces like this, so please don't look too closely at them.  It's my first time stuffing goat arms and legs, too.
