i am so happy to say that i actually did some sewing tonight! {actually, a few nights ago now, its just taken me this long to find time to finish my post!} i guess that list i wrote helped to motivate me, because tonight i was just determined to make something. it also helped that zeffie went to sleep and stayed asleep when i put her down.

she stayed asleep long enough for me to make this:

and this:

the bag is not quite finished. its just a simple tote made out of old jeans from the thrift store, and i want to decorate it a little more. The shirt has a bit more exciting history to it.

we have a little friend, ayla, almost three years old and very sweet with zeffie. they are good buddies, and whenever ayla comes over she likes to look through zeffie's clothes and try them on. of course, zeffie being only 9 months old, most of her clothes do not fit ayla so well.

the last time ayla was at our house, she found these pink butterfly pants that zeffie had recently outgrown, in my give-away pile. she just loved them, so i decided to try to re-purpose them into something she could wear! i'm pretty excited about how they turned out, and can't wait to give them to ayla, cause i think she's love them too. so much fun to turn old clothes into something new!
