Getting ready for my first Granddaughter "Meia"

As we've waited so paitently for my first granddaughter, some friends and family got together and decided to bless her gifts.. Abundently of gifts.  It was diffently a "shower of gifts" party. I wanted to share some of the blessings.  My close friends mom helped me decorate with alot of items my grandmother and great grandmother items they made or used in eariler years.
 The center piece for the gift table. Meia's aunt made for her.
 The Shabby Chic DELICOUS cake my cousin made for her. Not only beautiful...
 My wonderful daughter whom is carrying my granddaughter.
My two daughters, My oldest will be down in a few weeks.. I missed her not being there. But she lives out of town.
 One of my WONDERFUL sisters.. If it wasn't for her and her loving heart I don't know what I would do.
 As she opens the AWESOMEST blessings.. The vintage bassent was used by alot of family members, now I think it's not safe to use. But we couldn't part with it.. The blanket inside it was one that my grandmother made.
 There was so many to ADORABLE little outfits.. and abuntance of needs for little Meia.

 I loved the way the little clothesline in the back turned out. It is simply adorable..
 The one and only diaper bag she recieved.. To cute...

 I had to get a picture of this little fellow.. To precious..
 And my little niece.. she is so sweet.
 And a close friend bought this little outfit for me for Meia.. It says Grandma's girl on it.. LOVE IT!!
 This precious little thing won the Clothespin contest of not saying the word "baby".

 This little princess was just plain "too cute"...
 And FINALLY at the end.... of opening ALL her gifts.. a BIG thank you!!
 Now to measure to see whom got the closest to her measurements.. Nykke, her sister standing back watching, got it right on the money.. And she making sure, she is the winner..
 THe great grandmother.. was way off.. That's my mom.. Whom I love dearly..
And I wanted to end it with this AMAZING picture of Meia, when we went to the Dr. on Tuesday.. She weighs 5 pounds 5 oz. Dr. said she sould gain an 1/2 pound a week.. I do hope she isn't going to be as big as Mandy was. Mandy weighted 9lbs 12 oz.

I've gott to get to work.. And Mandy's cousin is gonna come and help her put all the BEAUTIFUL things away and organzie Meia's room..  Hope you have a very BLESSED day..

BUSY....ETSY....SEWING....CREATE-ING.....

I have been so busy.... I created these adorable, simple thank you cards for my daughter's shower gifts. Since she likes elephants, that is what I went with. I thought they turned out so chic and cute.
 more thank you notes for her showers.

 Just a spring dress...to add to my Etsy shop...
 I have fell in love with the color aqua..
 This pattern reminds me of shabby chic, simple life..
 and the daisy that makes me smile dress... very cheerful.. I created this for a customer.
 And some simple burp clothes..








 And these are my newest addition... They can be used as a burp cloth or washcloth.. I created these with my granddaughter in mind.. I love the colors and the shabby chic pink toile.. Simply adorable..
 This was CREATEd for a customer.. One of my favorite designs.
Well, that's all I have to share for now.  I've gotten straighten up my craftroom and cook some supper before my customer comes and before I go to the Women's  Bible Study tonite. We are studying "Made to Crave".. It is really good..  Well, many blessings to you..

Love, Michellee

Fulfilling Orders

I've been pretty busy.. I've had several orders.. I've been trying to fulfill.  A client wanted a girly John Deere Dress, and this is what I came up with.

I was honored when a  Client wanted me to turn her Grandmother crochet pillowcases into heirlooms.  These next three photos are those..


 When I saw this fabric I wanted to see a dress created in it.  And just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
 I have feel in love with the color Aqua. And it's kindof Shabby Chic..
 This reminds me of the Sunshine.. So cheerful... I think I'm going to try to make some bloomers to go with it.
This is what I have been working on.. I have a few more orders to complete and then I'm working on some projects for my daughters baby shower. I'm going to CREATe a Blessings/Advice book for all of love ones to leave a note of encouragement for her..
Many Blessings,
Michellee
