2:00 am And Sewing Away!

Are you ever lying in bed in the wee hours feeling like you have such a great idea you can't go to sleep until you try it? Well, I'm there.  I'm taking a little break - hunched over my keyboard to give my back a short rest from being hunched over my sewing machine.... hmmmmm

I've been mulling over many design possibilities in my head.  Mostly for little girls, some for little boys.  Since I don't have a boy myself, I'm always a little afraid I will create a boy set that looks too girlie... but I think I may have solved that problem temporarily... But I digress.   I have an idea for accessories to my outfits that I haven't seen done quite this way in children's boutique clothing on eBay or Etsy.  I've been quietly "lurking" to check.  I got the idea from my old high school band days.  Yep, I was as marching-band geek as they come, baby.  Oh boy, the hot wool uniforms we wore to parades in the heat of summer... I loved it.   Weird, huh? 

Well, even though our band uniforms didn't have these particular accouterments I always noticed other band geeks that did.  I scoured second hand and vintage shops looking for these items for yeeeaaaarrrrrs afterward.  Now that I know how to sew, I can't believe I didn't think of them sooner!  Forget the fact that it's been eeeehhhhhemmmm... 20+ years since my marching days.... Well I sure hope someone out there likes these accessories besides me!  We'll see tomorrow.  I am excited to be a featured guest for Fairycakes "Safari Glam" launch starting the 11th on eBay.

To abruptly change the subject, I have a beautiful little plant from Chile which has the most gorgeous and unique little flowers on it starting to bloom.  Can't wait to post pics of it.  The rain is supposed to stop tomorrow, so I can sneak some shots in when I'm photographing Sofie in my new outfits!
