Feb. sewing projects

As our last post of February, I thought I'd share a few of the sewing projects I've been doing lately. Meredith has three pairs of soft shoes now that keep her wee toes warm. My friend, Jeannette sent me a great tutorial on how to make these little shoes - so fun and easy!

Below MJ is modeling one of the polka dot pair. :)

And...a sweet friend of mine has ordered two "owlies" through my etsy shop. So, I've been putting together a custom order for her. There will be others available (like this cute owlie below)... so let me know if you are interested in one of these fine feathered friends. :)

Ollie the Owl Dollie

Last week, at the Dec. 4th craft fair, Sherry and I met several other crafters who wanted to do swaps/bartering with us. It was fun to get to know other people there and to have a trade of wares. We gave one lady a wooden car in exchange of a cloth baby book...and another crafter gave me a lavendar sachet in exchange for a custom order of an owl doll I'd make her later sometime.

So, today I sat down, designed and made a wee owlie...and he became "Ollie the Owl Dollie"

Isn't he cute?!?! I'm sad I have to give him away now....so, I need to make a few more, I think. :) And, these may just start appearing on my etsy shop (beingjane.etsy.com) - if I ever get organized!
