Picking out fabrics is much like painting to me. Combining colors, patterns, textures makes me feel all inspired and happy inside.
I have vowed to LaLa recently that this summer when she is out of school we are going to sew all kinds of things… aprons (a great starter project), hats and clothes for her bean kitties. Last year during winter break I taught her to use one of my old sewing machines that is fit with a handy speed control (no runaway needles can come after her fingers!).
She was meticulous. I thought she did a wonderful job. It brought back memories of my mother teaching me to sew when I was little. I wasn’t a Barbie fan so I made blankets for my model horses. LaLa could hardly sleep with the excitement of having made pillows for her bean kitties. Too sweet.
Where was I? Back to pillows… can you picture them? Can’t wait to cut and print the designs and get everything over to Birgitte to sew. Stop back and see the finished designs! I’ll be sure to post pics.

What a delightful picture of little La La.
But, what in the world are bean kitties? Have I missed something?
Oh, and love the Aloha rabbit print. My sister-in-law in leaving for Hawaii February 22nd and can’t wait.
