Recent efforts
As promised, here’s a brief update of what’s been on my work table lately. First up was a scarf for me. I had to make mine first so that I would know how to make Alex’s correctly, you see. *cough* I was able to find a good home for my much coveted Heather Ross fabric and incorporate some rich corduroy fabric. I love when I can put favorites together.
Here is the one I’ve started for Alex. Coincidentally, it incorporates some of his favorite fabrics. These are most of the ones we absolutely could not leave the fabric store without. I still need to piece together the back and put it all together, but it’s still 85 degrees here every day, so I guess there isn’t a big hurry.
This one is my favorite. I got a plain hoodie for Alex at Target, but it just needed something extra. I originally thought I would just use a freezer paper stencil to put something on it, but Alex requested an alien and those are just hard to do in a stencil. Then I remembered the awesome book that Heather and Andy got for Alex. As the title states, it’s the true account of the War of the Worlds radio broadcast – in a kid’s version. The illustrations are great and the story is well told. Quite obviously, I was inspired by the cover model. (The one on the left, in case you couldn’t tell for sure…) It hasn’t been cool enough to wear it yet, but I hope Alex likes it. If not, I might have to make one for myself!

Fantastic sweatshirt!
That’s awesome! Love the scarves, and especially love the sweatshirt. I’m sure Alex will adore wearing it once it finally cools off.
Oh my goodness… I have a 10 year old who would LOVE that sweatshirt. Do you have an etsy store I’m missing???
And congratulations on the boy.
love that alien, he’s fab! and congrats on the baby, I guess one of the advantages of blogs is that no-one can see your tummy – in real life I could NEVER have kept it a secret for 20 weeks. hope everything goes well, how are you feeling?
