Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane
Sweet as sugar with a dash of retro, it's hard not to fall instantly in love with Nicey Jane. What a beautiful way to celebrate spring!
The church flowers totally remind me of my grandmother's sheets. Anyone else?
For sale, size 6-12 months. Click on over to see it's yellow and white polka dot diaper cover. No plain Janes!

Olive in Fortune Cookies
Olive is always a hit at 1st grade pickup. Today she sported fish sunglasses, fleece dog Halloween costume top over sushi dress, jeans, and ladybug boots.
"Does she take requests? I miss the fortune cookie pants."
Wow. Forgotten completely about those. Wonder where they are...
I present Olive in fortune cookie pants, Novemberish, drinking Peppermint tea, and waiting for her big brother.
(And no, I did not make the sweater. I wish! It's Janie and Jack, 2008.)
Simplicity 2928
This was a Christmas gift for my mom. I ran out of time, but would have liked to have worked on the lid a little bit more. Darn thing did not want to sit the way I wanted it to, and you can see the gap in this picture which makes me all itchy crazy. Of course once my mom saw it she declared it perfect and wouldn't let me have it back.
Instead of a pouffy knob of the same fabric I used a vintage button I bought from Lillian Olive on Etsy. Next time I'd change the position of the elastic, pushing it farther off to one side for easier access. I'd also consider making the lid smaller so that it doesn't hang off on all four sides. The overall fit was perfect on a tissue box from Trader Joe's, and the tissues do flow freely through the spout.
VoilĂ , one tea pot tissue box cozy!

Olive in Ducks
Olive doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up, but she does know what she doesn't want to be: my model.
During the last two weeks I have been quite busy, making dresses and taking pictures. Not only have I been making dresses to sell, but some new ones for Olive as well. The minute I hand them over they receive a big baby hug, hanger and all. However, Olive is refusing to be photographed. Unless, that is, you want to see her with cream cheese face, boogers, etc. Yeah, I thought not.
(Hat by Olive's Aunt Mandy. I bought the yarn today to copy her. Isn't she talented?)
