It took me a couple days to get back into the groove of life. Luckily, I still haven't had to go back to work yet so I have some time. I only started sewing again today.
Firstly, my little train-lovin' guy is turning 4 in a couple days! He needs a proper shirt for the occasion, especially since it happens to be National Train Day and the party will be at the train station. Remember when I got this fabric last time I was in NYC?
And while we were in Savannah, I was inspired to make this:
The town has recently been overrun (in a good way) by the Savanna College of Art and Design. They had this store just for the students to sell their art. I was inspired by these pillows, which have hand-embroidered chairs on them (got the ol' wheels turning, that's all I'm sayin'). And I was going to hand-embroider the bicycle, but For whatever reason decided to try machine free-motion embroidering instead. I kinda like it. Of course, it's not in a pillow form or anything at this point - I just got excited to blog about it.
It needs something though...like tassels dangling from the handlebars or a basket with flowers or something. Ideas? Maybe I'll make a few more. It literally took me 10 minutes to make. Gotta love that.
Ok, nap time. Stay dry out there!

OK...love the train shirt! In fact, Makaio wore his "3" shirt today because he said it was "the last day in the whole world that I can wear it". He showed everyone at school.
Love the train shirt (sorry....I peeked)
Makaio wore his "3" shirt today because as he put it: "it is the last day in the world that I can wear it because after tomorrow I won't be 3." She showed everyone at school.
