Q-t pie!

Babies are such sweet and adorable Q-T pies!

Joining in with Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday's Q!

I love being able to see any photos of our little grandbaby Q-t pie.

Even after all the photos that our daughter sent us, (and she really does keep us filled and overflowing with sweet images!)  ...I was still constantly asking for photos!

So...or a little bit of time, I tried not to ask each time we talked to our daughter on the phone for her to send a photo or two to my hubby's cell phone. (I dont have a smart phone and can only have a limited number of photos on my cell).

...oh, I do admit that I would send out a little hint or two, like "Oh, what's she wearing today?"

...but then...I have to say...that I just couldn't help it, but I have resorted to asking for pics! :o)

I wish that we lived closer...and one day, we will. But for now...I am so thankful for photos and for the computer, so we can do ichat/imessage.

 Here is our Grandbaby Bunny...The most recent photo of our little miss Q-t pie!

A Q-T pie...whether she is Smiley or Serious!


Here she is a few weeks ago, trying to reach for the quilted numbers that I had sewn for her.


For each of her monthly photos, she is sitting in her pink chair and has a number and her bunny beside her.


 Hm...one of their pups posed in the very same spot!
Hilarious, cuz, this pup posed all by herself! And then sat there until our daughter took this photo!

Bubble Dress...PUMPKIN inspired

Baby clothes are soooo cute! & so fun to make!

About a month ago, my hubby and I found this adorable little Pumpkin beanie at Gymboree. (Love how they have the line of clothing in coordinating sets!)


yessiree! an A.dor.able little hat!  So cute for the fall months ahead...October...November...

 Joining in with Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday's P!
Well, we bought the Pumpkin beanie and in my head, I thought how cute a bubble-type skirt or dress would be to go with it.  Monday, I bought some fabric to match...an orange (with white Polka dots) to match the hat....solid green to match the trim on the hat...and also a dark orange with small herringbone style print.

So yesterday I was off from work and couldn't wait to sew...

...starting with the bodice and sleeves to a basic pattern..

ta-dah! a little Pumpkin-inspired bubble dress.


I wanted to do a different color (fabric) and added the grosgrain belt with the felt flowers (I saw this on a creative blogger's post...but will have to find her link for you)... and also wanted to do the bubble skirt... and wanted to add the grosgrain trim on the bottom.

And...I really LOVE the idea of two in one...so I made this a reversible bubble dress. That way, while she is out socializing and happens to spill some yummy hors'devours n such...no problem, wipe it off and turn it inside out :o)

( I made a reversible dress for Bunny's flower girl dress that she wore for her Auntie's (aka our Girly~Whirly's) wedding in May.


You can see the Polka dot fabric peeking out :o) 

I still have to do the buttons ...well...it may not need them.... But I am excited that it is working out the way I imagined it in my mind.

Shhh! After I make a bib or two to match, I will be sending this out to our grandbaby Bunny! I hope it fits! I'll let you know if it does and when I get some photos of her in it, I will be sure to post them :o)

Updated post: Joining in at Work It Wednesday.

 Our grandbaby girl Bunny in her 5 month photo...sending everyone a sweet hello! (Thank you, dear daughter for using the quilted numbers I had sewn to mark these sweet monthly milestones!)

Lots of things have been happening around our "neck o' the woods"! Crazy busy, but very blessed!

I will be posting more about those happenings, but for now, I wanted to be sure to say hello and thank you to all the wonderful visits. It may be a while longer before I get around to my return Thank you visits, but just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
