I was fully prepared to photograph the gorgeous bouquet of vintage millinery flowers I bought at a yard sale this morning, thinking they were a lucky score. What was really lucky was that Jack wanted to "smell da flowers". 
How gorgeous are these photos of my little redheaded boy? I love that he smells things with his lips instead of his nose right now. He came up to me this morning and put his lips on my arm. When I asked what he was doing he replied, "Smelling you mama." Awwww, insert melting mama here.
I did make one of the June 2007 Martha Stewart Living pillowcase totes this week also. Except, I didn't use a pillowcase, I used a Simply Shabby Chic curtain panel and cut it into the shape of a pillowcase and went from there. It came together in about 25 minutes, and it really is cute and easy.And I owe a big thank you to Christy for mentioning my blog on Sew Mama Sew . When I received the e-mail from Beth this morning to let me know my blog was mentioned there that totally rocked my world!
That picture is so sweet. Love the bag, aren't they just so fun and easy??
ReplyDeleteCute photos especially you're darling boy. Congrats on the blog mention as well.
ReplyDeleteCutie little Jack smelling you and the flowers.
ReplyDeleteLove the tote. I am going to make one soon. I have enough pillowcases. (The directions are on her website, too.)
Those are the cutest pictures ever and I mean it!! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try the MS tote. Yours looks great!
adding that pillowcase tote to the list....yours looks great!

ReplyDeleteI remember when you bought that curtain panel! It looks so cute as a bag. I need to go download the instructions so I can make one. Great score on the flowers! Jack is a sweetie. :)

I have been eyeing that purse pattern in Living too! It looks so easy and summery. What a great idea to use fabric instead of a pillow case!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that you can miss with posting a photo of something you thrifted with that lovely red-headed boy of yours!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag. I think that Madeline might like one of those ... the instructions aren't online, are they?
Such sweet photos. Love the bag too!
ReplyDeleteJack is priceless! What a little cutie.
ReplyDeleteI just got my copy of MSL yesterday and haven't gotten to enjoy it much yet. Can't wait to drop DS off at school on Monday....I think I have a date with MSL and a pillowcase!
And you're welcome for the mention. I really do like reading your blog. :)
Ah! That is incredibly sweet...
ReplyDeleteThose pics need a frame! I am going to check out that pillow case pattern!
ReplyDeleteAwwww...what a precious photo of Jack!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the pillowcase bag was easy...I was thinking of trying that one myself :)
D
such a fun tote, getting ready to do one myself, and that jack. could he be a bit sweeter?!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet photos of your little precious one!! Gorgeous tote, also! xo-Melfie
ReplyDeletewhat an enchanting looking bag! I know you'll really enjoy that this summer...
ReplyDeleteand as for "how gorgeous are these photos?" *SO* gorgeous!
:)
Jack is so cute, My fiance Davids son has flame red hair, you will see him on the blog(hes not mine!)
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero for putting the bag together in less than a half hour! I made one yesterday (my FIRST real sewing project!) and it took me all day--but mostly because I had no clue what I was doing and had to keep undoing my mistakes--from not having the machine threaded correctly, breaking the needle once and having to go buy more. Stuff like that. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try to make another one and see how fast I can do it now that I've learned a few things.
