mural phases

 

Baby's nursery

Paddington Bear mural with crib moved out of the way.

Paddington Bear quilt and bumper I sewed for the crib
(inside pack and play until we can get boys' twin beds and take back a converted toddler bed to change back into a crib)

East wall with mural, mobile I made from pattern at craftiness is not optional, and glider with crocheted blanket from my Grandma Moseley.

South wall with toy box, bookshelves and Joey's bird puppet from when e was a kid.

This was quite an awesome find for me. It was listed on Ebay in Rochester, Michigan (I was born in Rochester, NY), made in 1978 (year I was born),and was made by a company called Eden (the name of one of my twins).
Obviously, I had to have it :-)

Since the new year

After the first of the year, I began sewing my butt off.

I made matching suits for the boys and Joey for Kristy and Leon's wedding. Joey's jacket was a complete fail but was able to wear a pre-made one with it that didn't look too bad. I also made my dress and although the boys and I didn't get to party too much because it was an evening wedding, I am still really happy I did it all and am happy with how it turned out.

I have also sold all but one of the car seat covers I supplied to the consignment store and filled a couple special orders and a replacement for the store display that she sold. I have 3 more I am working on and waiting on the final word for details on another special order I am working on. I am much more efficient at it now and have been able work out some of the previous kinks I was experiencing.

 

Aside from sewing, I have also started a new project of restoring an old trunk I got for a steal at a salvage place down the road. I have corresponded with a company that sells replacement parts online and they are going to try to help me identify what kind it is so I correctly restore it. I am really excited about this one!!!

Hopefully it will resemble this in the end...
