I've moved again!

If you're here from flickr or some other place that I forgot to change my profile information, I went back to my old blog. You can find recent life stories and pictures of my creations at Elaine and Company.

Nothing much to report lately. Getting some sewing done and getting ready for vacation. We have the late summer boredom, but are loving it.

This is my sweet buddy, Annie, who warms my feet while I'm knitting. She goes on long walks with me (or my hubby) and follows me every where I go. She also loves to have kids climb all over her. She even has her own doggie giggle that she lets out when the kids are playing with her. Isn't she so cute!

recent creations

2+2 blouse by Oliver + S made with Heather Ross' Underwater Sisters and accented with Anna Maria Horner's Filigree.
Custom made Birthday Party Dress by Oliver + S made with Lizzy House's lollipop trees and green stripes.
Hooded cloak from a Debbie Bliss pattern made with Pima cotton. (For my own little Hobbit.)

sooo tired

Sorry about the lack of posting. I'm in that early stage of pregnancy where you just want to sleep all the time! Of course my other 3 little minions will have none of that!

But I fell in love today!! Oliver + S announced their fall patterns! I can't wait to get my hands on those patterns! I'm already searching for the perfect fabric for jackets for all the kids.
