Howdy y'all! We are here in Texas now and slowly getting settled into our new lives. Of course we arrive during one of the worst droughts since the 1950's. The temps have been in the triple digits almost EVERY day that we've been here! And the humidity-yuck!<br />
Well, at least our new house has air conditioning.<br />
<br />
I've been able to do a little sewing and knitting since the move and have a few new items up in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jlchatt">shop</a>. My favorites are these mini first aid kits:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXo13dpaC-L035xHT-WgFcZLM1VA2O4vSjShtuzxYA9qGW7hcvV5cPo17H2kXn_EvN_mbYqQRn8jSWW00mrivXkqjoKb7NGbV3g6LoJBW2fB7HY2__UkDlAEvhZ9We36WZPVMiBUMeIPkG/s1600/P1010990.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXo13dpaC-L035xHT-WgFcZLM1VA2O4vSjShtuzxYA9qGW7hcvV5cPo17H2kXn_EvN_mbYqQRn8jSWW00mrivXkqjoKb7NGbV3g6LoJBW2fB7HY2__UkDlAEvhZ9We36WZPVMiBUMeIPkG/s400/P1010990.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They each come with the first aid supplies shown in the picture, but will definitely hold more! They are small enough to fit in a purse, back pack, diaper bag, etc. </div><br />
I've also knit up some fun flower barrettes:<br />

They have kangaroos (of course), llamas, donkeys, chickens, tortoises, and ring tailed lemurs. J liked looking at the animals, but he would not pet any of them. Maybe next time.<br />

I was blogged about! Check it out at <a href="http://mytaylormade.blogspot.com/2011/06/jack-and-jill-winner.html">My Taylor Made</a>. Shan of My Taylor Made created the cutest Bubble Romper pattern and was having a contest to see who would test it. Well, I was chosen! It took me a little longer than expected to sew it up since J decided that was a good week to be sick, but I did finish it. I wish I could show a picture right now, but I'm not on my own computer. Again, check out the posting <a href="http://mytaylormade.blogspot.com/2011/06/jack-and-jill-winner.html">here</a> and see pictures of my little cuties.<br />
<br />
Oh, if you didn't already know, we are in the process of moving to Texas. Right now I am staying with my parents in Washington (yes, the state) while my hubby packs up the house (isn't he a sweetie). In a week or so he will drive down and together we will embark on the long drive from here to Texas, with 3 little ones. So much fun, so many unexpected "adventures" ahead.<br />
<br />
So, I won't be posting here as often as I'd like, but I will try to keep you updated, show pics of the scenery, tell you what does and doesn't work to keep 3 kids happy and quiet on a week long drive. I also kind of put my etsy shop on semi-vacation mode. That means that the only thing that I have listed is a knitting pattern that can be sent through email. I may try to make some flowers here and post them, we'll see how that goes.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05961155108606068558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354585917304375941.post-82788689273130760312011-06-03T09:00:00.000-08:002011-06-03T09:00:03.930-08:00this moment<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sorry about the fuzzy picture, that girl would not hold still for me. I created my own pattern for this skirt (expect to see it in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jlchatt">my shop</a> soon). It has a ribbed waist and a fun ruffle. I can't remember exactly the name of the yarn but it is from <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/">Knit Picks</a>. It is so soft and I love the color changes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, that was Monday, what shall I work on today?</div>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05961155108606068558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354585917304375941.post-74385648238758637942011-05-03T11:14:00.000-08:002011-05-03T11:14:45.096-08:00Sneak Peek-ClutchThe only time I get to doing any cutting or ironing is at night while the kids are sleeping. Well, I can cut fabric when J is awake, and sometimes he'll let me iron. Most of the time his 3 year old hands are just too curious for me to do any work with hot stuff. Last night I cut out and fused the interfacing on for three new clutches. I really like how this one turned out:<br />

I found this Kanji print fabric at Jo-Ann's the other day and just had to pick some up (for my Japan-loving nephew). I decided to try to make it into a clutch using a pattern by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/keykalou">Keyka Lou</a>. Here it is:<br />

I decided that C needed a cape to wear this spring. Found a great pattern for one at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mytaylormade">My Taylor Made</a>. The pattern didn't specify a size, so I asked and she told me it was for 3-7 year olds. When I told her I was wanting it for my 1 year old, she very generously resized it for me. Then to add to her generosity she not only included the new size, but the original as well! So now C will get a cape made every year until she is 7, maybe! I think she like it, because she was walking around twirling it.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05961155108606068558noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354585917304375941.post-19410526906305152742011-04-25T11:57:00.001-08:002011-04-25T14:56:40.115-08:00Even More OwlsCheck out these new editions to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jlchatt">my shop.</a><br />

These measure 5" X 3.5" and even hold a flip top cell phone. It has a pocket inside large enough to hold credit cards and plenty of space for change, make up, etc. Check it out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jlchatt">here</a>.<br />
