Yesterday morning I picked up a package from my mom. In it was all sorts of goodies...
These pretty cotton prints from my Aunt Lil. The one on the left is definitely going to become a
vintage baby dress!
This was a Christmas present from my Dad that just arrived. I love spinning out the holiday gift getting!! I can't wait to make this. It looks so fun.
And my Grandmother's pearls. They were a wedding gift from Grandpa in 1951. They are absolutely gorgeous and will be needing a Jackie O inspired suit to wear with them. I have a great old vintage suit that needs a new lining, so I may start there, but I have such grand ideas...
Then, as if that wasn't enough, our mailbox was stuffed with all sorts of yummies!
My sister knitted these absolutely beautiful socks, but they are a bit too small for her, so she sent them to me. How great is that?!? I'm sorry that they didn't fit her, but hey, I'm all about gorgeous hand-knit socks, especially since I can't knit my own yet.
Myra sent me these completely awesome 70s era patterns that I can't wait to dig into. I love the 50s look, but I also have a not-so-secret love for bell bottoms and crazy floral prints. Mitch thought that the print of the tissue would be a perfect fabric for the top dress and I think so, too! Have you checked out
Myra's Etsy shop? She has some amazing patterns for very reasonable prices.
Last was a big box from
my mom. She sent the tees to go with the Valentine gear that I've been working on for Logan and Myra. Aren't they cute?!?
Here's a closeup of the fun embroidery. How cute is that? Mitch was so relieved that they weren't girly.
I'd better get that skirt done! You'll probably get to see it tomorrow...
