First Project of 2009


It wasn't a sewing project, but my first project in 2009 nevertheless. I started these booties in December, hoping to finish them for a Christmas gift for Jaidyn, but I didn't complete them until yesterday. So, Jessica--consider these a late Christmas gift. :) I have also started a second identical pair which I plan to list on Etsy along with the light pink bunting pictured below.

This bunting I made Jaidyn is from a discontinuted Kwik Sew pattern. I made two, and Jessica chose the dark pink one. As you can see in the photo, the bunting is too big on Jaidyn. The pattern is sized for newborn to 3 month old babies, and there is a lot of growing room.

Isn't Jaidyn Marie the sweetest baby you've ever seen?!! Ooh, the grandma in me is coming out. I tell you, though, it is ever so nice to have a little baby to sew for again!

I also wanted to let you know that my blog address has changed, I noticed that you had my old blog listed on your blogroll, and thought you might like to change it.

  11. The baby is beautiful! Do you know what her name means? I looked up all the names of the kids in my Sunday School class; they got a big kick out of it.
    One of the little girls was named 'Jaden'. The spelling is different, but it means 'heard of God'. I thought that was pretty cool.
