It's a Double Decker!

 The adorable Sam was happy with his Christmas gift.

Apparently (which I had no idea) he is really into buses.
His mom reports that he kept repeating "It's a double-decker!"

And he quickly figured out that the wooden wheels turn. Clever boy!
I hope he has lots of fun with it.

big farm in austin, tx

a customer in Austin sent me this photo of the Big Farm set she made from my pattern. i just love how completely different it is from mine - i really dig some of her fabric choices!
besides reporting that the instructions were easy to follow for a novice seamstress, she said, "It's hard to give it away since my 3yr-old fell in love with each animal while I was making them."
yay!

who doesn't love a chicken?

the very chilly & gray weather here in the northwest has given me the Christmas Crafting Bug just a little early!
here's a new ornament i just designed, called "chicken 'n egg".
i'm offering the sewing pattern for sale in my etsy shop.
i can't wait to get our tree & display her with my other handmade ornaments.
this would be fun as a kitchen decoration too - keeping chickens being such the rage now.
and anyway, who doesn't love a chicken?
xoxo
