the cutest thing i've made so far, hands down




...and it's for kate!

i am so excited about this little outfit. i love polka-dots and lady bugs, so why not put them together? i was going to do it for next spring, but we are steadily outgrowing most of her things and she needs clothes now! so i made the pants a tad larger so hopefully she will still fit into them next year as well as now until the weather cools off. the best part is...i got the ladybug embroidery design free off of a website and it stitched out perfectly. hopefully i will post pics of kate in her new little outfit tomorrow!

by the way, i had a very productive day today. my mom came by for a few hours to play with kate so i had lots of time to get some things done, especially embroidery. i also had some learning experiences too. i wound up breaking not one but two needles on my machine today by trying to stitch through very heavy material. the second time it happened, part of the needle flew off the machine and hit me just below my eye! wow, i was so thankful it was not worse. now i'm going to be more cautious when the machine is working. but all in all, i had a great day and kate sure loved spending time with her grandmother.
