Matthew's first stocking

So while I was at Britex, I found this fabric that is my absolute favorite!! It is a french vintage toile of children playing. I was trying to figure out forever what the heck I could use it for and the other day I came to a wonderful conclusion. I decided to make Matthew's first stocking with it. I lined it with fleece, used the toile as the stocking following the pattern of the stockings Luke and I have and then topped it off with a red gingham. I kind of wish it were a little bigger but it works and although the toile isn't Christmas, it is perfect!

San Francisco

There is a fabric store in San Fran that is unbelieveable. I have it under my favorits. It is called Britex and it is 4 floors of heaven! My mom went there to get fabric for her wedding dress many years ago. My mom, Matthew, and I went there and to high tea. Overall it was a really special day!

Thanksgiving Decorations

So, my mom asked me to make her some decorations for Thanksgiving. I made her two fireplace runners out of silk taffeta and one has a floral embroidery on it. I also made her a silk table runner and 13 napkins. Yes, 13! I will never do that again. Talk about boring! Everything turned out great though for dinner. I wish I had gotten a picture of everything all put down. The china was gorgeous and it was a true testament to "Tutu" (grandma). It would have made her proud! This will forever be her holiday!!
