The Imaginative Seamstress

 On Tuesday evening I made the mistake of drinking coffee... and not going to bed. I could have gone to bed, I could have made myself lay down and go to sleep. But then, I could stay up too... so I stayed up and worked on orders. When I was finished working on orders I grabbed the new, black, knit fabric which was laying in a heap on the floor. I pulled out a pattern I'd bought months ago, and made the top I've been dreaming about making. When I finished the knit top, I rummaged through my to do bag. (which is always hanging on the back of my sewing chair) (I should take a picture of this bag, my sister made it and I adore it!)

Two weekends ago I traveled out of town with my inlaws to see more extended family...which is not what I was scheduled to do that weekend at all!

Everyone had a fit over Jubilee, who had just turned a year old.  My Grandmother-in-love enjoyed showing us things she was preparing for a fancy tea party she was apart of. I took a pictures because I loved what she made as party favors! Take a look at these adorable...
