Soon

So far 2010 has brought many changes with it. Most for the good, a few for the frightening, only to turn out to be blessings in disguise, truly the best kind of you ask me!

Soon, this will no longer be the only form of communication with

family...

...that's right sis, come June we're East Coast bound! We're packing up and taking a few extra days on the cross country journey to see a few sites that we might not otherwise get to see. Soon we'll be a car ride from each other and family. Soon we won't have to worry about such things as time differences. Soon we'll be able to celebrate our birthdays together again!

For now packing has started along with the dreams of what will be

soon!

Inspiration...

...for this little beauty...

...came from these little boots!

Little Byrd had an "From Inspiration to Completion" blog post last week where she created the most darling bag from an image she had in her swipe file. Well, Rebekah's post got me to thinking and roaming through my own swipe files when I came across the little pink boots above. They orginally inspired a little raincoat project, but after researching laminated cotton and finding out just how expensive the material is the project was quickly filed to the back of my mind.

Recently went looking for new jackets for the girls and found nothing to my liking.

So out of neccessity, the Little Marisol Jacket was born.

So many ideas are brewing for the Marisol Coat.
Hoping to get it graded up to at least to a girl's size 8 and doing some research into making it a pattern for sale. For now the coat is offered in a toddler's size 2 in our shop.
