New Motivation and New Patterns!

So, after a half year break (!) we decided to get back into the blogging mode...
There has been much going on these past eight months, which includes a new baby and a new business.

As for Leila and Ben and patterns, there is a lot happening behind the scenes right now, and hopefully in the next half year we will be able to come out with 4 - 6 new patterns!
We are hoping to post some progress pictures on the blog here.
There will be giveaways of patterns and giveaways of clothing, so stay tuned.

We have also started a facebook page.

For our new patterns we are hoping to go all the way up to size 10, and we are planning to up the sizing on the Sweet Little Dress Pattern to size 10 as well.

This Sweet Little Dress was made using Flora and Fauna by Patty Young. I just love the green!

I used the bloomers pattern from the Amy Butler book 'Little Stitches for Little Ones'. The bloomers look so cute with the Sweet Little Dress! The only thing I would change next time is that I made the dress in a 9 month size, which fit her well, but the 9 months bloomers only fit her once! I do have big babies, but when making a 9 month dress, the bloomers should probably be a size up.

We are hoping to post more ideas and pictures in the future!

I love houses that are aesthetically pleasing yet have room for kids too. So often people sacrifice their personal style to fit kids into their lives when there's really no need to do so.

Here's a few inspirational shots of my favourite kitchen right now - light, bright and airy. I'm absolutely loving the fireplace in the corner! So cozy.
