Happy New Year!!!

G is for GRAHAM

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Troy and I spent all of our time off with family and had a relaxing and wonderful time! We are so blessed with such wonderful families that love us and love the Lord!

These are a few happies for sweet Graham, Rebecca's little one:) I have been determined to learn how to sew pants, shorts, tops, etc. My mother is an excellent seamstress!!! We grew up with beautiful french hand sewn clothes and matching smocked clothes (still not sure when she had time to do it all). She is SO patient with me...so...tonight in about an hour she helped me sew these pants. We used the easiest pattern found here.

A Christmas Break

Just an update to let you know I am no longer taking new orders for 2008. I will start back up after the new year so definitely check back in then! I plan to spend this time dreaming up wonderful ideas for a 'summer line' to be sold at a few home shows and on this blog.

I came across this cute Christmas wish for you. I pray God richly blesses your family this Christmas and draws you close to Him!

A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year.

Merry Christmas! The Gardners

Christmas Fun...

I have had so much fun doing Christmas outfits! Here are some of the latest...

Boy Christmas Tree Romper

Matching Sisters Stocking Outfits

Retro Stocking Turtleneck (6x)

Matching red Christmas trees (I think these are being used for PJ's - pardon the coloring from my camera - the green looks neon but it's really a cute lime green)

Matching Sister Flower Outfits

Big Girl Appliques

As Thanksgiving approaches I was thinking to myself yesterday of the people I am thankful for. One of those people is my dear sister-in-law Kim, Troy's sister. Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago and pulled through like a star! I came across this breast cancer awareness angel and immediately thought of her. She will wear it well! We love you Kim!

This got me thinking of ways I could make myself a cute Christmas shirt (it's so hard to find anything 'holidayish' that isn't from granny's closet!). I think the Christmas tree turned out well:)

My New Favorite...

Isn't this Indian the cutest thing ever! You can change his hair color to match your little ones and change the feather colors to match pants! Cute Frog romper...

Present on ruffle edge shirt

Lucy's Birthday Top! I know she will be precious!

I want to thank so many of you for your orders! You have been so kind! I enjoy hearing your feedback so keep it coming!
