My Mini Me

Good morning and happy weekend to everyone! So an old friend and neighbor I grew up left a comment on my facebook picture of Camryn in the pink Kimono with her arm up saying wow she's a mini Krissy! It felt so nice, because when I gave birth to her she came out the spitting image of Daddy. And all us moms know, all that work and she looks like Daddy :) Thank goodness Daddy is cute!!!! Now pictures of Jacoby are spitting images of Daddy too as he gets older, but Camryn as she grows older, particular pictures of her look like Mommy, and I get to say wow she is my daughter.

Although I should have known anyway by her lovely temper, for instance this morning she is yelling "mommy come here, I need you (all frustrated mind you)" I say "ok Camryn what do you need?" she yells back "I just need you, come here!!!" and I say back " Camryn please tell me what you are doing and I'd be happy to come over and help you" and she yells back "no, not until you come here", finally I yell back "well not until you tell me what your doing." I instantly laughed thinking oh my, is she my daughter, that stubborn trait comes straight from mommy. Her sense of style and crazy color ideas are true to me too, I always loved bright, frilly, fun and girly colors and stuff. (still do, im just an adult now, tear tear) So she is my true daughter through and through! Here is another picture of her dancing around the 12 dancing princess or something alike, with a.ka. Gooey, her cousin Amber, also running around in one of the Kimono Kyoko tops I made her and a princess cape :)









Here is the next Kyoko Kimono top made in 2T, I can't get enough of them and I just had my friend Laura pick up some other great fabrics to make some with yesterday! When Zack gets home from his too long of a business trip tomorrow, he'll be in charge and I'll be sewing hopefully.

I did not want to forget the cobeman this weekend either, so here's a quick "drooly" picture of him. He is always full of smiles.

He sat on my lap this morning while I was reading about Layla Grace getting tons of kisses and squeezes as I read along and that truly touched my heart and could not let go without mention this morning. Her mom of Momi Boutique has shared so much of a life battling journey of her loving, sweet, and treasurable little girl. To read and support to send prayers and thoughts, please see here or by clicking on her picture. It is a truly beautiful and heart warming family, that is now in my prayers and thoughts as well as many others.

My New Love for Kimonos

Here they are,

My newest creation attempt with the super fun Kyoko Pattern by ModKid Boutiques. I saw the pattern pictures and fell in love. And I fell even more in love with it once I made my first Kyoko top. The idea is so cute on little girls, and the ability to use so many color combinations leaves creating these completely fantastic and motivating. I opened up the pattern and Zack was there, looked at me and laughed, no faith whatsoever. But then I made the first one and we both just steared at the Kimono like top for 10 minutes straight in awe that I made it and it was so "dang" cute!

All of the patterns from ModKid Boutque are enticing, and I decided to try one of the more complicating looking ones. I love challenges and since its my first real pattern (I tend to wing creating things on my own) I decided to step up my game and go for it! I am so glad I did too. Its now brought ideas for Asian inspired bday parties for the girls, I can just see it now. 10 little girls running around in Kimonos, slippers, chopsticks in their hair and kneeling on pillows having tea and whatnot. Maybe Camryn will pick Mulan as her favorite princess by her next bday party, hmmm, i know its a long time away, but definitely think its a unique and fun themed bday party idea now. Gotta love Kimonos!

Soon once I put some more together I'll be putting them up in my Etsy Shop.

Plus I need to take some decent pictures, again I need to go out and get a new camera!!!!! My phone isn't doing justice :) but my new craft desk is definitely paying off.

Thanks for all your nice thoughts in my previous post, I really really appreciated them.
