A Baby Blankie!

These days, baby stuff isn't cheap. Here we have a baby blanket that was created for one of my mom's co-worker's who is having a baby in the near future....Let's just hope it's not a boy! But then again you do see a lot of men running around wearing pink polo's though.

Plaids and Upside down Frogs

This is my (Jamie) first attempt at sewing since the 8th grade...For the record I just turned 25 last Saturday, so it's been awhile since I've sat down at the sewing machine.

Here are my frogs all cut out and ready to be sewn...Did not notice that my frogs were upside down.
These are my frogs all sewn up....I realized about 1/2 way through the sewing that the frogs were upside down. Who needs right side up frogs anyway?!

Black and Brown and Green oh my!

These photo's are of the colors that will be available through Little Norway....We've decided on Black, Brown and possibly a Sagey Green color. The photo's themselves are of our kid sized apron's after they've been cut out and haven't really had anything else done to them yet. Keep checking back to see what becomes of these "diamonds in the rough."

The Apron Prototype

This is our adult size apron proto-type. The color is black and there is a strip of pink/black plaid across the top of the apron. The apron itself is not finished yet, it still needs to have the ties added to it but it's almost ready.

Heavy Duty Tote Bag

This is one of our original projects. This is a heavy duty Tote Bag that I've used personally several times. I love this bag because it has not only storage space on the inside but it also has an additonal pocket on the outside for a little extra storage.
