No pink stuff today!

I don't sew pink dresses all the time! It's about time I show off my little boy again.

I have made him quite a few raglan sweaters and he loves them.  I blogged about one here and two here and now I'm going to show you two more!

Gaman!

First I want to thank all of you who took the time to read my last blogpost and for all the 

amazing comments - WOW!  

I have gotten some questions on if I plan to start selling some of my creations.  Lately I've been thinking about how I would go about doing that.  I do have a none sewing related job and 4 kids to take care of so I think I would have to base it on special orders.  

I don't have the capacity to sew up whole collections in many sizes and colors.  

Not yet anyway!

My good friend Lena, who is an amazingly talented painter asked me if I could incorporate some of the characters  from her paintings into childrens clothes.  I have been playing around with that idea for some time now, I'm sorry Lena I'm so slow!  Since I have no experience in pattern designing I have been trying out different patterns where the designer allows the sewer to sell items created from the pattern on a small scale.  

So far this is what we have come up with.

We call our project Gaman, which is Icelandic for fun.  A web page is in the makings as well. 

Anita has a new outfit!

Sometimes I have SO many sewing plans but just can't seem to get anything done.
Or at least so it feels but since my last blog post I have sewn I think 5 dresses, two cardigans and some matryoshka bins.

The reason I haven't been blogging recently about my sewing adventures is that I am not liking my photos.  I totally do not understand my camera settings now that I have to take pictures inside due to the colder weather, even though my husband has tried to explain this to me I just can't seem to get it right.  Maybe I should just make him be in charge of the photoshots.  

So I am sorry if the photos you see here are very far from perfect.  

Any tips are welcome!!

Today I'll share with you a Norah dress a pattern by Mouse House Creations and
