Salt Mine is now safe!

Almost hate to jinx it by even mentioning it but the right ear apparently feels like keeping up these days. I've been able to make it into the Salt Mine several times this past week with no ill affect from seeing flashing needles! Thought it was time to check-in with my blog friends to keep my slacker reputation at bay so I'm posting pics of some recent work. When one of my readers noted that I had Mardi Gras fabric she contacted me about a custom order (always open to those!) for THREE outfits. I have the first one completed and the other two are well under way. Taken at night in the Salt Mine so not the best lighting and even worse is the lack of perspective! This is a little 12mos set. She wants the tops dress length so if the weather is warm they can wear it as a dress but ordered matching pants so just in case the weather is cold they can add t-shirts and jeans. Bonus would mean they could wear them as separates and get a couple of days of parades out of the outfits!! This is the last Valentine's Day item I mentioned in earlier posts. It's a 4t dress made from that same fabric as the denim skirt set. It's eBay item #120521914612 and has two more days left to the auction. Just a back view of the dress! Wish I had made the ties a little wider so the bow would be a little more substantial. We are in the midst of a heat wave!! 40's mean lots of melting snow! Just hoping the weathermen are right that it's going to stay in the 40's as a lot of rain is projected as well...I'd rather rain over snow. Optimal would be SUN and 80's but that's a June/July dream around here!
