I have many loves, one of which is sewing. Nothing gave me more joy than sewing for my little nuggets. It was so therapeutic for me when they were small because it was a very quick, tangible result in a time when there weren't many tangible results while raising small children...those results we reap later...or at least I hope...know what I'm saying??
But all those cliches are true..." cherish every moment" ..."it goes by in a blink"...and so on and so on...
Kai is now 8 and Jet is 6. Kai loves nothing more than dressing herself in clothes that I did not make...=) It bums me a little but there are so many things in the next 10 years I am going to have to say No to that forcing her to wear clothes that I've made for her is just not worth the battle... When I'm honest, I have put a lot of identity in the way my kids dress because it reflects me..or so I think....I know its all right to put your kids in cute clothes if you want but when it becomes an idol or an identity issue then maybe it's worth taking a step back and focusing on the more important things in their lives...like their heart....a novel idea. =) I may just have to deal with not getting props for the clothes Kai is wearing, start making her the clothes and blankets for her insanely small stuffed animals she asks for 5 minutes before we need to walk out the door...and focus more on the kind of human being she is becoming. =)
Kai is unbelievably creative...whimsical...loving...loyal...a little girl of few words most of the time....but when she's on she's on...I look forward to continuing this journey with her as she evolves into the person she was created to be...what a privilege...(and the awesome outfits she comes up with as she dresses herself.) ... =)) ...and lets be honest...she's 8...not 5...I can stop dressing her like Raggedy Ann.
Rabbit trails....sorry. What I'm saying is I'm giving Kai freedom to dress herself...and that means liquidating some of her least favorite pieces taking up space in her closet.
Each piece is handmade by me. I use designer quilting fabrics.... they will all fit a big 4T - some 7 and 8's. Kai is tall for her age so most pants come to about mid calf on her...She has seriously worn each piece 3X at the most...and a few not at all! The prices below the picture include shipping within the United States. Message me on Facebook to exchange paypal accounts as well as shipping address. I will sell it to the first person to respond to me with their paypal account... Please allow 2 weeks for shipment once payment is received...I'm out October 17th - 28th. Feel free to share this post with anyone you think may like this style for their little girl... Thanks!!
100% Sincere and not on my Sarcastic "A" game today,
