Fruits of my labor

It's incredibly enjoyable to see pictures of my friends' pint-sized progeny in general — but pictures of them wearing and/or playing with the clothing or toys I've made for them? Quelle joie!

Here's young Desi Baroz making use of the corduroy snake P and I foisted on him.



The little man apparently enjoys rattling its tail.



Meanwhile, across the ocean, Xan and Eshkol's tiny heartbreaker Ad is shown here sporting his kimono. I used a pattern from Heather Ross' book Weekend Sewing, and fabric from one of her collections. Yes, I have long been crushing on everything Heather Ross.



But, you know, this world of craftiness isn't without its competitive edge. When you make something for someone, you have to be prepared for the other people out there, people with their own thread, needles, ideas, and interestingly textured fabrics.



A cupcake with a pipe-cleaner-stemmed cherry on top. I cannot deny it.Très brillant!

But Desi loves his snake MOST OF ALL!

You are obviously not in full competitive mode, or you would have noticed that underneath Ad's kimono-ed Karate-chop pose is one of the amazing quilts that you made for his older siblings 3 years back.

It is indeed strangely gratifying to see such cool kids enjoying one's handiwork.

yeah, I was just joking, I'm not really competitive about my craftiness. (I'm too busy being competitive about everything else.) But it sure does make me happy Desi's enjoying the snake, and that Ad is learning karate! Also, I'm shocked the quilt hasn't fallen apart yet due to poor craftsmanship. WOW!!
