just a little bit of pixie dust...

So pure...so innocent...so angelic...

Haha!  As soon as Le Challenge theme was announced for May I knew what I had to be done...and damnit I just got the cojones to start sewing on knits so clearly it was meant to be!

I know this isn't an original idea (I've seen store bought shirts with little wings on them, shrug)...but hell who cares...it is too CUTE!  

In typical MRL fashion it is the night before we leave on vacation and here I am making these wings and taking these photos.  Honestly drawing, ironing, cutting, and sewing the wings took less time than it did to write this post!  Hence the Instagram shots, let's face facts, using the phone is just easier than finding the camera amidst all the packing!

I promise I will take a photo of Miss O wearing her new shirt.  I'm planning on putting it on her for her first plane ride, a flying angel.  Ha!

I will do my best to link up via smartphone (or email Lucy or Nat to do so for me???)

Go check out all the wing inspired entries!

Singer AF308467

Look what was sitting in my basement...

Anyone know anything about this model of the Singer?  I am going to contact the company with this manufacturing code (I think it was built in 1940) to find out more...

Giveaway Day Winner!!!

The winner of the 1 yard of Flannel Owl Friends is...

And then I did some serious laughing when I saw who won!  Hahahahaa...

Annabella of Life's Rich Pattern is one of my all time fav bloggers and someone I consider a virtual friend.  As she also participated in the giveaway I am glad she is getting her own surprise...although...what you will do with flannel in Morocco is beyond me...  But knowing Annabella, it will find a good project to go in!

Happy Mother's Day to all my American Readers!!!
