A neighbor who has retired from many years of sewing asked if I would like some of her fabric. Although I do not sew, I could not turn down her kind offer. Over the past month she has given me several bags of fabric, buttons, embellishments and lace. To top this off, she generously gave me a digital Bernina sewing machine!
One afternoon this week Maren decided to set up a fabric store. "Maren's Materials and More" is equipped with my old sewing machine, yarn, thread, buttons, ribbons, and lots of free fabric! Maren has invited neighborhood friends to drop by for a visit and shop at her store. If you stay long enough (and if Charlotte is content) you will receive a small doll blanket sewn by me. I made my first blanket today. I'll admit, the stitching was less than perfect. Maren reassured me that I would get better over time.
If you're in need of some cute and not so cute fabric, buttons, or seafoam colored lace, please come by! Store hours are posted below.
As for the method of payment, you will be asked to hold this little sugar muffin for 20 minutes. That way I can clean up the breakfast dishes, take a shower, or vacuum. Charlotte is not at all into napping. I guess there's just too much excitement in the Giles home; she doesn't want to miss out on all the fun.
Smiling at three months, "Charlie" has captured our hearts.

I am SO calling you tomorrow morning!!
I LOVE that you are calling her Charlie! If I ever had a girl... her name would have been Charlie! :) (Named after my mom whose name is Charlene). I think it is the cutest name ever for a little girl! If only the Lord would have blessed me with one... :)
I totally understand about the not sleeping part. Sadie doesn't want to miss out on anything and to top it off she already crawls and pulls up on things at 6 months old. She'll definitley be my earlist baby walking.
If Maren is still available we might want to stop by...
Oh, I just want to hop on over for a little browse through Maren's Materials and More! What a creative 9 year old! AND I am in love with Charlie too! I think her nick name is the cutest thing ever. Miss you! Hope little Charlie starts napping soon....but at least she is happy! :)
Really wish I was in Houston so I could come by! That looks like a cute shop I would enjoy and I am sure 20 min would not be enough for me with Charlie.I absolutely love the nickname.
Love this post! And little Charlie is completely irresistable.
A girl after my own heart!
