I had bought some cute St. Patrick's Day fabric a few weeks back--just enough to do an applique--but never got around to doing anything with it. I decided at the very last minute to do Jonah a shirt for him to wear for church (couldn't have anyone pinching him!). I had a plain white shirt that I had planned to put it on, but I had left it in his room and he was napping--so I improvised. I had bought a 4 pack of brand new onesies (the nice Carter's ones) for like $5 at one of the recent consignment sales in his size. I had these in my sewing cabinet. It's been a long time since he's worn a onesie--you could tell because he was in a panic when he couldn't get to his bellybutton--which is his comfort thing that he does--he likes to stick his finger in it. He kept pulling at the onesie trying to get to his bellybutton!
I used the Planet Applique shamrock alphabet applique design--and I left the letter out. I think it turned out great. I love how it added the extra stitching on top of the satin stitch in a different color.
Here's a picture that my little lucky charm actually posed for (kind of):
I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to get to be his Mommy :)
We ate supper at the Wednesday night meal before services so Jonah got to run around in the MPB--and he got to run and play after services. Now I have a child who just does not go to sleep unless he is in his own bed. There are the extremely rare times that he falls asleep in the car--and tonight was one of those. He didn't even wake up when I took him inside and put him on his changing table to get him ready for bed. He played hard--and he was TIRED!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
