Back in the game...

I have been totally out of the picture for some time now... Sorry about that... Life happens!!

Well... For one thing, I have to admit that I have been working on some things - just havent had the time to document! :)

I have a good friend that's dear to my heart who has an incredible talent... She has helped me create some wonderful patterns for baby boys (finally!). I had never done this type of work, but I am loving it way too much!!!

In Puerto Rico men use what they call "guayabera". Its a linen shirt with vertical pleats and pockets... so, using this theme we created a baby guayabera - I think its adorable!! Its made in irish linen ("estopilla") with tiny pleats and vertical designs. To make the set, we created some shorts to go with it. Check it out...

Here's the set...

We also worked on some "bombacho" shorts which are some baggy-baby-trousers/shorts... these are my favorite!! We also added a different shirt to go with this one which closes in the back side and added a cute embroidery in the front. Used a baby blue irish linen for this one... Here's what it looks like...

Here's the set...

So, just a quick update... I do have a lot more to share... but I will pace myself this time... THANKS a bunch for checking out my creations... it means so much to me.

Have a wonderful week! ...K
