About A Cup of Cold Water

Please see the "What I Sell" gadget on the sidebar for a list of items! Directions for placing an order are also on the sidebar.

As much as I love to sew, I am taking only a limited number of orders right now. Three children who are 5 and younger demand much of my spare time and so at least for this season in my life, sewing has to wait in line behind the 6 little hands that need me. BUT... I am working little by little to prepare a selection of ready to ship items! Check back soon!
Please do contact me to inquire about a custom order and I will be sure to get back with you quickly to discuss my availibilty.

Bigger Things Pouch





























The Bigger Things Pouch, big sister to the Little Things Pouch, is approximately 5'"x7". This bag is the perfect size to drop in your purse - great for make-up or maybe a notepad and pens (or if you are a mother like me, crayons and snacks!). The ribbon crosses over the front of the bag and it is all held closed by and elastic loop and 2 pretty buttons. Lined with contrasting fabric, it's not only hand but cute... inside and out!


$17 - Bigger Things Pouch

personalize it for $5 more!

Shabby Flower - a 3-in-1 Accessory!




I love this flower and I think you will too! Not only is it cute, but it's very versatile. Barrette, headband accessory, and pin!

Each flower is designed to slide easily onto a headband (as shown in top photo) and also comes ready to wear with your choice of a snap barrette or aligator clip. Use a safety pin to attach it to a jacket, hat, shirt, bag, scarf... so many possibilities!

Each flower measures approximately 3 to 3.5 inches in diameter.

$7

Don't Forget Our Sweet Boys!

I failed to mention in my previous Christmas post that I can most certainly make shirts for our sweet boys!! I am working on some samples but here are descriptions in the meantime...

Rocking horse with a wreath around his neck
Tin Soldier
Truck with a Christmas Tree in the back
Tie Shirts (a t-shirt with a tie applique)

And again, I welcome your suggestions for a custom order. In most cases, prices for custom orders are the same!

Prices for boys' shirts are the same as for girls, noted in post below!

I Loved This Order!









Off in the mail today went this order, all of which is baby shower gift! I love it! She (the gift giver) says that she likes to give gifts that can be used as the years go by instead of things for the baby to use right away. In this order is a Mother/Daughter set made to fit a 4-6 year old, a matching towel and a Pillowcase Dress with Bloomers in size 18 months.
I have to say that I have so enjoyed brainstorming with Dorothy to bring this mother daughter apron set to life. New fabrics, new bird appliques, and even a new apron pattern. And in her honor, I debut this new adult apron - the Dorothy Apron!

Sisters!




Sweet sisters will soon bring these outfits to life with their playful personalities and smiles! A ribbon skirt set for the older and a pillowcase dress for her just-turned-one-year-old sister!




And can I just add that I can't wait for SPRING when my grass is a different color than my fence! Makes for much prettier photos! :)

PillowCase Dress


My take on the ever popular pillowcase dress! A cute design with contrasting fabric peeking out up top, a band/ruffle OR pretty trim work at the bottom and embellished with a yo-yo pin! Falls right around the knee.
Sizes 3m- 18m: $18
Sizes 2T-4T: $25
Add bloomers for $5!
Baby Booties pictured are an item in the works, however if you are intersted, please let me know.

The Ava Dress




Sweet or spunky, vibrant or delicate... your choice of fabric will make this dress a perfect fit for your little girl. Completed with a cute, coordinating pin.

What I love about this dress is how cute it looks over a pair of jeans! My daughter has worn hers through six seasons. First a summer dress. The add tights in the fall. Over a long sleeved tee and jeans under in the winter. With leggings in the spring. And then it's back to summer and repeat, repeat, repeat! The loose fit around the chest allows it to grow easily with your little girl.

Sizes 18 months to 5T - $30

Choice of two fabrics and including a cute removable pin.

Little Things Pouch


The perfect size to fill with treasures and tuck away in your purse! It can easily hold a compact, a tube or two of lipstick, some candy or mints... One can be created to accomodate business cards. Consider it as a pouch to give a small gift or gift card in that is a gift in itself!

$8, pouch alone as pictured top left
$12, pouch alone personalized

I recently gave this as a gift to a dear friend and filled it with little cards with scriptures and prayers for her on them. The cards are not included but shown as an idea. If you would like cards printed, we can discuss options via email!
