Lots More Additions Added To Abby's Attic!

You just have to go take a peek at all the cute new things I have added to Abby's Attic Shop! There are even things in there that Abby never got to wear, such a pity because they are so sweet. She went through a huge growth spurt and it seemed like overnight she jumped 2 sizes! Now, believe it or not she doesn't have a single mama-made thing in her closet that fits her and she is not happy about it. I need to work on that. She has been requesting a maxi-dress and some "pretty summer tops and skirts". With her being so tall now we are extremely limited as to where we can shop and the "one" place that is very popular with the t'weens and teens that you all know what I am talking about, she simply hates. However, we did find a few basics in there that she did agree to, but it's not much. So, I need to dust off the sewing machine and get cracking to make my girl some things that she'll love. However, that means I need to clean out more goodies from her overflowing closet and make room for new pretties. So, pop over there and see all the treasures I have added and let me know if anything sparks your interest.

Unknown said...: My oldest doesn't like those stores either. She likes to dress up and to look nice. It's a shame that stores only cater to "grunge" after a certain age.

Seamstress at Heart

Sewing is one of my true passions. I started when I was just a little girl and I have been addicted ever since. I have many wonderful memories of spending time with both my mother and my grandmother watching them sew and spending endless hours in fabric shops. As a little girl I had a closet full of beautiful dresses all handcrafted by my mother and grandmother. I remember them dressing me up and taking me into the city for tea and luncheons all the time. What wonderful memories.

Now I am a mother and my children are my pride and joy. However, my daughter is somehow special. I always wanted to continue the traditions I grew up with and now I have that opportunity. Abby, who is currently ten, loves to go fabric shopping with me and help me pick out pretty fabrics. She will sit next to me while I sew and happily play with scraps of fabric, my button box, tape measure, and spools of thread for hours. When she was 3, she would go into my stash and pick out a piece of fabric and bring it to me and say.."sewing machine it mommy!" I will treasure these memories forever and I hope that she too will someday learn to love to sew like her mama, grandma and great-grandma.

"What's In A Name..."

I have received a ton of emails from people curious about the name "Olabelhe"! Way back when, when I decided to start a blog and a small business I wanted to have a very special and unique name that people would remember and that meant something! Since my inspiration comes from the most precious thing in my life...my children...I wanted "my name" to somehow reflect them. Hence, the birth of Olabelhe. This made-up word comes from the first 2 letters of all 4 of my children's names. OLiver, ABby, ELliott and HEnry! Pretty clever huh? I just love it and indeed, it works.
