baby
My mom, who loves babies, taught me to sew before I even knew I was learning. She made us almost all of our clothes when we were growing up. She's part of a local sewing group that makes clothes for premature babies, and she sews mittens out of fulled wool for the homeless shelter in our parish. Sewing, for her, I think, is a tangible way to express care.

But she's never been driven to make things to sell. I pushed her, earlier this summer, to make twelve dresses to sell on my site--not only for the extra money, which is always nice, but for the challenge, and for the boost in self-confidence you feel when someone likes your things enough to pay for them.

Before she could finish the dresses, she had an aneurysm in her cerebellum. Two friends helped me, and now I'm putting a few of them up for sale here, for 24 hours.

You can see details by clicking on the photos. They are all sized for 1-year-olds, but will work as a shirt for a slightly larger child.

Thank you and thank you, from my mom (who was moved out of intensive care and into the normal hospital this afternoon!), and from me.

Hi Eireann,
Hurrah for your mother being out of intensive care! This is the best news of the day! :) If you were here, I would give you a big hug.
Also: I'd like to buy #2 for my friend's little one. If you'd like, I can pay for it however and you can hold it until the next Tuesday I see you, as there is no rush.
PS: Are they letters or numbers?
These are so sweet. Your words make them even sweeter.
Good news! I've been thinking about her and will carry on :)
molly:
they are letters. :)
I'll take #5, the slate with hedgehogs. Tell your mom they're wonderful.
What a relief! ... I'm not so good with the numbers.
Your mother sounds like a very lovely woman; sharing her talents with those in need is a wonderful thing!! :) I'm still praying for her recovery...
These are so sweet... only wish I had a baby (or knew someone who did!) so I had an excuse to buy one... ;)
thanks michelle. i'll email you.
thanks also to mama urchin, max, and casey.
These are beautiful! (Alas, no wee ones in sight for me just yet... ; ) I'm glad to hear your mom is feeling better.

I would be honored to have number 3, the red one. Your mom must be very special to put so much love into so many things.
They are all beautiful and its wonderful that your mother has moved out of intensive care! Best wishes for her speedy recovery.
I'd like to take #6 if its still available....I hope it fits, what kind of slightly 'larger child' were you invisioning?
I'm so glad to hear that your mom is now out of intensive care. I hope she continues down the path to being well again. And her children's clothes are very sweet! Talented family.
