Mini-Me Apron

So I had this weekend all to myself. No offense to my husband, but it was great. I went to yoga, had a latte, went shopping for books (I got this one from my all-time fav author), ate left over homemade Indian food, and then I sewed for the afternoon. I worked on a little tote for one of my favourite soon-to-be 2 year-olds (she'll be 2 on Wednesday!), made another mini-tote and then kept with the mini-theme with a mini-apron. I got such nice compliments on the last one I made, I decided to use up some fun fabric I had to make one for the shop.


I didn't put a pocket on this one because I didn't have enough of the fabric and I didn't want to use something else. I think it's so sweet. Get it here if you like it too.

What did you do this weekend?

one year and a contest!

So it has been one year since starting up my little lealou shop and I'm excited to share some new things I've been working on. But first... to celebrate my one year anniversary, I'm having a little contest giveaway!


This is called The Fall Leaves Clutch and you could be its owner! How you ask? Become a fan of my Facebook page and leave a comment telling me all the things you would stuff into this thing. If you're already a fan, be sure to leave a comment because you're eligible for the contest too! Now I know some of you don't like Facebook, so if you don't have an account; just leave a comment here and I'll add you to the contest.

The contest closes one week from today at 11:59pm (if you're still up that late!).

on to the new stuff...

This is Kaite my 'little' sister.


She's about 10 feet taller than me and I can fit both of my feet into one of her shoes which makes her perfect modeling material dontcha think?

She's holding the Fall Leaves Tote. If you like this little number, trek on over to my shop for a peek. There are more goodies over there that I'll feature on the blog this week and next.

Happy Thursday and don't forget to enter the contest!
