ACM to XYZ

In the last few months 2 of my cousins had babies.  :)

My Cousin Alex and his wife are both Military or were. His wife Courtney just gave birth not long ago to a little boy. It looks like they are keeping a naming pattern going for a 4th Generation...  

          Grandpa - A. C. M.
          Uncle (Alex's Dad) - A. C. M.
          Alex - A. C. M.
          Baby - A. C. M.

I think that's kewl. Mayhaps Uncle Alan and Grandpa are smiling from where they are... It's sad that they aren't here to see him. I saw pictures and he's a cutie!!  :)

Then there's my Cousin Brian. I remember when he was younger and now he's a DADDY!!  Woo hoo. His "Special Lady" Jeanine gave birth not long ago to a little girl. Her initials came out as X. Y. Z.     Kewl names with a bit of the family weird humor... Though gotta know the Clan to understand what I mean.

She's a cutie though... And she's gonna have her daddy wrapped around her lil finger...  LOL...   Note to future boyfriends... Mess with one "Z" Clan and you're gonna end up with all of them on your case... and there are enough of Brian's cousins all around the same age range.....  And that's not counting the Uncles and Aunts!!!

I'm currently working on some cute lil felt booties that are a kewl matching color for this cute lil outfit I found. The booties are easy enough to make.. it's the embroidery that takes some time as I'm doing it all by hand. I also have a crazy idea for a pair of "Joke" Booties... for Brian's lil girl.

Brian is a Graphic Artist who likes to use a lot of bright colors. He does posters and advertising for many little or big music festivals all up and down the east coast...  Music festivals, culture festivals, ... you name it he's probably designed a poster for it...   He's also into music himself.... He plays and writes his own music if I remember right.  So I have some left over faux patent leather looking material and some brightly tie dyed looking fleece scraps. I thought about altering a bootie pattern I have to look like a loose version of black boots with the bright fleece on the inside.... I'm hoping it comes out kewl.... might have to make some more!

I just gotta get this done before she gets too big to wear this stuff....   girls are so much easier to figure out stuff for than boys...
