Boy, I never thought I would get into matching stuff. I think wearing matching stuff as a kid and then rebelling against it as a teenager, just wanting to be different, made me not want to match anymore. But I done made matching ties for Tyler and the busy belly bun. What I didn't show you on that Chicago fabric post was the little fragment of tie silk I bought for the bargain price of, cough, cough (it's unbelievable), one stinky, recession-proof dollar! It turns out ties are super easy to make and Tyler loved it. He is such a good sport, always wearing and loving the things I make him. It really makes me feel good. I thought, if we can manage to straight-jacket that baby into a dress-shirt for Annie and Kevin's wedding, we can get him into a tie, too. And then, he can look just like his Daddy! Precious.
