Stress Relief–Princess Room Decor Banner

This week has been long with few breaks to sew. But I did manage to get started on the Princess room decor banner. This was one of the ideas that was generated earlier this week by a friend and I really had fun putting it together! A bright spot in an otherwise arduous week.

Now to [...]

Needing to “Work” Today

Today I have a need to “work”. It is not in quotations because I do not take it seriously. It is in quotations because I enjoy it so much that it seems weird to call it work. Sewing is my passion and what I love to do. And after the past few days with a [...]

Sneak Preview! Sports-themed Birthday Banner

Sometimes over here at Snugglebug Designs it is pretty slow-going. Momma can be severely sleep-deprived from middle of the night blood sugar checks some days or there are a gazillion errands to run or my new-found zeal about getting back into shape (via P90X) takes up most of my time that used to be used [...]

Thrift Store Finds to be Refashioned!

Because of the successful sweater refashion, Petunia and I stopped by our local thrift establishment after karate class yesterday, specifically to find “stripey sweaters”. Petunia requested more “sweater clothes” and wanted them to be striped. Of course, when I enter with one thing in mind, of course other things jump right out at [...]

I Think I’m In Trouble….

Petunia comes home from preschool today after participating in a “ginger bread man hunt” in her class and says “I wish I had a gingerbread man doll”. This mama thinks “Hmm…the Christmas Bunny pattern without the ears and a little bit more pudgy would look just like a gingerbread man…”. I have a problem knowing [...]

Christmas Pajamas!

This year I decided to make Petunia and I matching Christmas pj bottoms to wear on Christmas Eve and, as time permits, I’ve been sewing a seam here and there. As they are still in progress, I’ll just show you the cute flannel I picked but, rest assured that I’ll take a pic of the [...]

Mine, Mine, Mine!

Okay, so The Tot didn’t actually say it that way. She is a sweet girl who will go there if need be but this time she used her nice voice and said “Is Mommy making the red tutu for you?” (She still calls herself “you” instead of “me”). This, mind you, is after she also [...]

It’s My Party and I’ll Blog If I Want To

It’s my party and I’ll blog if I want to even if I don’t have pictures to post! I just feel like blogging today. Maybe it’s because I don’t have time to and we all want what we don’t have, right? Last night was just one of Those Nights. My Tot has Type 1 diabetes [...]

Guess What?

My mom liked the quilty-thingy I made for my brother so much in “Masculine Yet Snug-Buggly” that she wants two of her own for her couches. Turns out they DO go really, really well with her decor like I thought they would and she didn’t really wanna give it to my brother but, darn [...]

In Between Projects

There’s something about finishing a project that has me at loose ends and not sure what to do with myself. It’s not like I don’t have four other (really!) projects that I want to start and a few clothes patterns I want to sew for my daughter. I do. But there is [...]
