Two weeks ago (has it been that long? I’m not sure I’ve yet recovered!) Petunia was really sick. Puking her little guts out sick. Her body was not using insulin in the regular way and so I had trouble keeping her blood sugar up. Movement lowers blood sugar so she spent some time resting on [...]

In between karate class, grocery shopping, auto maintenance appointments and general business planning, this fun 4th of July celebration banner nagged me into getting it finished. It sat on my cutting table calling to me while I cooked dinner, begging me to sew a seam, demanding that I go to another fabric store [...]

I listed this eco-friendly reusable baseball-themed birthday banner in my Etsy shop earlier this week and have tried since then to think up a clever or interesting post about it to no avail.

I have been meaning to slip-cover it for 4 years. It was something that we already had before Petunia was born and decided it would work for a [...]

Last month I did a custom order for a friend of a friend who needed “wedding tutus” for her girls. They were headed to Hawaii for a wedding in which their girls would be flower girls. It was such a fun project! Layers upon layers of white sparkly tulle, satin ribbon and flower embellishments. Alas, [...]

Just finished this custom order for a baby blanket. The parents-to-be are Dallas Cowboys fans so this is an interpretation of such fan-hood! The blocks are star print cotton material and white flannel. The appliqued stars are made from blue fleece, terry cloth, and up-cycled white tee shirt jersey (husband’s tee shirt…he didn’t want it [...]

Last night I was perusing some tutorials about how to turn an adult sweater into items for Petunia and woke up this morning ready to go! I was so motivated that I started before I had even drank my coffee. That’s unheard of for me. Generally sewing before coffee is a complete no-no for me. [...]
