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. [...] Read the rest of Sweater Girl!

Remember the other day when I mentioned that I have a problem? Well, here is the result of said problem: Just in time to be put in Petunia’s stocking by “Santa”. Along with Christmas Bunny, of course. Read the rest of Problem? What Problem?

The title of this post is not something I would ever have thought I would utter in my lifetime but, today I did. I finished Petunia’s stuffed duckie’s matching Christmas pajamas today and here they are: Our pajama tops are just gray thermal tops but I used gray jersey knit for the duck’s instead because that’s [...] Read the rest of The Duck’s Pajamas Are Done

Leave it to me during the busiest time of the year to come up with more and more (and more) ideas of things to sew in time for Christmas. My latest (after matching pj’s for Petunia and me and before matching pj’s for her stuffed duck) is a friend for Pink Bunny, which I made [...] Read the rest of Pink Bunny Gets A Friend

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that all I have been doing/talking about lately is the Holiday Open House that happened last Friday night. One of the moms in our play group graciously opened her home to those of us work-at-home mommies with businesses/franchises to show our stuff and we had [...] Read the rest of Holiday Open House

It never fails. I get super-focused for a deadline, meet the deadline and feel really, really good about it. And then I crash. Does this happen to anyone else? After the Holiday Open House last week, which I will blog about as soon as I get back on my feet, I just hit The Wall. [...] Read the rest of Let Down, Hangover, Fall Out…A Rose By Any Other Name

I am apparently not a very good blogger. Not only do I not blog often enough, but I also forget to take pictures of the things I KNOW that I’m going to blog about. Case in point: I knew I wanted to blog about the crafty night I was going to do with the Mommies [...] Read the rest of Do You Tutu?

I sew when I’m stressed out. Or when I’m happy. Or when the sun shines. And on any day ending in “y”, mostly. I’ve been doing a lot of sewing for the shop and realized that I’ve been telling The Tot that I’ll make her all kinds of things and then promptly forgetting [...] Read the rest of Leopard Surprise!

I had too much fun sewing this latest blanket set! I LOVE how this one came together! I started by saying to myself, “Self: you need another girl blanket set for your Etsy shop .” I set about looking through my stash, figuring out what material I had for backing, what cottons I had [...] Read the rest of Too Much Fun!

Here at Casa de Tot, we are big on tutus. Angelina Ballerina is a favorite and ballet dancing is a daily activity. Which makes potty training interesting since there have to be leotards involved. But that’s another story for another day (and maybe another blog). I posted pictures in an earlier post of some [...] Read the rest of Do You Tutu?
