Princess Journal

The other day I was just looking around on the internet, Twitter, etc. and came across this great tutorial for a sewn journal. I was intrigued by the idea of sewing paper and decided The Tot could use a sketch book. Maybe that would make waiting in line, waiting rooms, etc. a little [...]

Tutus Everywhere!

These days The Tot is very into Angelina Ballerina and routinely wants to wear her leotard, tights, ballet shoes (thank you Cousin Amy!) and 5 tutus. Yes, five. One is attached to said leotard but the other 4 have been randomly picked up or acquired over the past year or two. Let’s just say they’re [...]

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 [...]

Hawaiana–Pillow Cover

The other day I was looking at the sad excuse for a used-to-be-decent Costco couch pillow that currently resides on my big comfy chair in the living room and thought “Good Lord! How have I let this thing reside in my living room for so long in this condition? It needs a cover!” because, of [...]

The Queen Bee

I have been wanting to make this blanket for a couple of months now and just never got one of those “round-to-its”. A while back someone convo’d me about a larger version of the hot pink and black Jr. Diva Blanket to which I replied that I would be happy to do that. They didn’t [...]

Just Finished Cuteness

Well, I never got around to taking pics of the kimono shirt. I think it’s in the wash. I’ll try and do that soon. But I did take pics yesterday of the newest baby blanket AND a cute little outfit that I made for The Tot.
The blanket is a starry purple flannel affair with quilting [...]

Downsizing

So I realized the other day that my generously sized bibs drown our littlest family members. Although the upside is that they protect just about the entire baby, I thought they might like some pint-sized ones just for them. And maybe Momma would appreciate them, too. So I set to work on a smaller [...]

Happy Spring Quilt! :)

Last night I finished binding The Sherbet Quilt and I have to say that it is one of my absolute favorites! It is made of 100% cotton in fun Spring-ey prints and solids with an adorable pink/owl cotton backing. It has polyester batting between and is bound with machine and hand-stitching. This [...]

Masculine Yet Still Snug-buggly

I started a blankety-quilty thing for my Mom for Christmas using colors that would really go well with her livingroom decor.  I didn’t like it for her.  Too dark.  Too masculine.  Too linear.  So I abandoned it and made one that was lighter, more fun, and didn’t match her livingroom decor at all!  She liked [...]
