(I used embroidery thread) Sew on some cute buttons and bam! you have some cute decor for your home...I'm putting these in the laundry room at the new house. … [Read more...]
Another softie
June 5, 2008 By 4 Comments
This one was from my own pattern. It's kinda wonky and didn't exactly turn out how I wanted. I think her arms and legs are too long for her narrow body. :-D Oh well. It was fun and killed a few hours anyways. Also I finished up season 7 of Friends. So win win at least! Anyways, here's a pic. Try not to laugh too hard!This is Kiki. She is a pain in … [Read more...]

I've been wanting to try this baby bootie pattern that my cousin Jenni told me about, so I gave it a shot! It was a little tricky, but only took about an hour! Now I just have to make an outfit to match them, haha. … [Read more...]
Bigger doll
May 21, 2008 By 4 Comments
So I made another one of those dolls last night. Apparently, I was supposed to enlarge the pattern, that's why it was so hard to stuff the legs. I blame it on being pregnant. I am forgetful a lot! Anyways, here is Anastasia's older sister, Matilda. hehe. … [Read more...]
I love softies!

I think I sewed my fingers numb yesterday! We got home from Stake Conference, I sat down at my computer/sewing machine, and sewed softies til the cows came home. (which they didn't, incidentally. We don't have any cows) They were challenging, but fun. I think I will not make any more for awhile. haha. Today are our home inspections (regular and … [Read more...]
Easy peasy crafts

I have this humungo list of sewing and craft projects I want to try, so I decided to tackle a few this weekend. I made this cute and easy dishtowel apron from a tutorial I found here. It was tricky to get the gathers sewn right at the top, but other than that it only took like 15 minutes. I also have some dishtowels waiting to be messed with, but I … [Read more...]

Awww so cute! I love this fabric, and I wanted to try making one of those tag blankets for babies. Apparently they like to play with the ribbons...hopefully our baby does! It didn't take very long-and it's so soft and fun! It's pretty small-about 17x17". Fun and fast! … [Read more...]
Itty Bitty baby dress and bow clips
May 5, 2008 By 3 Comments
I decided to tackle this little dress yesterday, with no help from my sister or mom. (I hate patterns and always need their help) I do ok with easy straight lines, so this dress was challenging, but not too difficult! I had the material all picked out, so I just went for it. It only took an hour and a half or so, the hardest part was getting the … [Read more...]

Hey folks! I realize I'm posting a lot of crafty stuff lately. This post is no exception, but someday I will post another pic of my growing belly. It itches now sometimes. Yippee. haha. So....I made another bag last night, with the same pattern as before, just a little modified. I put in a magnetic clasp-which makes all the difference! Also I used … [Read more...]
