(who doesn't like mustard yellow, right? if you don't...you are dead to me. just kidding. or am I...) I used this great tutorial and pattern and whipped a … [Read more...]

**Just so you don't think I'm some sort of Supermom, most of the projects I'm posting in the next few weeks were made before I had Ava. Just wanted to clear that up. We have lots of junk all over our floors and laundry to be folded over here. (and a baby to be snuggled so it's not all bad!) Not much sewing going on! ;) I got my hands on a copy … [Read more...]

I put together these little thank you gift for my nurses whenever I have this baby-I've never done that before but I saw a few versions while browsing Pinterest and thought it was a sweet idea.

A good friend of mine had a darling baby girl a few months back, and I totally forgot to share what I made her! Just some simple gifts-appliqued onesies, a blanket, and a onesie/skirt combo.

Gasp, a boy project! I had so much fun making this little quilt for a friend's son. She requested airplane fabric, so I searched around and found this on Etsy.

( It … [Read more...]
green
February 29, 2012 By 19 Comments
Maybe I am subconsciously getting ready for St. Patrick's Day, I don't know. I made a few necklaces last week and chose green beads for both. I'd rather have gotten another color of bead for the top one, but that was the best choice available at the time. Aren't the braided beads cute? I pinned this tutorial AGES ago and finally got the materials … [Read more...]
