So, I hosted our monthly book club this month, and chose Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen for us to read. Ok, so the gorgeous cover of this copy might have been a factor...but can you blame me? helloooo pretty lady. I had mixed feelings about the book-it was good and I enjoyed the story, but parts of it were extremely hard for me to get through … [Read more...]

A little gift for a my friend Jessie's daughter's birthday-one of these super cute stuffed animal sleeping bags...seen here. I was a rebel and didn't use the pattern though, just figured it out. It was very easy to make and ended up being so cute! My first one, not so much. :} Sadie appreciated it though! It just wasn't up to snuff. One tip: fill … [Read more...]

I had it on good authority (me and Santa's tight, yo) that Charlotte was getting a baby doll for Christmas (baby Sleeping Beauty to be exact, man, that Santa is so informative), so I decided to make a quick doll quilt for her, after all, Sadie has a few so Charlotte surely deserves one of her own!

So you saw the shower I co-hosted for my pal Aimee, right? So....I kind of went a little handmade crazy for her present. I couldn't help it! Baby girl stuff is just too much fun to make. My favorite part of her gift was this little quilt I made for baby Penny. It's not pieced, obviously, just two yards of fabric layered with batting and quilted, … [Read more...]

This year I was actually on top of things and got together an awesome root beer sampler for Rory. (he's a long time lover of all things root beer...candy, soda, ice cream) Granted, last year I was a bit busy around this time, but still. It was fun to pick out the different kinds for us him to try! I got the idea here. I got all of my root beers at … [Read more...]
laminated cotton Baprons (and some in the shop!)
June 9, 2011 By 26 Comments
My fabulous new sponsor, Kelly from Oil Cloth Addict, sent me some laminated cotton to play with. Have you ever heard of laminated cotton? It's fabulous and waterproof, but not as stiff as oilcloth. It's really got a nice drape to it. You can read more about it on her blog! It's also more kid friendly than oil cloth, for bibs and food pouches and … [Read more...]
