Sorry about the title, I couldn't help it. I saw this tutorial and just had to make some of these oh so cute strawberries. For Sadie of course. I want to get her a kitchen play set for Christmas, so I'm working on felt/fabric food for her to play with. So far, I have these strawberries and two sugar cookies. This morning, Janae and I went to the … [Read more...]

Sad day...last night while I was trying to finish up a cute men's shirt into dress transformation, my sewing machine died. I was distraught, and tried all the tricks to fix it. Alas, it needs a tune up. (so, a temporary death) And a trip to San Jose...since there are no sewing machine repair shops down here in Gilroy. Are you kidding me? Does no … [Read more...]

Sadie has been getting a bit...stuck lately. You saw the secretary desk incident. She's had run-ins recently with her car seat, doors, walls, fireplaces, toys, you name it. She's working on the forward-motion crawling, and is getting better, but she still reverts back to her backward mode of transportation, the belly scoot. She's quite good at … [Read more...]

The top is officially done! I finished it today during her nap, hooray! I love it. It's very big though. Like twin size. It will cover a lot of people on the couch, which is kind of what I had in mind for it, a throw. Maybe it will be Sadie's bedspread when she gets into a real bed. We'll see. Now to pick out the backing fabric and binding and … [Read more...]
