Have you heard about Crafterhours' skirt week? I knew I wanted to make something for it..there are some crazy cool prizes too, not that I have a chance against all those cute skirts!Here's my entry...probably the only one I'll get entered, unless I find one I made previously that I like enough, cause you can enter skirts you've made anytime! … [Read more...]
new PJ’s
June 7, 2010 By 18 Comments
I got a little carried away with making summer PJ's for the Sadester. I can't help it, they are so easy and fun to make! Plus, I got to use up some of my flannel that's been sitting around for awhile. Always good to use up the stash :D Makes room for more fabric. (haha just kidding Rory, well only slightly) I embellished some tank tops to match, … [Read more...]

Take one clearance sweatshirt ($2)....add one pile of fabric strips....gather them and sew down....and what do you get?a much cuter sweatshirt! (I hope so at least, I'm not sure it doesn't need something else...a flower or something...) … [Read more...]

So, we had a new friend move in with us yesterday, specifically in with Sadie. She has red hair (nothing new around here), wears a bikini (I only do that on Fridays), and has fins (ok, none of us have those, thankfully).Can you tell Sadie loves her mermaid doll? She is OBSESSED with the Little Mermaid, she'll sing "AHhAHAHHH" like Ariel does … [Read more...]
seatbelt covers

I finally got around to making some seat belt covers for the baby's car seat. (like, 2 weeks ago) Which is weird, cause they are so easy and quick to make! I made a pair for the Sadester way back when, but I may make a new set, those are not as well made...I've learned some tricks since then. (made those a long time ago!) Maybe I'll put together a … [Read more...]
a little early.

This outfit I made Sadie to wear for the Fourth of July (assuming I won't be in labor or something, in which case, Mom, this is what Sadie should wear if we're in the hospital), might be a little early, but as you may know, I am trying my hardest to as much done before this baby comes. Such as party planning, outfit-making, etc...you know, she can … [Read more...]
teeny quilt
May 24, 2010 By 7 Comments
So this quilt wasn't supposed to get made...what I mean is it started it's first life as a dress for Sadie. I had the skirt all pieced and everything, and then...I hated it. It was too heavy with the lining, and didn't look right.So I sewed the two skirt pieces together, slapped some batting and a back on it...I love these polka dots...another … [Read more...]

Since I imagine I'll be quite busy with a new-ish baby (not to mention the Sadester), around Sadie's 2nd birthday in August, among other things...I'm trying to get any pre-party planning/tasks out of the way now, while I still have tons of free time. (hah hah) Included in that list was a birthday dress for the birthday girl. I decided on a ice … [Read more...]
for sister
May 20, 2010 By 7 Comments
I couldn't help but make another dolly for baby sister with the Black Apple pattern...I love her patchwork dress. Sadie was excited to take it to sister's room for safe keeping, of course after a snuggle or two. :D*side note* Sadie is so cute...she's started to pat my belly, say "sister", and give it a big kiss! I don't know how long that will last … [Read more...]
