Man, it's tiring to quilt a quilt on a machine. Pushing all that fabric through over and over again. It's a work out! It's done though...so yay. (the quilting part) Now I have to sew the binding on, by hand, thank you very much. I've never done that, so I had to look it up online...here is the tutorial I found that helped the most. It has … [Read more...]

Wouldn't you love waking up to a face like this? She's so happy when she wakes up it almost makes it worth waking up. (for me) lol. I got a new reading lamp for my nightstand. We only had one measly light in there before. Is it weird that I love pulling the little chain so much I will turn it on for no reason? Oh well, all the better to read my … [Read more...]

This round of pant-making went much quicker. Cut out and sewn in about 15 minutes. Of course, there are only 5 seams. lol. Hopefully the more ahem, generous cut of the bottom area will fit my little darling better. Too bad she's not awake to try them on cause I want to make more! oh well. I will have to wait til tomorrow to cut up more of Rory's … [Read more...]

Today Sadie took a LOONG afternoon nap (thank the heavens!) so, in a random fit of sewing I decided to try this tutorial for baby "yoga" pants you make from old tshirts! (obviously she's not actually going to do yoga in them, although that would be awesome) Cool, no? So I thought. It actually was very easy-only took me about one maybe one and a … [Read more...]
Butterflies are in the air

One of the crafty things I've had going for awhile is this cute butterfly mobile. Especially since Sadie now wakes up from naps or in the morning and talks to herself for a little while, this will give her something fun to look at. Or at least, one hopes it's fun to look at. I got the pattern and idea from this blog, and finally got Rory to screw … [Read more...]

I wanted to share some of the crafty things I've done lately. They're not much, but I just love to make things for my house...I can't stop! It's a sickness. I wanted to try quilting something. If any of you are quilters, please don't laugh. I am pretty proud of this little table thingy. And...oh! it's reversible! Embellished this little … [Read more...]

How quaint is that title? I feel like little Miss Homemaker. haha. Rory is out in the front yard pulling out ugly plants as we speak. Sadie is napping away, although making little sounds. She may wake up soon. Better hurry! My little herbies! The cilantro is growing like a weed, and the others...not so much. Slow and steady.... Last night I made … [Read more...]

This morning me and the scrapbooking gals, Aimee and Kim, got together again...although, again we didn't do any scrapbooking. I did get some stuff out of my bag though. Progress! lol. The other babies had fun talking and grabbing at each other, but Sadie mostly just sat there and looked around. hehe! Aww cuties! She had a rough rest of the day … [Read more...]
