It's the largest bedroom besides our master, but we had to have the sliding door changed to a window first. We're making progress on the room-it's almost done and I … [Read more...]

I made this wee little Ladybug softie for Sadie Charlotte whoever got it first yesterday! Of course, I whipped out my Go! Baby cutter (affiliate link) to cut the sah-weet (and so easy!) circles for the project.

So, my second attempt at making a stuffed animal was a little better. For one thing, Rory did not dub it "psycho demon kitty", (or psycho demon-bunny), so I'm ahead already. We named her Bunny. I know she doesn't have a face yet, but I'm pregnant! Give me a break. (that excuse is soo handy sometimes!)Also, I tried a soft fabric block pattern that … [Read more...]
