Come see what game inspired this fall dress over on the Sew Ready to Play series over on I'm Feelin' Crafty! Sadie loves her new dress, though she informed me that she can only wear it while playing her game. Uhhh....ok? Anyone else ready for fall? I am SO ready for boot and jean weather...not to mention having this baby and wearing normal clothes … [Read more...]

Finally, it's here....the moment you've all been waiting for! haha...ok maybe the moment I've been waiting for! The nursery reveal! I had so much fun redecorating the nursery for little girl #3 (she does have name...yes an "A" name but we're not telling yet...such a tease, I know), and poured every last bit of second trimester energy that I had … [Read more...]

Today I'll show ya (or try reeally hard to show ya) how to make the Rainbow Dash hoodie! Most of this came together well, except the hood was a little small for the neck part.

belly+baby gauze baby blanket tutorial
September 10, 2012 By 21 Comments
You've probably seen those cute gauze swaddling blankets, right? They're all the rage nowadays. We didn't have that kind of tomfoolery when I had my last baby, so of course I had to get in on the hottest new baby item! I thought I'd try making some of my own, because that's what we bloggers do, am I right? I got my fabric on fabric.com and ordered … [Read more...]
the sweet & sassy dress: a tutorial
August 24, 2012 By 21 Comments
This dress pretty much named itself because Miss Sadie was being super sassy during this photo shoot! I couldn't believe the smiles I was getting out of her! Surprisingly it only cost me a leftover piece of saltwater taffy from her party....I was all ready with Squinkies and such nonsense. I think it's a fluke...pretty sure next time she'll be as … [Read more...]

August 20, 2012 By 15 Comments
Hey Howdy Hey....channeling Woody the cowboy today I guess. I don't know why I say these things sometimes. Moving on....so I had a bunch of random scraps of fabric leftover from the quilt and other projects, so I decided to make a fun scalloped garland to swankify a wall in the new nursery. Yes, that's a word... I am so close to being done … [Read more...]
baby’s first dress
August 17, 2012 By 22 Comments
I really wanted to sew something the other day-nothing too complicated or mind boggling (my mind is boggled enough with being 6 months pregnant), so I pulled out this mint fabric from my sponsor The Ribbon Retreat and some eyelet trim my sister in law gave me, and whipped up a little Charlotte dress for the new baby! Only I didn't cut the back out … [Read more...]
baby gifts are adorable, no? plus a mini tutorial!
August 13, 2012 By 80 Comments
A good friend of mine had a darling baby girl a few months back, and I totally forgot to share what I made her! Just some simple gifts-appliqued onesies, a blanket, and a onesie/skirt combo. I used some new dies for my Go Baby cutter, and they were perfect for this type of project. Easy and quick...the bread and butter of us crafters, … [Read more...]
