wee little dolly

I made this sweet little Black Apple Doll for Sadie's friend Payton's second birthday this week. Her dress fabric is fitting for the name of the doll pattern, huh? ;)It's been awhile since I made one, they're so fun and pretty easy. I'll have to add another one of these to the list for baby #2! … [Read more...]

shakers

Sorry about the bad photos and scowling Sadie...but oh well! Pictures can't always be happy and pretty. We made this little shaker craft last Friday with Rayne and Cassy.You just decorate a paper plate, tape streamers to the edge on one side, fold it in half, fill with beans or rice or something noisy, and staple shut.BAM! Wha-la! Kazow!moving … [Read more...]

summery top

Another tank top...are you sick of them yet? A little tunic top...a tad wide in the shoulders...next one I make will have to be a bit slimmer. I know, this girl has a ton of clothes, I just have a bunch of fabric that I want to use, so oh well! (Plus, I'm a bit addicted, if you haven't noticed) I love the little pockets. (Sadie filled them with … [Read more...]

nature bracelets

Got masking tape?A sidewalk nearby?With leaves or flowers on the ground? Then you too, can make super cool nature bracelets like Sadie and I did the other day. I don't remember where I first saw this idea, but luckily it popped into my head the other day when I was trying to think of something to do. It was a gorgeous morning, so I didn't want to … [Read more...]

We are in the home stretch for baby #2! A little more than 8 weeks and counting. Rory is good about reminding me to get things ready...like buying newborn diapers (oh my gosh...are they REALLY that tiny? I'd forgotten), washing and sorting the 0-3 month clothes, etc....I'm more about the crafting! lol. Like these big sis/lil' sis shirts I made for … [Read more...]

wall hanging

Another birthday present! This time for my sister Joanna. She's away at college, so I didn't want to give her anything useless, or that would take up a lot of space. Well, at least this doesn't take up a lot of space. ;) Hope she likes it. (edit: she did)I saw this print a long time ago at the Feed Your Soul website, and thought it would be perfect … [Read more...]

winner :D

So, I know I said I'd do this drawing yesterday...please forgive me. I went camping Friday night with my family and came home soo sore and tired, so blogging has been the last thing on my mind! (sleeping/napping, on the other hand...) Sadie ended up sharing our air mattress, so Rory and I were a bit squished. and I forgot my pillow. You know, the … [Read more...]

She's been away at BYU for 4 months...and we miss her!...grateful Rory understands about raging pregnancy hormones. (we'll just leave it at that)...obsessing over Sadie's dress up … [Read more...]
