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...]

Sometimes I don’t like to sew. (and other ramblings)
August 7, 2012 By 61 Comments
Yes, it's true. Sometimes I do not enjoy sewing. I have been having a particularly hard time lately with sewing clothes-failed projects and ruined fabric doesn't exactly scream productivity and inspiration. Sometimes my mojo leaves without letting me know and goes on vacation. Rude, right? (hopefully it comes back soon)But you know what? I'm ok … [Read more...]
ruffled crib skirt
August 6, 2012 By 19 Comments
I just love how the ruffled crib skirt came out for the new nursery! It took some time, of course...all that ruffling doesn't happen instantly...(unfortunately)...but I just watched some Netflix and it wasn't too painful. I used about 3 yards of fabric for the ruffles. (from the Mod Basics organic line from my sponsor Fabricworm!) I basically … [Read more...]

So here we … [Read more...]
little striped top
July 31, 2012 By 18 Comments
I had the hankering for a quick sewing project the other day so I pulled out some knits and made this little top for Sadie. I'm thinking that I should sew for Charlotte more, though...Sadie is such a stinker when it comes to photo shoots nowadays! Although once she gets down to business she always pulls through. (she usually needs the promise of a … [Read more...]

July 30, 2012 By 10 Comments
Thrifting has been a little sparse for me lately...and my favorite thrift stores stopped having sales as often, which is a bummer. Hopefully awesome people start donating awesome stuff again soon!Ya know, so I can find it and bring it home with me. So maybe it's a good thing I haven't found much lately. I'm sure Rory appreciates it. ;) (although I … [Read more...]
