Here are some bags I made over my vacation. I wasn’t taking the best care in taking pictures (lazy me!), but you can get the gist of them. They are upholstery weight fabric, and the handbags have silk for the pockets. It is the same style of bag I usually make and they have pockets […]

This is my first attempt at making some doll clothes. As I wrote previously, I wanted to get Anya a Fancy Nancy doll for Christmas, but the extra doll clothes were a bit too expensive. I bought the dolly, took her out of the excessive packaging and measured her all up. I sat down at the […]
I have no new creations to share this week. The days just went by so fast, and I didn’t get photos of creations I have finished in the past month or so. There are two or three of Anya’s outfits that I need to photograph. They will be well broken-in by the time I get […]
Here is Anya’s Holiday outfit. She will be wearing it much, and it should hopefully fit her next year, too. It was made from three different colors of duiponi silk that I bought on sale at 50%/60% off. Yay! Silks vary in their degree of fraying. The blue one was really bad in the fraying department […]
Boy clothes – they are a bit harder than girl clothes. With girl clothes you have various lovely patterns for different kinds of tops and dresses, skirts, pants, gauchos, leggings, etc. With boy clothes you have pants and shirts. Not much variety there. One pattern company I love for their boy clothes is Ottobre. They […]
Okay people, who’s counting down to Christmas?? I know, Thanksgiving is next week, but Christmas-time is just such a fun time of the year! Last year it felt like it all went by at lightspeed. This year I want to be a bit more prepared. I have my December Daily book ready to go – […]

Our Halloween costumes
By Stacy on November 4, 2008Brian and I went as a pirate and a vampiress to our adults only Halloween party on Saturday. My costume was just pieces from costumes I had in the past, and the only thing I had made was the black cape. Brian’s costume required a bit more work. We had to leave for the party […]
I have been hard at work preparing some outfits for Anya once the weather gets chilly. Like now. It snowed on Sunday. Blech, blech, blech! Unfortunately the Prince has notice his lack of new clothes made by the sweat of my brow and has been asking where are his clothes. Look for boy clothes forthcoming […]
It goes without saying that most of Anya’s clothes cost less than $10 in supplies, or $15 at the most for an entire outfit. Time, well that is another thing. After being on the Spoonflower waiting list for several months, I was finally able to order my first fabrics in mid-September. It took 3 weeks to […]
