The colder weather has come to the Northwoods, so sending Little Miss into the big ole warehouse facility at gymnastics can be a bit chilly for her. I bought some dancewear velour (thick, 4-way stretch velour and *SHINY*) during my summer shopping excursion up to the northern suburbs. It is again…expensive…fabric. I bought just enough to […]
This was a pretty quick make for the girl. She has already lost two teeth, so I am a bit late. In my defense, the first one she lost was on our trip to Seattle this summer, while we were on a walk. I wasn’t prepared! Her big tooth is on the cusp of coming […]
Every year I have to try to make a creative and fun Christmas card. The kids, of course, need fancy schmancy clothes for the photoshoot, too. 🙂 I went with the traditional reds of Christmas for this photoshoot. Unfortunately, reds go supersonic on my Nikon D50, so excuse the excessive redness of the RED. ~~~~~ […]
The Girl needed some new tights, having grown several inches since last winter. I may have actually bought them the winter before…well, anyways, she GREW. I got some good universal knit tights in black and white from Target, and was told by the girl that she wasn’t a fan of the non-colorful tights. She still wore […]
This spring my company moved from using IBM laptops to Macbook Air’s. I won’t get into how little love there is in my heart for the Mac. Nothing like stepping back about 5 years technology-wise! At least it surfs the Internets real good…and that is what we should be looking for in a machine for […]
This past weekend we were visiting my family for a birthday party for my cousin’s little girl. We stayed overnight, and in the morning the Boy got to shoot his compound bow that Grandpa and Grandma got him for his 7th birthday. He doesn’t get to shoot it very often, but he does really enjoy it. […]
The S.W.A.P. for the Boy is finally done! I still have several things I need to make for him, but I wanted to make sure these fit him first. There are actually a few other Ottobre pants I would like to make for him, so I need to get them traced while I’m still in “Ottobre-pain-in-the-arse” […]
You have already seen pictures of this one, but I thought I would describe it a bit… The top is made from organic cotton jersey from Spoonflower. This one printed pretty true to my design, so I was happy about that. It is so nice and soft, too! This will be a great shirt for […]
The last week of Project Run and Play is sewing a signature style. This was tough to figure out. What is my signature style?? First, I was thinking of what I don’t like to make. I don’t like using patterns that EVERYONE seems to be using (i.e. peasant dresses or anything Farbenmix). I want something […]
This week for Project Run and Play we have Holiday Wear. I kinda missed the fact that it was supposed to be FALL holiday wear, but she can wear this to Thanksgiving just fine. I made the kids some Halloween outfits a few years back if you want to see some Fall holiday wear. Oh, […]
