I got the basket finished up in time to give it to my Mom and Dad so they could pass it through to the silent auction folks. This is going to benefit a mom of my friend’s girlfriend/ex-wife/mother of his 2 kids. Complicated. She was diagnosed with an agressive bone cancer and they are in […]
About a year and a half ago I made this red shirt, but unfortunately I can’t find the “before” picture. I was going for a “blousey-hide-my-belly feel” for the shirt and ended up making a mumu. I wore it once, I think. Now that I no longer feel the need to hide my belly (though […]
Time to make some baby stuff for the little babe that the purple knit hat was destined for. The baby shower was on Saturday, and she got lots of fun stuff. It’s always so fun to see all the cute stuff that people pick out for the baby showers. She got a nice wide range of […]
I went shopping, which I thought would be mostly window shopping, but I ended up purchasing some skinny jeans and a knit shirt. The shirt fit well, but after a bit of soul searching and price tag gazing, I decided to take it back. I mean…I can make that for much, much, much less. *sigh* […]
[child error] is the excuse of so many mishaps in the house, isn’t it? In our three season porch we have a “wicker” couch and chair set that we bought at The Home Depot. It is wicker looking (i.e. a woven plastic of some sort) and the cushions were a nice plain utilitarian beige. Unfortunately, when […]
One day Anya came with me to the fabric store, whereupon she demanded wanted another dress be made for her highness. Being the complicet and compliant mommy that loves to make pretty dresses, I agreed. She picked out pink tulle, and I asked her if perhaps she would like another color. There were blues and […]
Generally, I’m not afraid of fluffy, ruffley concoctions. Generally, I am making them for Anya, though. I attempted to make myself a ruffley skirt, and it ended up being a bit too much. I started out with a rough idea of what I wanted to make, and had the fabrics all laid out. I wasn’t […]
Talk about instant gratification! These shirts are so easy to make and only take an hour and one yard of fabric. I’ve been scouring my fabric to find knits to use for them. One thing I have found out with making and wearing this shirt is… Knits with lycra = good Knits without lycra = bad […]
It’s official…Kailan is going to be nekked this summer. I just can’t stop making cute twirly skirts! At least I have plenty of pants that I can cut off and sew into shorts for him. He’s blown the knees out of several. NOW I understand why people say boys are hard on their clothes. I guess […]
An early crafty post this week… Oh, how I love to find things that camouflauge imperfections. Like my non-existent and slowly falling arse. I saw this idea, on etsy I believe, of adding a long fold-over piece to a pair of yoga type leggings. Wow, great idea Whomever-you-were! That is perfect since I really would […]
