Whenever July 4th is in the middle of the week, we don’t seem to go anywhere or do anything. This past week we were just tired, so we stayed in and watched a Band of Brothers marathon. It was nice to sit and do nothing. I almost finished a loom knitted scarf during the marathon. […]
This was supposed to be an entry for the 52 week sewing challenge last week, but I ran out of steam and did not get the pictures uploaded. Oh well…add it to the many weeks I missed! This top is made from a fabric pattern I drafted and then printed on Modern Jersey from Spoonflower. […]
Yeah, pretty much all of June has been just trying to keep up with all of the practices, games and tournaments. Not much else has gotten done. My accomplishments Focus Photo – This has pretty much been our lives…at the ballfield. Sewing – The month of June I did not get a lot done […]
Here is the last print I sewed up for the current rounds open at Fabric Anthropology/Thread Therapy Fabric. I volunteered to sew up too many fabrics this time. I didn’t keep track of what I had already signed up for, soooooo…yeah, a little stressed with getting them sewn up and photographed! Disclosure: This post may […]
I have to admit…I’ve been in a bit of a sewing slump lately. This is mostly due to the fact that it is super busy with sports during June, and I don’t have much time to sew. I like to have larger tracts of time to be creative, and that just hasn’t been happening lately. […]

This is my second year participating in the Sew Americana Blog tour by Wild & Wanderful, and it is a fun mid-summer prompt to get something sewn up for the 4th of July. I was hoping that I would have more time to sew and get something made, but my free time has really been […]
I am sad to say that I actually bought the girl some clothes for summer. I have been really good the last several years, and have made most of her clothes. Something had to give, though. Time has not been plentiful of late to get things sewn up for her. I did get a […]
“We fight. That is how we win, that is how we die.” Ragnar to Bjorn, Season 3, The Vikings Look familiar? Well, I did make my hubby a t-shirt with that saying on it from fabric from Fabric Anthropology. The panels were adult only, though. My girl reads a lot of Y.A. books on female […]
It has apparently been busy around here, as I am three weeks late. May was busy, and came along with a birthday for the girl. She got a nice pair of sport sunglasses, since we had no other ideas for her. There was also Mother’s Day weekend, and sure enough, yet another year of […]
