This is one of my favorite baby gifts to make. It takes just one yard each of minky and flannel and they are such plush blankies for babies. They are a great size for carseats and strollers in the wintertime, or anytime it is a bit cool out. Supplies needed: 1 yard flannel 1 yard […]
On Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to get something done sewing wise. Finally. My sewing room has been missing me. I have been avoiding it lately in favor of either reading, chores or working out. Too much to do and not enough time to do it. Story of our lives, right?? I have wanted to […]
So…I got some sewing done! Whoop, whoop! I even took pictures for a tutorial on how to make one of these bad boys, since I have made so many of them. It is my current favorite baby gift. They are easy and so fuzzy! These blankets take about an hour to make and I would […]
I volunteered to help with a post at Daisy Chain Creations, where she has the series Sowing While you Sew. It is about teaching your kids to sew, which she has had some fun projects. The Girl and I made a tote bag, so come check it out!

So…yeah…work has been kicking my fanny this year. I have been taking my computer home most days, so sewing at night has not been happening. Now I am really glad that I didn’t get a place in this season’s line up. I would be soooo stressed out! Okay, Week 3 for Project Run and Play […]
How sweet is that to hear, huh?? I can count on my hubs complementing me on how I look about once a month if I am lucky, but I guess we have been married almost 15 years. The expectations are low at this point. 😉 The hair is a spin-off of this style at Hair […]
Well, I managed to complete a dress in time for the first challenge. Despite my seams being all gnarly due to some issue with my tension. Go me! Don’t look at the seams too close! The dress is supposed to be a remix of this dress. While the Princess told me earlier this week that […]
