My To-Do list is acquiring epic proportions. Thanks to Pinterest. Thanks also to my lack of getting anything done lately. Thankfully, I squirreled away some time across a few weekends to get a few things off my I-want-to-try-this list. Project #1 I had these tiles left over from tiling the kitchen a few years ago. […]

After thinking long and hard about what I wanted to do for the Christmas card this year, I finally figured out what I wanted to do. This, of course, meant I needed some articles of clothing to bring my vision to fruition. This was a dress that I hadn’t worn in a few years. I […]
Me: I made you some cartoon pants! They are pretty cool, huh? Anya: Mommy, that IS NOT a cartoon. Me: So sorry…COMIC book pants. Still cool. She wore them (even though they WERE NOT cartoon pants), albeit grudgingly. When she got home she asked me to make a comic book shirt to go with them. […]
I cut these up a good month ago, and finally got around to making them. He was excited for the “army pants”. He even had a shirt that already matched! I cut these pockets too low, so next time I will have to move them up. The other pants are denim and a stretch twill. […]
I didn’t get much sewing in this weekend, as I was pretty far behind on housework (i.e. Mount Laundry). I also had a photoshoot downtown on Sunday and had to edit pictures from a shoot the previous weekend. I have mostly decided to only take a few shoots on a year, and after those fill […]
This summer our friends adopted a little boy, and I was so happy to hear it. I took pictures of their blessing ceremony a few years ago, and I know they will make wonderful parents. As usual, I’m nothing if not timely in making presents. This only took me a few months to get around […]
This is the last of the full outfits for Anya. I may have more forthcoming, but I should sew something for Kailan and then maybe me. This first outfit is a flowerly camo knit with lycra. The green is just a regular cotton knit. The place where I buy fabric has a bit limited lycra selection. […]
Note to self: Next time make her brush her hair before taking pictures. Next in the sewing parade is a few more outfits that I was trying to use unusual and fun fabrics to make them more…FUN. This is due to the “no dresses or ruffles” policy that has been instituted by the small blonde […]
Apparently we have reached that age whereby clothes must be cool. At least for the Girl. My other offspring is a boy, and thusly, really doesn’t care. She said this outfit was in the “cool” category. The pants are made from a stretch twill with burgundy taffeta used for the flower appliques. I made the […]
Firefly lingo – Shiny=Good I finally got a chance to sew this weekend, since it was so flippin hot and humid outside that I sequestered myself in the cool basement. This fabric has been sitting around for a few years, so I decided to make a skirt out of it. At first I thought I […]
