For the baby boy

By on September 23, 2008

Although I have several things I have made lately, I will have to settle for showing just this one thing today because the shots of everything else is lacking.  I made this baby blanket for a friend who had her 2nd little boy in July.  You don’t really need nice warm blankies in July, so […]

A pretty present

By on September 2, 2008

On Saturday one of our friend’s turned 29…again. 😉  I hadn’t made a necklace in a long time so I decided to pull out my beads and see what I had to work with.  The necklace and earrings I made are bronze beads with silver findings.  I  couldn’t just leave it at that, so I […]

A lacy little number

By on August 19, 2008

As per the usual, when I go to create something I keep on changing it up as I go.  I started out planning on making a simple twirl skirt.  Well, then I looked at the box of laces my Grandma Jo gave me, since she wasn’t using them, and decided to throw some of them […]

A lovely surprise

By on August 12, 2008

Yesterday I clicked over to Indie Tutes and found that I won a drawing for her first pattern-zine.  Yay me!  Take a wander around her blog and store.  She is a great seamstress and shares freely with her tutorials on all aspects of sewing for little ones.  I found her site on Craftster, which is a […]

A few more items for mommy

By on August 5, 2008

I made these a few weekends ago for me.  I didn’t make anything last weekend, because I was very busy doing something I hadn’t planned or wanted to do.  I have a post about that lovely experience set up for Friday.  Curious? 😉 This is pink froofrooness, and that is a non-word.  It describes this […]

I made a haul

By on July 29, 2008

Last week I had a few days off on vacation since my office was being recarpeted.  I needed to vacate the premises, so what better reason to take some time off?  I made my annual trek up to a fabric outlet in the northern suburbs about 20 some miles away.  The mileage isn’t so far,  […]

A plethora of pretties

By on July 15, 2008

So what do you think?  Would you choose these colors for a baby girl blanket?  It is again the ultra soft cuddly fabric.  You just want to curl up with it and go sleep…even though it is 90 degrees outside and incredibly humid.  This is their first girl and first child, so I figured they […]

4th of July outfits

By on July 8, 2008

Just in time for the 4th I got these outfits completed.  I only had the fabric since about March.  This year I am the queen of squeaking by.  Wait…maybe not.  I’ve been woefully behind on birthday presents/cards, my scrapbooking is seriously getting behind and I can’t seem to find time to work out.  Which, my […]

I think it will fit this time (I hope)

By on May 27, 2008

This is dress #3 for my friend’s daughter…I’m pretty sure it will fit this time.  In fact it may actually be a bit big for her, and that is a good thing.  At least she could grow into it!  I did the same as last week, but also added some little satin roses at the […]

Catching up in the sewing room

By on May 13, 2008

You would think that after such a nice vacation I would be well rested and ready to tackle this list.  Well, I did make a little headway, but not much since I added new things to the list. First off, I made this purse the Thursday night before our trip, since I needed a bigger […]
