My niece gave birth to an adorable little baby boy in March, and I sewed up a few things for him at the time. Today there was a Sip and See for everyone to meet the little guy, since they moved back up north from Tennessee. Yay! My Sister-in-law (the grandma) gave me some pieces […]
I love making these little blankets for babies. It takes me about an hour to make one, and they seem to be well-loved. I have friends and relatives that tell me they are amongst their kids’ favorite blankets. Plus they last a long time. One of the reasons: I do a lot of stitching. There […]
I seem to be procrastinating more and more, so this diaper bag is a little late. The little bundle of love was born a few weeks ago, so I am sure they already have a diaper bag. Now they get another! It’s not like you aren’t going to use them when you have kids. I […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hey, look…I sewed! This little blanket is for Brian’s cousin’s little boy. I hope he will grow to like hunting. It is bound to happen with how avid his daddy is about it. Camo minky, plaid flannel and cream store bought satin bias binding Then I also got a skirt sewed up for me. One of my regular-no-thinking-about-it […]
I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
When you can have minky fabric shedding all over the place?? Oh boy, does this stuff shed when it is cut…but it is so heavenly soft! If I were to own a mink coat, I bet it would feel this soft. These are definitely fun gifts to make for little babies. These blankets are for […]
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 […]
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 […]
