This outfit was from mid-May and it was still quite cool in our area. It actually still is cooler than we would like…summer seems to be slow in coming. We join a CSA (community supported agriculture) each summer and usually by this time we have had our first delivery of fresh organic veggies. We won’t […]
I seem to be on a roll! Well, if it is a roll that takes a lot of time, that is. These purses definitely are not for the faint of heart, and they take me a good 6-8 hours to make. A bit of hand sewing and piece work is required. I love how this […]
So…I have sewn a few other things over the past few months, but they are rather unimpressive. I put elastic into these shorts for the Girl. She is a skinny minny, and these shorts didn’t have the button elastic in them. I just opened up the waistband and threaded elastic into them. I got them […]
When I “decide” to draw things that I put on pieces of clothing or purses…I have a very loose idea of what I want. Most of the things I draw in less than a minute. Usually, it takes me about 10 seconds. I am all about being quick. I have bought sketch pads over the […]
You know if I could just get up earlier, I could get a few outfit pictures in the morning. But, NO. Sleep. I love sleep. 🙂 So…I do have something to show. A half-hearted picture of an outfit, but also…New Purse! That I made! I love how this one turned out. I upcycled an old […]
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 […]

Minky and flannel baby blankets (pssssst…new tutorial!)
By Stacy on March 29, 2013So…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!
That time of year again… I usually take an annual glammed up self portrait around my birthday. A nice picture of me that I can frame up for the hubby and just for posterity’s sake. I usually forget to print them, though. This year I actual have several “self portraits” due to this blog, but […]
