Anya’s bubblegum pink explosion room

By on February 9, 2010

As you know, we did a lot of painting in the last 6 months.  To that end, I bought the paint chip sampler from Sherwin Williams to make it easier to pick colors at home.  I pulled all of the pink ones and Anya chose hot pink to be the color of her room.  Ummm…no.  That […]

Christmas craftiness

By on December 15, 2009

On several blogs I have seen the crayons remolded in a muffin or cookie tin.  I though this would be a great little Christmas gift for some of the little ones in our lives.  Not a big gift, but something fun when we get together at parties and such during the holidays. I put Kailan […]

Happy pictures…finally!

By on December 7, 2009

Well, I finished up my scarf this past week  and it is a bit short…so, it goes to the girl.  She was happy to have her scarf and I got a happy modeling shot of her with her new hat and scarf.  Yay!  She’s smiling and not being temperamental!  Yes, the picture is not phenomenal, […]

More looming and a little sewing

By on December 1, 2009

I had grand plans for this holiday 4-day weekend we had.  I got into my looms a bit more than I planned and I made 2 sets of armwarmers, a hat for Kai, a hat for me, a little neck scarf/collar thingy and I have another scarf half done on the loom.  I also made a […]

Made for mama

By on November 24, 2009

Stuff for me this time.  I actually only made the skirt this week, and the top and wrap are from past stuff I’ve done but never photographed.  It’s really hard to photograph stuff for me since I generally have barely enough time to get ready in the morning, much less take a photograph.  I went […]

A little bit of progress

By on November 17, 2009

I have one baby blanket done and delivered.  His Daddy is a hunter, so I thought they would like this one.  Those little froggies are so cute, too!  This is flannel and minkee with a satin border: I made one princessy-tulley-shiny dress.  I’m not completely happy with how it turned out, but not sure I’ve […]

Random sewing and stuff I got done

By on November 3, 2009

Well, yet again this past week was busy.  I did manage to eek out a few pair of pants for Kailan.  I have two more pair cut up for him that I need to get made yet.  Then I made the kids their treat bags, too.  That was super simple, so I won’t profess any […]

Asian-inspired cross-front button-front dress

By on October 20, 2009

A sewing forum I frequent is having a pattern contest this month, so I thought I would join in.  I only have to make it in one size, so that takes a lot of work out of it.  I made this dress a few times this spring, so it was something I already made before.  […]

You can never have enough dresses

By on October 13, 2009

At least that is what Anya probably feels like.  Well, I guess I do, too, since I have so much fun making them. 😉 I actually made this dress a few weeks ago and forgot I hadn’t posted it yet.  It didn’t get posted with the rest of the sewing frenzy because when Anya put […]

Not much to show for the week

By on October 6, 2009

I just have one measly little baby blanket to show this week. It’s cute, is it not? My sister and I went to a baby shower for our cousin’s wife on Saturday. It is their first.  A nice snuggly pink blanket.  The flannel here is really soft, in addition to the cuddle fleece (aka minky, […]
