Shh, don’t look, Christopher!
My hand quilting would progress much faster if I were not being assisted by this ball of orange fluff.
Project bag for knitting…
I found this super cute fabric at Momen+ a dew weeks ago, just a remnant, but I med a lined project bag to hold my knitting. The ruler print is super helpful. I made one slightly larger in brown for my gram to gift to a knitting friend too. So handy!I might make one more […]
Slowing down…
I've done my MIL, my husbie, my mom, my son, & father's day… Only my wedding anniversary is left this month.Since I'm almost done, I decided to chill for a little while and pull out my knitting. I havent touched it for a few weeks, but I have the legs done, just started on the […]
A farm cake…
D wanted a farm party for his birthday. Obvi, that requires a farm cake. We put in all the (plastic)animals he sees at the farm, and a farmer, (him), and a field of dirt to dig in. Of course, the real farm has chain link fences separating the pens, but piped chocolate wooden rail fences […]

Sketchbook shirt and shorts
I use the new(ish) Oliver + S boys pattern, and made this shirt and shorts. I doubt D will EVER wear them together (unless I force the issue), but I used some of the Heather Bailey (ordered online) stripe to line the pockets of the linen/cotton blend shorts (fabric from Joanns)
D’s birthday western shirt
I used the Sketchbook shirt as a basic pattern, (perhaps to my folly, as I haven’t tried it on him yet)… the mustard colored fabric is a linen-cotton blend from Joann’s, bought to match the Heather Ross print I bought at Momen a few weeks ago… it’s called “rabbits in race cars,” I think, regardless, […]
Paper flowers
I made the pastel bouquet about a year ago from a Martha Stewart kit bought at michaels. It was so fun that I immediately ordered 2ply crepe, but it took me till tonight to start making them. It's hard to believe these are made of paper, they look SO real!
coloring wallets…
Jennifer Casa has these patterns for sale on Etsy (LOOOOOVE the strawberry fabric, don’t you?), and since they’re sort-of part of my mission to make the perfect note-pad-y thing for myself, and since D’s birthday is approaching rapidly, I bought the pattern and whipped it up on Sunday while D was playing outside with C […]
Busy Busy Busy!
Had to go to Momen+ today to get supplies for a commisioned project, and stocked up on some of Heather Ross's new line Far Far Away II. LOVE IT. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
