LELLOW!
the Bean always physically chooses pink, but if you ASK her what color she wants/likes/etc, she says yellow. so when we were looking for flannel to make her pajamas, she told me she wanted yellow, and then we found this fabric with white and pink butterflies on a yellow background… it’s not meant to be […]
Granny Pants!
Or Grandma's pants, recycled. My gram unearthed an old (bellbottom) pair of pants in this awesome Salmon Pink denim. So I cut them up and made the Bean a pair of pants. She loves the cargo pockets, and the color, and I love the sturdy denim (and free price).
Playmat!
I really wanted to give the kiddos a playmat for Xmas, mostly because D wanted this one, that he had seen at Lowes, but he already has ALL the Cars cars, and that’s just not a comfy rug, plus, I wanted something that was OUR neighborhood…. so I found this on etsy. It’s super cool, […]
Cabin Stitching.
We're up in Lake Arrowhead for the weekend, to let the kiddos experience some snow fun. Luckily, I got to spend the afternoon working on this little dude, and I just finished him, (all except his hand, cause I forgot to pack some tan floss). Now I'll work on some hexies, I'm still basting.
C’s Xmas shirt
the Negroni pattern from Collette Patterns is my new favorite men’s shirt pattern.D chose the fabric, which is pure linen, at the Cotton Shop, (which is now closed, boo!), and I made it when C went out of town for a weekend…it was my first (and hopefully last) time matching plaids. I used the free […]

RAINBOW BRIGHT
TADA!aren’t they SOOOO awesome!?!?!?!? it’s funny, I decided to do them after I saw these, but I don’t have any pink, so I used yellow (the bean’s other favorite color, and a color I don’t particularly like, so I don’t mind using up the skein), and they totally reminded me vaguely of Rainbow Brite, but […]
a silly bean…
I made my mom this apron… she likes aprons, and when I saw the fabric, I knew she HAD to have it… it’s a pretty simple apron, with a heart shaped pocket, and the waistband/ruffle/pocket are all with the red fabric I’m still working through… when I tried to model it for a pic, The […]
more stirings!
I love string quilts. they’re sooooo sooooo pretty!I think they’re extra special because you make them from scraps (usually…. I bought the fabrics for the wedding quilt I made last summer), and to me, that’s the best part of a quilt, having bits and pieces of memories all stitched together…anyway, one of my Bees asked […]
finished embroidery
my husband’s grandmother loves bunnies, and his grandfather loves DC-2 airplanes (he was a pilot, in the air force, and then a commercial pilot, for his whole career, even flying Air Force 2!) so I made my super talented hubs draw this picture of a bunny flying a plane… and then I embroidered it on […]
