Little Red Riding Hood
I started this one about 6 months ago. it was supposed to be a Christmas present for the Bean. I was super scared of the faux fur, but also insistent that it be included… I was also afraid of using buttons or snaps, and having it be a choking hazard. SO I made velcro flaps to close it. Please […]
leather wasp bag glamor shots
I made m hubs pull out the lights and seamless backdrop last weekend to take pictures of my bag… I love it even more now that it has a clasp at the top… sewing all this leather was really hard for my regular sewing machine, but super easy for my industrial machine… but I had […]
heavy duty sewing….
since my industrial is in the back of the garage, I can’t really use it except on the weekends when C is home and playing with the kiddos… I’ve been trying to take my time on my latest bag, and really just do a good job, without rushing it’s been really fun, but it’s super […]
more WIPs….
I’ve finished sewing this little puppy up. it measures in at a whopping 12.5″ x 13.5″ so… yeah, lots of little squares (they’re all about .5″ square…my math must be way off though, bc in my head that means 700 squares, and that can’t be right, can it?) i love the way the back looks […]
One Sock DONE!
I finished the first sock, of my very own sock pattern, for C’s b-day socks… the yarn is a delicious teal-y color, (maybe moonlight?), silk and wool blend from Blackberry Ridge. I LOOOOVE their yarns.I’m about 1/2way through the foot of the other sock. and I have 3 months before his birthday, so finishing shouldn’t […]
Shamrock garland!
I cut out a bunch of large shamrocks for D’s class to paint, and decided to cut out some small ones to try making a garland… I don’t know why it took me so long to make one. seriously, the cutter made me 18 shamrocks (3 pages of green paper) in like 5 minutes… and […]
sewing machine cover?
Um, so I don’t have a cover for my sewing machine. it’s bad, I know, but I’ve just never bothered…. SO, I grabbed some of this quilters grid from the remnant bin at Joann, and cut up some teeny tiny squares.I just finished sewing up all the seams one way…. I have to use the […]
PBNS apron
the older kids at D’s nursery school are called Red Birds… D’s class are the Yellow Birds… I made this apron as a thank you gift for the current Board President… The Bean really liked it, and kept asking it if I made it for HER school, or D’s school.
helicopter BOOK
So, I saw THESEand fell in LOVE.I decided to try my hand at making a journal… I need to improve my binding technique, but all in all… it’s pretty cool, right?
DONE. DONE DONE DONE!
Prepare yourself for the another of MANY posts on this quilt. (with more to come, I’m sure. Clearly I need some close ups. and pics of the back. and it’s in the washing machine right now, so we’ll need post-washing pics too, right?) here it is laying on a hill at the duck park…. it […]
