Block of the day
it seems like journalling is becoming a thing these days, and part of me wants to jump right in and play along, either with lists or special books or whatever, but another part of me remembers the Project Life album I requested 4 years ago that remains unopened, etc, and thinks perhaps something simpler would […]
Another nursing-dress muslin
I had the sick 6 y/o take these pics, so my apologies for the quality (but yay him for being my photographer!) I made this dress up last night, based sorta on the schoolhouse tunic I wore yesterday. it’s another wearable muslin (this fabric is by Darlene Zimmerman for Robert Kaufman, and is a 1930’s floral ditsy […]
Schoolhouse tunic
I need more nursing-friendly clothing. I emailed Meg at Sew Liberated, and she was super helpful about how to use her patterns for nursing. So I bought the Schoolhouse Tunic, and last night I made a muslin (a wearable muslin, oxymoronical as it may be). I think I need to take it in in a […]
Edges…
I’m trying to figure out how/where to stop on my Tangerine Tango EPP top. not the side, just the edges…. In theory, every hex should have a square on each side, and then triangles to fill the gaps… If I only do completed hexies, though, 2 of the sides have these hugely uneven edges: and […]
Changing pad
I needed a simple changing pad that would easily fit in my bag so I made one (pencil for scale), using this awesome red/white print (Pop Posies by Nancy Mims for Robert Kaufman, coming soon). I love this print. It looked like plus signs to me until I used it, and now it looks like […]
new workspace….
I have a LOT of fabric. and right now, most of it looks like this: it started in organized bins and tubs… Quilting Cottons, Knits, Home Dec, etc…. but as my stash expanded, the bins started overflowing… so now we’re working on something like this: I’m slowly folding all my fabric onto comic book boards […]
Double -ended zippered bag
D needed a pencil bag, and was told to put pencils, erasers, and markers in them. I had this idea to make a bag that’s double ended, but searching on the internet for “double-ended bag” or pouch or anything double-ended only produces boxing results…. I’m not sure if I just don’t know the right search […]
Baby pants, etc
there’s something ridiculously appealing about baby butts. .. He’s way too small for the basket, but it’s so cute, we use it in the front yard when his big sibs want to ride bikes out there… he’s so teeny and smooshy! he’s had his first photoshoot (for the sleep sack pattern I still haven’t actually […]
catch up.
Sooo, it was really hot, and I was knitting a lot, and I wound up having to take my knitting to the hospital, and finishing it there, while holding this little dude. and then I came home, and made a quilt, but totally forgot to take better pics of it before giving it away…. but […]
I love Kona colors….
Nightfall, Buttercup, Bahama, Azure, Aqua, Peacock, Turquoise, and Jade… I’m soooo thrilled that I have the new Kona color yard. Just looking at it gets me inspired… I’ve decided my favorite color is Lagoon. And my bedroom is the exact color of Pacific. I cut up a bunch o strips of the aforementioned colors, and […]
