Spring Top, more animals, more roses
I whipped this sucker out in 2 hours tonight. LOVE IT. I used the pattern from the new issue of STITCH magazine (though I tweaked it a bit)… the turquoise is a rayon/spandex tissue jersey remnant from Joanns, and the eyelet is an AMAZING silk cotton from Mood. (I treated myself to a stop there […]
summer clothes (to be) for the Bean
My daughter has begun to be very aware of her clothes, she is determined to choose her own outfits… (she’ll be 18 months at the end of the month.) She’s obsessed with PINK! such a girl! I’ve been so careful to ensure that all the colors of the rainbow recieved equal representation in her wardrobe, […]
D and I made cookies today… we used the recipe from “Best Recipes” by America’s Test Kitchen (my favorite cook book EVER!), but instead of mixing in the chips, D smooshed them on top… He loves cracking eggs, so he did all the egg cracking, though I did the seperating, and he also did all […]
This is why….
I need a baby-proof wallet. She did it again. I’m ordering hardware tomorrow.
30-minute pants…
I did my workout tonight (yoga, which I like, but it’s 2 hours long! plus a shower, leaving me not much time to play!), and then C said he was coming home from work early (sad that midnight-ish is early, huh?), so I knew better than to start cranking on the western shirt for him… […]
More Easter prep…
while the Bean took a (short) nap today, we colored eggs… C and D colored easter eggs… (I made C wear an apron, and I only have girly aprons…) this was D’s first time, so mostly we did plain eggs, but he was thrilled by them. look how pretty! (they’re drying on D’s geo-board) there […]
Wet felted Easter eggs…
I was clearly overly ambitious. My plans were to knock out 18 of thesetonight… I did 6. Will start earlier tomorrow night… (based on the tutorial found here)
Easter prep
here’s a sneak peak at what I’ve done so far… Hopefully I won’t run out of steam, as I still have lots planned….check my flickr for details and more pics….
Easter basket and eggs…
pink stripes for the bean blue stripes for D eggs for both! 10 eggs done, 25 to go, and both baskets done. I loved making the baskets, but they’re really small. I might need to make more, larger….I’m gonna try wet felting some eggs tomorrow, and I need to put faces on the bunnies for […]
Sunhat for a baby with a big head.
D’s head is already bigger than mine,(he’s outgrown his adult small bike helmet already), so it’s hard to find sunhats that are appealing, age apropriate, and will fit him. I made up this pattern last year, but he outgrew it, obvi. Here’s the new version. Green cotton seersucker on the “inside,” (it’s reversible, but I […]
