Crockett better be a good sleeper….
I amde my kiddos a new boat! and the Bean a new place to play her current favorite game: lost Baby Hug Monster! can you guess what it’s really going to be? It’s a Moses basket for Baby Crockett! I used this pattern, which I had used before to make this Dr Seuss basket for […]
Robert Kaufman Lawn update
People keep asking about the durability of the new Robert Kaufman lawn (that I clearly rave about constantly, else why would so many people ask)… early in May, I made this dress for the Bean. so 2 months later, it’s still unhemmed, (though I did manage to iron it today before she put it on) […]
Valentine dress for the Bean
working the kinks out of another dress idea… this is the second attempt. the first went prefectly, but I had no pattern, and didn’t write anything down… recreating is always harder than just winging it… luckily, she’s cute no matter what. fabric is RK pomegranate and some soon-to be released hearts (scraps from when I […]
a BUNCH of Sailor Pants for D
The boy-o put in a request for lots more sailor pants, which I love for summer, because a) they cover his knees so he gets cut up less, b) they look really stinkin’ cute on him. Right? I cut out a big pile on Sunday, and sewed a lot yesterday, so today he has 5 […]

Hat: thanks to my awesome friend Alissa, Shirt and Pants, made of Robert Kaufman Essex Linen scraps from D’s costume. (shirt is Newborn Kimono shirt from Purl Bee, pants […]
Vintage Davy Crockett
I bought a vintage Davy Crockett costume pattern on etsy a few weeks ago, and then got ahold of some gorgeous Essex Linen (in Camel), and gave up on finding nice vinyl or leather fringe, and accepted the faux stuff they sell at Joann. Luckily it came together really well, and the boy-o woke up […]
Dr. Seuss Sweet Pea Sleep Pod
Moses basket made for the RK market booth, pattern called the Sweet Pea Sleep Pod… probably the most involved thing I’ve ever made, but LOOK how cool! It came out pretty perfectly, considering I made it (hurriedly) in a day and a night… the insides were all cotton prints, and the outside was SLICKER (RK […]
Finishing.
I’m trying to knock stuff off my to-do list (so that I can justify adding to it!) first up was this found quilt top… I used leftovers from the new Lazy Daisy Baskets line, by Darlene Zimmerman, with this cute Mother Goose panel… I like the back better than the front…. …probably because the front […]
Overwhelmed by WIP’s Wednesday…
I had to take a blood test at the Dr this morning, and took some quilty books to look at while waiting for the hour to pass… As I did so, I reminded myself that I have several unfinished projects… I made a list… this is stuff that’s already been cut/started (but just fabric/yarn purchased/saved […]
Seat belt strap cover thingys
I don’t know what these are called…. But I made 3 of them last night in well under an hour. They sell them at target (UGLY) for $11/pair. I like mine better, (and so do the kiddos) I just grabbed scraps out of my scrap bin for the squares, and the binding from binding scraps…. […]
