A birthday bunny for Tutu!
C’s grandma’s birthday is right around Easter, and she LOVES bunnies, and she’s an avid golfer… I saw a teeny scrap of this golf ball print at M&L last week (about 1/8 of a yard), and bought it to make it into SOMETHING for Tutu, and then realized it would make the cutest toy bunny […]
Nap time!
The monster (whom I love dearly) finally slept, so I was able to make a just-because gift for my gram… She said she had a hard time finding black beaded necklaces, so $12 at Michael’s to buy beads later, I came up with this: The big beads look like lava, and the little ones are […]
The border is done!
ok, hopefully now it’ll measure 112″x112″ 88″ x 88″ was just too small for our Cal King bed…. so I have an inch of white (or, rather, white on white dots) then 7″ of Kona navy then 3″ more white dots on white then I’m planning on binding with the Kona. Purple just looked too […]
It’s done!
I’ll take good photos with a nice camera in the am, but I’m so happy!I think I need/want to add a border, I have some dark blue scraps… A nice “modern” chunky pieced border of dark blue all around… Because my bed is bigger than I thought…. (it’s a California king, so 90″x90″ isn’t quite […]

Ok, so the other day, (gosh, was that just yesterday? yikes!) I showed you this sneak peak… Here’s the finished product! It’s a zip-up hoodie for D. He doesn’t fit anything store bought right now, so why buy and alter when I can just make myself (out of superior materials, tailored to my boy!) He […]

the world’s ugliest muslin
I know I’ve kvetched enough about how hideous this fabric is. and I should totally stop, since I’m the one who ASKED for it (my grandmother thought it was so ugly she was embarrased to offer it to me, but I said, no, ugly sheets make great muslins… but this is beyond ugly, isn’t it?)anyway, […]
