Happy Spring!
I used my Silhouette to quickly cut out some "springy" shapes from cardstock. I need to collect more pastel paper, as this purply blue and pale blue are the only shades even remotely pastel colored… Or just wait for summer…
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?
