a silly bean…
I made my mom this apron… she likes aprons, and when I saw the fabric, I knew she HAD to have it… it’s a pretty simple apron, with a heart shaped pocket, and the waistband/ruffle/pocket are all with the red fabric I’m still working through… when I tried to model it for a pic, The […]
more stirings!
I love string quilts. they’re sooooo sooooo pretty!I think they’re extra special because you make them from scraps (usually…. I bought the fabrics for the wedding quilt I made last summer), and to me, that’s the best part of a quilt, having bits and pieces of memories all stitched together…anyway, one of my Bees asked […]
finished embroidery
my husband’s grandmother loves bunnies, and his grandfather loves DC-2 airplanes (he was a pilot, in the air force, and then a commercial pilot, for his whole career, even flying Air Force 2!) so I made my super talented hubs draw this picture of a bunny flying a plane… and then I embroidered it on […]
christmasy goodness…
most of what I’m working on can’t be shown till after a certain upcoming holiday…but here’s what I’ve made to decorate my own house this year…a tree skirt (the Bean really liked this sparkly pinecone fabric, and I couldn’t think of what else to do with it… we needed a treeskirt anyway… no. we didn’t.

a little gnomy-gnome….
I stitched up this gnome for D a while ago, but he asked me for a blanket and pillow for his little gnomy.LUCKILY, I won a small charm pack from the fabric designer right around the same time, so I sewed up all the little squares (perfect 25 of them), backed them with D’s favorite […]
Driftwood collecting…
I want to make C a driftwood wreath for Xmas, so I coerced my dad to accompany us to the beach this afternoon. D was a great helper, finding lots of driftwood bits for me, while the Bean and grandpa explored the tide pools. I haven been posting much lately, as I'm busy being one […]

A blue shirt for D
Baby shower!
I made these gifts a long time ago, but haven't posted because I hadn't seen the mommy-to-be…I made a waldorfy-cuddle doll, silk and wool, dyed by my and Darren with food coloring, so it'll be safe for a little mouth to chew/suck on… D liked the tiedye effects he achieved, and the Bean liked the […]
