D’s birthday outfit
The front has 3 balloons (one with a mohawk, just like D), painted freehand by my talented husband the back is like a sports jersey, done with freezer paper stencils and the pants have balloons all over them. I really wanted D to have a special outfit for his party, but couldn’t find cake/birthday fabric […]
D’s b-day cakes
So here’s the train cake I made for D’s 3rd bday. He wanted a train party, so obviously he needed a train cake. Now, yes, I could have bought a Thomas cake for less work/money, but a) I’m a pretty decent baker, and I wanted yumminess, not store bought fluff, b) I don’t like buying […]
Justin’s Wedding Quilt
I’ve been making quilts for our college friends to celebrate their weddings… this is the most recent one, and I’m super proud of it.it’s a copy of the invitation (which I’ve misplaced, so you can’t see how awesome of an enlarging job I did. Take my word for it, it’s SPOT ON!) I used reverse […]
C’s birthday
I’m learning how to decorate… meaning, I played with the decorator tips I own… So, conveniently, my husband’s birthday was a week before my son’s birthday party, when I wanted to do a train cake (pics to come), and I needed to practice using my tips.Here’s my C’s b-day cake.inspired by Martha Stewart’s new Cupcake […]
Note the daintily raised pinkie
As she ravenously attacks the ribbon tags on her ball.
This one is to prevent sibling jealousy
It's just the fabric beach ball from Purl Bee (I didn't make the circles for the end because I am proud of my matching points). I wants to test my technique on this plain one before I madenthe taggy one. Turns out, super easy!
My latest…
It's a crazy taggy ball for my teething baby! She loves it! I think I'll have to make a tutorial for this, cause it's so fast and fun!
finished!
with only a few oopses! (I had to undo these straps, and redo them correctly … oh well. I got better at reinforcing seams?)I added a basic pocket on one side of the lining, and two zippered pockets on the other side.why do something easy when you can complicate it, right? Overall, I love it, […]
The Highbrow Hobo Bag…
I LOVE bags. I’m planning to make my dream diaper bag sometime soon. something that has LOTS of pockets, but matches a purse, and is cloth diapering friendly, and snack friendly, but not bottle friendly, since I don’t use bottles (why bother when I have boobs?).I’ve never made bags that I like, though, mine always […]
4 little owls…
Somebody gave somebody in this house a present in this gift bag a long time ago. I don’t know what it was, or who it was from (feel free to remind me and earn some credit), but D LOVES this bag a LOT. It’s just a typical gift bag, but it has these CUTE little […]
