A little boy quilt
I always have lots of scraps (sometimes lots of actual yardage) leftover after I make a quilt top for Robert Kaufman, so I decided to use some of the smaller scraps to make a quilt for the boy I am gestating right now… here’s the view looking down right now…. the Bean “helped” me whip […]
Radio silence…
I’m working on stuff for Robert Kaufman that I can’t post about now, but I took pics of these cool hexie selvages for my friend Jules, and thought y’all might wanna seethem….
Fabric paint
I cut the ends off some stalks of celery, and was reminded that the ends make awesome rose stamps… so the Bean and I pulled out some plain home-dec fabric and some fabric paint, and had at it… I did one side, she did the other. I think it’ll be a new bag.
Final prototype
OOOOH! Squee! I am in LOOOOOOVE. My new bag is exactly what I want, and I just whipped this final puppy up in about an hour (not including cutting, which might have taken almost 1/2 an hour). Simple and clean and FUNCTIONAL and (if I do say so myself) CUTE!!! Here it is empty: It’s […]
Bag planning…
We went downtown yesterday to buy leather. Man, shopping on a busy day in the garment district with 2 kids is stressful. the Bean talked me into that pre-ruffled magenta knit. It’s going to be a very simple a-line dress. I need a new handbag. I originally thought I might just remake this Hobo International […]
Its growing…
Almost as slowly quickly as my belly. what is it about quilts in progress that’s is sooooo attractive to kitties?
Tangerine Tango WIP
I don’t think I’ll meet the March deadline for the Tangerine Tango Challenge, but I’m having fun working with these paper pieced bits. I wasn’t sure I’d like it, because basting isn’t super fun, but I’ve got a bunch basted now, and I like whip stitching them together, and I LOVE taking out the basting […]
Valentines motivation
As a pregnant, SAHM of 2 littles, I’m not having much energy to sew at night these days… But I really want to make up some valentines bags for our preschool teachers… I cut these strips this morning, and am hoping that by posting these this morning, I’ll feel obliged to whip up some pieced/quilted […]
An attempt at a clutch wallet
I’m not horribly embarrassed by this first attempt. I definitely learned some things along the way, and now the bean has a new play wallet! I also got a GIANT box o fabric to play with. Yay!
random bits and bobs
This post could also be acurately labeled as “Things that make me happy:” I got a new planner last week (well, I picked it up last week, but I ordered it several weeks ago) It’s the LIFE planner by Erin Condren, and I chose to put my own picture on the cover (free […]
