So I’ve been thinking about doing something. Writing something that is. Something that I don’t sit down and bang out on the fly. Something that is well thought out and coherent. Something that requires planning. Planning… right. So all I have to do is organize my thoughts a little. Maybe on a piece of paper with a pen. I’ve been thinking about it for about three days now and have yet to make a move. Par for the course I guess. Read the rest of this entry »

Thinking But Not Doing

Two Parties
Two cakes, two outfit changes, two, maybe three goodie bags. The weekend of many parties. So many parties that I could hardly keep it all straight and almost showed up two hours early for one. Whoops.
I have plenty of things on my to do list but I’m recovering tonight from all the time I spent in the last few days cutting felt into tiny pieces. Today’s birthdays were for two of Chase’s very special friends so we made some very special gifts. Chase even helped me do some sewing on the machine.
The thing about making surprises is the waiting. As soon as I pull stuff off the machine I want to run right out and give it to the intended recipient. Sometimes before I even cut off the threads and finish up properly. These two projects didn’t involve too much sewing but I did kill an entire bottle of fabric glue.

I Won’t Mention It Again
Two hours ago I was bone tired and ready to pack it in. Instead of going to bed I stayed up late to eat cake and figured I’d pop in here for a minute. I promise this is the last batch of tie dye. They’re a gift for a new wee little babe that’s on the way. Read the rest of this entry »

The End Of Ugly Gliders
So Erin totally called me out on my empty promise to write up a tutorial for how to recover the cushions on a glider. I kind of do that all the time. But, I’m officially taking a break from my tie dye to write this. Read the rest of this entry »

About Today
I cannot believe that it’s 9 already. Totally ridiculous. I’m torn over Top Chef’s new time. I used to think it was on too late but now that it’s on earlier it kind of makes the night feel like it’s over too soon. I’m just glad that I have some guacamole to eat while I watch so I don’t have to sit here salivating. Read the rest of this entry »

I Have To Say What I Feel
I love a nightie with vintage appeal. I made this almost 2 years ago and never mentioned it. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that, since Chase looked like this when I first made it, it must have been too big to go into the rotation. But it fits just right now. Read the rest of this entry »

Fini
Right before I turned the thread snips on myself and poked my own eyes out I managed to finish it up. I’m ready to pack it up and send it off tomorrow. Phew. That was… fun. It was fun, but such hard work. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 6 :: Quick Pants
Maybe the reason I haven’t made anything for Avery yet is because I can barely resist waking Chase up in the middle of the night to try stuff on and the urge is even worse when the clothes are really cute and tiny. I was feeling a little guilty about my one sided work so I decided it was time to do something about it. I really wanted to make her a sunhat but none of the fifty patterns that I have been collecting for exactly that purpose are quite right. Read the rest of this entry »

When The Moon Is In The Seventh House
I tell her act normal and she gives me this. I’m really so happy with how the dress turned out and I’m glad to have one completely finished project to show for the few hours of work that I put in over the course of the week. Now I need to spend some time going through the Flikr pool to see what everyone else was up to. The best news is that after initially telling me that she wasn’t ready to put it on, she asked me where her pretty dress was and put it on! Then later she told Danielle that her mom made it for her! I never get tired of hearing that. Makes all the effort worth it. Read the rest of this entry »
