Progress
On a couple of different fronts. I put this little guy together today from this tutorial. Couldn’t be simpler. But now I have the idea of using it the reverse way so Chase can swaddle her baby like mommy. This is going to be part of her big sister gift along with the baby doll with closing eyes that she previously requested. My goal is one more blanket (which I’ve already cut) and two more diapers. I think I can do it. Read the rest of this entry »

WIP’s
WIP’s or works in progress are way better than UFO’s or unfinished objects. And right now I’m working on two. This little guy is the first two and a half inches of one of these. They seem to be coming together pretty quickly but I haven’t worked on them for the last two days because I’ve been too busy feeling sorry for myself and watching tv. Read the rest of this entry »

Popcorn!
Sorry if I’ve been a bit neglectful. I’ve come down with something and have spent the last couple of days more or less being a slug. I hate being sick while I’m pregnant because I worry about all kinds of things I wouldn’t otherwise worry about. Of course, that doesn’t mean I call my ob to put my mind at ease. It means I go back and forth between worrying that something’s wrong and wondering if I’m overreacting. Makes me feel like a maniac. The good news is my regularly scheduled visit is tomorrow so hopefully I can get this off my mind. Read the rest of this entry »

5 Bucks and 20 Minutes
And no one will ever see that plumber’s butt again, cute as it might be. We’re in some kind of size limbo. Chase is stuck somewhere between a 2t and a 3t for pants. Somehow a 2t is too small and a 3t just won’t stay up. Well, no more! Now I can cinch them up tight.
These were quick and easy to make. Just the way I like it. I’m not really supposed to be working on any projects because a) I have to finish up Chase’s costume in time for the big day b) I have last minute party details to think about and c) There are some personal finance matters that I have to attend to. Booo. That’s all I have to say about that. But I let myself make these because they really only took 20 minutes inclusive of the time it took me to run into Joann to grab the webbing.

Dry Run
I wish I could wait for the big unveiling but I am seriously excited about this costume. We had our first fitting today. I was truly convinced that C would take one look at it and say, um, what is that? Somehow though she knew right away oh, it’s a popcorn box. Also sometimes referred to as a popcorn bag. Either way, it doesn’t bother me so long as she likes it. Read the rest of this entry »

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
But before we get to that fun project I thought you might enjoy a sneak peak at the crowns I put together this week. This is a shot of just one of the four (FOUR!) I made this week. Two will go in the shop, one’s being donated for a fund raiser and one, dear friends, is for you! I just have to sort out which ones are which. Read the rest of this entry »

Baby Doll Cloth Diaper Tutorial
Part of my plan for Christmas/birthday/new baby season is a new set of gear for C’s baby. Actually, she has asked for a brand new baby with eyes that close. That’s part of the plan too. But this is scrap buster month over as Sew, Mama, Sew which got me thinking. I made a couple of diapers a while back but nothing too fancy and got to thinking about how to make them better. As a result, I barely slept last night but I did come up with an idea. Read the rest of this entry »

Stepping Out
I’m trying to put some miles on the owls dress while the season is right. Our girl is ready to be out and about in the big city and wearing the poncho her grandma made her too. She’s all set. Except for shoes. She’s going to need a pair of everyday shoes. Something to bridge the gap between her running shoes and her boots. I need shoes too. I can’t even think about shoe shopping this weekend though. Maybe next week. I still haven’t taken the dive into shoe shopping online. Maybe on day. Read the rest of this entry »

Mission Accomplished :: Pajama Party Sew-Along
I totally did it! The nightie is complete but I don’t know why I bothered. It was a lot harder than this easy pattern should have been. I used McCalls 4505 and used view A for the simple slip. It wasn’t difficult for any fault of the pattern and it wasn’t even because I’m not feeling 100% or tired. I actually really liked the pattern and will definitely use it again. It was purely a result of fabric selection. I know now that I NEED Sandra Betzina’s book Fabric Savvy I can’t afford to keep taking it out of the library. Read the rest of this entry »
