(Like my poses? Juniper was my coach, haha!) A couple of weeks ago I went to Goodwill looking for something I need for a super secret project. That never works by the way, going to Goodwill with something specific in mind. Never ever works. But what I DID find was this fantastic dress! I fell…
Remember these swings I mentioned wanting to make? We finally bought some wood and went for it! Of course, we are cheapos, so we bought whatever was in the discounted scrap wood pile at Menard’s. Which means I couldn’t follow the tutorial exactly because the measurements were all different… It was such an irritating process…
I got a new computer at work the other day and while I was copying all of my files over, I found these snapshots and they made me smile. Last Christmas I made each of my sisters a quilted zipper pouch, and stuck some small presents inside. I had fun coming up with all of…
Remember this shirt that I started making Flynn two months ago? It’s been sitting on my sewing table since January, all cut out and ready to go. I finally finished it this weekend! I think it looks SO cute on him, even though I seriously screwed up the neck line. At first I didn’t sew…
See? I told you. Queen of Procrastination. I had these guys cut out for a week, and I was planning on posting them with a pattern/tutorial. Instead I ended up sewing them together real quick this morning before running out the door for work. I figured I was already an hour late, what’s an extra…
I’m maybe a little bit too excited about this whole mini blog series. Just having two straight weeks of blog posts scheduled and ready to go is kind of incredible by itself. And the fact that this week’s Project Run and Play theme is Valentine’s Day gave me a perfect post to start off with!…
I have a few friends who are expecting babies this spring. One of which I am throwing a baby shower for this Saturday! Kristen and her husband have two little boys, and she is having a girl! It’s been fun planning the party with my friend Maria, and I’m super excited to decorate my house…
Ok, so I’m totally cheating! I’ve been sick all week, so I didn’t have a chance to finish my sew along for Project Run & Play. Which stinks because it’s BOYS week and poor Flynn definitely gets the short end of the handmade stick. I started sewing him a t-shirt (more on that below!) but…
Want to see some AMAZING photos? Well you’ll have to look somewhere else because this is the best I’ve got today! Last night I finished sewing the buttons on my sew along submission for Project Run & Play. I love stripes and polka dots! So I was excited to join in this week. Anyway. So,…
My mother-in-law gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday to buy some craft books. It took me literally an entire day to choose which ones I wanted to buy… I finally settled with “We Make Dolls!” by Jenny Doh, “How to Make Stuffed Animals” by Sian Keegan, and “Wee Wonderfuls” by Hillary Lang…
