Last weekend I had a mini craft night with my Juniper. She chose a doll from one of my new books, picked out the fabric to use, helped me trace and cut the pieces and sat on my lap while I sewed her up. She did good for the most part, but got a little…
I finished this dress last night for week 1 of Project Run and Play. I brought it to work with me today with the intent of taking some nice pictures on my lunch break, since it is already dark by the time I get home from work these days. (Hate that…) Well, with my luck,…
For my birthday this year (and I’m thinking I’ll make it a tradition!) I had a Craft Night with a bunch of family and friends. It was a lot of fun having so many loved ones in our home at the same time. That is my favorite part of parties. And we sewed a few…
Look! A sewing project from this month that I can actually share! (As in, it’s not a Christmas gift for someone in my family, haha) Last week we had the coolest carolers ever. After singing (This song! I laughed SO hard. Loved it. And then this song. They are awesome.) their smallest daughter ran up…
I decided last night to make some of these cute cardboard letters as a Christmas gift for my niece. They are awesome because you just use old boxes and scraps of fabric. Both of which I have a TON of. They are a lot of work, but they really aren’t that bad. But by the…
Like most little girls, and lots of grown men, Juniper is quite obsessed with My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. As soon as I saw this ridiculously awesome Rainbow Dash costume on craftiness is not optional, I knew Juniper needed to be a pony. And since Flynn made a perfect little sidekick, we went with…
One more wedding-related post, for now anyways. As if the wedding weren’t last minute enough, Kim emailed me on Thursday to let me know that I was still going to be a bridesmaid and I needed a purple dress. So off to the thrift store I went!! (Always a good thing in my book.) The…
Tuesday nights are definitely becoming my favorite nights. Even if I start the night in a cruddy mood (much like last night..) by the time Lindsay leaves, I’m in a darn good mood. There’s nothing quite like sewing to classic rock with someone to laugh with. Last night was a night of miracles! I sewed…
It’s a miracle! I finished my submission for this week’s Project Run & Play sew-along! The sew-along is something that I have been wanting to participate in for a long time. I usually just watch PR&P from a distance and vote for my favorites. It’s such a great series, I love seeing what the contestants…
My husband’s step-sister is expecting her first baby this year. I wanted to make her a gift so I sent her a bunch of links to cute baby things that I could sew and asked her to pick whichever she wanted. (That way I’d be sure it was something she liked. I took the easy…
