My Recycled Sweater Doll (more like recycled blouse doll actually) Misty, is now available in my new Etsy shop! I decided not to do one big shop update, instead I’ll be listing new items all week. Save myself a little sanity that way I’ll be linking this post to the I Made It! blog party…
We are moving into our new apartment next month (!!!) and while we still won’t be able to decorate however we want… I sure am having fun thinking about how I WOULD decorate it if I could! One word: COLOR. via I LOVE this dining area!! I really really love these red chairs and SHELVES!…
My little Juniper absolutely loves my bobbin case. And even when she’s not trying to grab it and play with all the fun goodies inside, that stupid plastic case is always popping open and making it’s own messes. So I decided to make a case for it. Ok… I know what you’re thinking. I could…
Welcome to the world little River! ? Hello my sweet little new niece. Look at your precious little face! Oh how I wish I didn’t live 1000 miles away. (1,197 to be precise) Soon enough though I’ll come visit and give you lots of mooshy auntie loving. Until then, sleep well through the night and…

My craft area is a disaster. As usual. So I’m sitting here, staring at it, trying to get motivated to start working on it. BUT of course that just doesn’t sound very appealing right now. So instead I’ll just post pretty pictures of what I wish my art room looked like. *sigh* “I’d rather have…
After an extremely stressful week at the office, I finally had some time to relax and do some sewing on Friday night. I finished up two outfits for Juniper, made a new stuffed animal, started a drawing commission, and finished up some projects for my sister’s new baby. (AND I got to spend lots of…
I’ve been wanting to try elastic shirring FOREVER, but I’d been too intimidated by it since I’m new to sewing. Plus, I had a hard time finding elastic thread. I finally decided to give it a try last night, and I’m addicted! This top turned out so cute! I’ll definitely be experimenting more with it…
When I started learning to sew, I got a request from my sister (who is preggo with girlie #3) for a diaper bag made from recycled materials. Sounded like a fun project to me! I am fairly happy with the outcome. It definitely looks handmade! Which I guess is a good thing, right? It’s made…
