Potty Humor

We are in the midst of potty learning over here.  Aidan spends 90% of his time at home with only a t-shirt on.  I have a potty chair set up in the living area with an old beach towel folded in half underneath for any ‘dripage.’  I am super happy to say that Aidan is [...]

My first quilt

Ok, so the disclaimer is that this is more of a patchwork throw than a quilt.  There is no batting, no binding.  It’s simply turned and topstitched.  However, it’s close enough to a ‘real’ quilt to be a perfect gateway for me.  I’ve learned a lot and though it isn’t perfect, it was made with [...]

A tiny, sweet tote

For the first time ever, I went to the fabric store in search of something pink.  Not some pale pink, either.  I wanted something bright and fun and girly!  Aidan was invited to a birthday party for one of his girl friends who recently turned 3!  I couldn’t wait to craft up something super girly [...]

Today, I’ve nearly finished my first piece of clothing. I used the lovely Angry Chicken’s 5 minute skirt tutorial. [...]

Argghh!

Remember my last post: Inspiration Overload?  Feast your eyes on this post by soule mama.

I don’t have vintage tea towels, but I have access to linen.  I also happen to embroider.  I. must. make. this.  Seriously.  My handmade bread kneads it.

PS.  I have tons of pics to share with you.  I just am short on [...]

Inspiration Overload

I should really stop visiting other crafty blogs. My head fills up with tons of ideas and things that I want to make. I want to do it all and I want it done now, but I hardly have time to get a proper dinner on the table each night. Today, there [...]
