August!
Wow, it’s August!! I’ve been running low on creative energy (i.e. kids are draining the life out of me) so I haven’t been around. Our sunflower bloomed! YAY I still can’t believe that thing grew in that little pot. Today we got a cactus from Ikea. I believe it is impossible to walk into Ikea [...]

alien stuffies
My 4 yr old and I usually do one project a day together and this is one of our more spectacular ones. M designed the aliens, chose the fabric, cut some of the fabric and basically told me what to do.
It’s definitely hard to give up control when I’m so used to doing whatever I [...]

FO: Rusted Root

needles: 4 and 6
I started this back when E-chan was born but didn’t end [...]

not paper napkins
Oops I keep losing my words! WordPress is good at auto saving. Our cloth dinner napkins were getting ratty-looking so I made some new ones. 19″ flannel squares should do the trick.
Maybe the title of this post should be “how to fill up blank space with redundant pictures because you have nothing to say.” (Does [...]

baskets
I swear I’ve made M easter baskets before, but I have no idea where they went. ?? Oh well. She saw the fabric easter basket by moda and really wanted one so that’s what I made. It was definitely harder than it first looked–hell on my hands even though I have a metal thimble, plus [...]

more stripey slippers
We had quite a few pairs of these slippers kicking around the house (although none that fit my feet!), but these were for my brother and SIL. Aren’t they cute together? I hope they forgave me for sending their Christmas presents in February. herm. You can find the pattern here at Little Turtle Knits. I [...]

table runner
I have a basket of WIPs that sits on the chair at my sewing desk, and I’m always looking to keep it from overflowing. This table runner has been hanging around for a while and I just got around to finishing it up.
The top is foundation-pieced and the back is linen, quilted with red [...]

Leo the Lop
Ready for an onslaught of cute bunny pictures?
The pattern can be found at Purl Bee. It’s a quick project if you have all the stuff together where you can find it–we were able to finish it within one of baby’s naps.

Montessori Apron Pattern
M has quite a few aprons but they all require me to tie the straps for her. That so does not work with an independent 4 year old! She can put this apron on AND take it off by herself. Isn’t the fabric cute? I think the black kitchen print is Alexander Henry. [...]

chloe toes
I couldn’t remember if I had posted about these or not, but after taking a look I guess I forgot! These were finished before our big trip back to Washington to visit my parents. It’s kind of sad but I suppose these medium covers are the last of the diapers I will need for E-chan. [...]
