1st Birthday Shirt

I’ve been working on Liam’s upcoming birthday party and wanted him to have a special shirt to wear on his big day. The party is Circus themed (minus the clowns), so I was thinking of doing something along those lines, but then this idea popped into my head.  For some reason [...]

Book of Liam

I had an image of a fabric tag book for Liam swimming around in my head, so I had to make it so (or is that “sew”?).

I was able to utilize some of the stitches on my brand spankin’ new sewing machine. I have always thought all I needed was a [...]

I-Spy Quilt

I put the “Geese in the Forest” Quilt aside for a tiny bit because I had an idea for an i-spy quilt running through my brain.  I have tons of novelty squares that I won from a giveaway on Megan’s blog and I am supplementing with some of my own.  I will admit, [...]

Progress and Process

43 down, 57 to go!

I am really loving how this quilt is turning out.  This was the first time I laid the blocks out and saw them all together.  I am not sure if I’ll keep the Twiddletails “Geese in the Forest” layout, or just do my own.  I [...]

Blog Slacker

Ooops, I totally missed Oneday Monday and blogging all week.

Oneday Monday

I don’t have a lot of time right now to do all the sewing and craft projects I would like.  Maybe one day when Liam is older I will get around to them.  So, for now I am going to blog each Monday about projects I have found online that I would LIKE [...]

Sock Monkey Boy

I would have blogged this earlier, but it finally fit him now!

I saw this adorable sock monkey outfit at Sock Monkey Knits before Liam was born and I knew I had to have it.  All the outfits are sock monkey themed and custom made in either 100% wool, or cotton/acrylic blend.

Crazy 9-Block Progress

Progress is slowly being made on the Crazy 9-Patch. I didn’t finish like I wanted to, because Liam and I both were sick all week (and still recovering now).   We’re headed out of town for 10 days, so I REALLY wanted to get finished today, since I only [...]

Happy Valentine’s!

This weekend was filled with goodtimes and productivity!

We:

Celebrated Ben’s 1st birthday on Saturday.  My best girlfriend from college, Wendy, threw an AMAZING birthday party for her son with woodland decor, yummy food and a musician.

Spent Sunday in the Santa Inez Wine Country.  It was our [...]

5 months

Liam turned 5 months old on February 5th and I did something very special in honor of his monthiversary:

I got my sewing machine back out!

Yes, that’s right.  I am going to attempt to get back to sewing.  Liam is taking naps in his crib for the most part (though he is very fond [...]
