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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m still here…on the couch…with the baby asleep on me, or nursing.  SOMEDAY I will get back to sewing, but until then, I can dream! And thank God I can use my laptop to read tons of marvelous blogs by fabulous quilters and peruse Etsy for new fabrics while Liam sleeps [...]

My friend, Debra, just showed me this new local group, Hip Handmaids, and I am SO excited about it!  

In the words of the founder:

“Hip Handmaids is born out of a bizarre group of talented housewives that have handcrafted, unique wares to sell. Each vendor has been crafting ever since they could hold a pair [...]

These keepsake quilts made from squares of baby clothing by Hillary at Wee Wonderfuls are SOOOOO adorable and the perfect way to bring back memories of your child as a tiny baby in all their cute outfits.   Each square is made from a piece of baby clothing that was too tattered, worn, or stained [...]

I want this “Have a Sheri Berry Holiday” fabric  SO badly that I think I look at it online 5 times a day!  I love the retro prints and pastel colors for Christmas.   I had to swear off fabric purchasing for awhile, since I am not working and I have several projects lined up [...]

Last Sunday was my husband’s birthday and we decided to have a low-key celebration in our backyard (seeing as I am full-term and ready to pop).  It is amazing to see how different our parties have gotten in the past year.  Most of our friends are having babies and there were 4 little [...]

My new fabric arrived and I just want to stare at it touch it all day!  I am officially obsessed with fabric and fun, funky, retro prints.  I wish I had disposable cash resources, so that I could collect fabric to my heart’s content.

I bought a fat quarter set of Michael [...]

Oh gosh, I FINALLY finished the bird mobile for my friend (her baby is a month old…eeek!).  Between not being motivated due to the heat and balancing issues with the branches, it has taken me WAY too long. I really thought this one would go faster, since I had already made a mobile, but it [...]
