I got a pile of sewing and claying done since yesterday, and you can see all of it in this picture! First, last night, I used my favorite fabric from the Freshcut collection and made a wraparound skirt from the Sew What book. I’m really happy with it, it was relatively easy, and I will […]

The posy saga and more
As I look around the once-clean living room at the toys strewn about, I am feeling distinctly like I need to do something about it. Or, at the very least, press the child who made the mess into service. Instead, let’s talk about flowers I decided that I really did like the first batch the […]

But I found something cool and needed somewhere to post it You can print your own photo cube here. I think that’s pretty cool – I had wanted to do something similar for ages, using pictures on wooden blocks. I know the boys would love to play with something like that. But, I never got […]

Yesterday I made the apron I’d been planning to make, and it only took me a hour! The first one I made took twice as long. I guess I’m getting the hang of this sewing thing… Here are some flickr pictures for your viewing pleasure. I had enough fabric left to make a tote bag, […]

I was originally going to post this in The Craft Room at The Polka Dot Cottage, but it was being all wonky and messing up my html. So to Livejournal I go! I did it – I made my first project. I had initially bought some great Amy Butler fabric, but I decided that using […]

So the Other Half takes the Sons over to his parents’ house this afternoon and comes back with a power washer but without the boys. Now, I love my children dearly, but the prospect of an evening without the duties of parenthood looming kind of makes me giddy Other Half asks me what I’d like […]
