While I mull over my pattern choices for an upcoming wedding reception, I decided to go ahead and work on something: a newborn gown and baby bib! This t-shirt to newborn gown has to be one of my favorite upcycled projects… the problem with this one? Believe it or not, finding a Jayhawk shirt that […]
This weekend I had plans on whipping up one of my latest e-pattern purchases, Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop’s Classic Footed Pajamas. Easton had expressed an interest in wearing a pair and combined with a pattern and fleece sale, I thought I had nothing to lose…. that is until the other day when we went shopping and […]
If you’ve followed this blog for awhile you’ve probably seen me mention that I’m a University of Kansas alum… hence, I’m a sucker for anything Jayhawk. I’ve made everything from boxers to baby gear with the same print for years (there are very few designs and they don’t seem to change often). So you can […]
Last year I kept a journal of all the projects that I completed in one year. I really didn’t think that I could top what I did in 2010, but when I looked back at my notebook for this year, I was floored. I worked on 154 projects! Here’s some of the things I worked […]

After steadily working on Easton’s costume, I finally have the ‘romper’ portion of the monkey finished: It actually took a lot longer than what I had anticipated to finish this up as there are quite a few steps to get to this point (and it doesn’t even look like I’ve made a dent in the […]
It’s official, Taylor is finished with the school year and is on summer vacation. Besides all sorts of sports and swimming, I’m sure we’ll be doing some crafty projects – I plan on visiting the Crafty Crow for some fun kid friendly project ideas. This week I posted on Threadbanger about loving the fabric Robert […]
One week to go….. That’s right, my due date is ‘officially’ one week from today! Of course, I’m not going to get my hopes up that he arrives before then (although, at my appointment today, the doctor wasn’t sure if I would make it to my next visit) because he seems very cozy in there! […]
