This year I did a lot of sewing for the boys’ costumes. And thanks to my procrastination they got to change who they wanted to be at the last minute.
Meet Ash Ketchum:

This costume was really fun to put together and I was thankful that Perrin picked somebody who only required a jacket and […]

Last Saturday I started my two day Beginning Quilting class at a local fabric shop.
It’s fun!
I learned a lot in that first class and I’m really looking forward to the second class this Saturday.
So this week I am cutting, subcutting and piecing my stars together. Then we’re going to learn how to do the […]

You know those patterns I just love? The ones that tell me how to make this:

and this:

Well, she’s having a fun give-away every day this week on her blog found here:
Bit of Whimsy Dolls
This could be your chance to win one of her patterns along with other fun prizes each day!
You won’t want to miss […]

You probably know by now that I adore the patterns by Bit Of Whimsy. They are darling and so easy to put together!
This one is a bunny that I did a while ago. I love the bright fabric I used and his cute face! That tooth kills me!
We’ve begun a major home re-organization which […]

There’s a first time for everything, and this was the first time for me making a quilt! Granted, it’s a simple quilt and not very big - but I did it and I loved it! I got the pattern/directions from the current issue of Quilts & More that’s put out by Better Homes & Gardens. […]

Yesterday I was able to spend some time with my Mom and we took a trip down to L.A.’s fabric district. She’s been many times to get the fleece she needs for blankets she makes to sell for fundraisers at work, and I’ve just never been able to tag along. Yesterday was a great opportunity […]

Gettin’ colder around these parts! Which really isn’t cold compared to the rest of the US. LOL!! But we’re going to be having some rain and it looks like we’ll be in the mid 60s to mid 70s for a while. I’m hoping for no more 80s! Seriously, I like the colder weather. Wearing shorts […]

Finished another apron this weekend using the same pattern as the cowboy one below. I wanted to see what a holiday one would look like and loved the combo of these two fabrics together. I’m really happy with how this turned out, I think it’s such a fun hostess apron for the holidays! I am […]

I went to my Mom’s and forgot to bring this along to show her. This is the first of four aprons that I cut out this week.
I’m calling this one the “cowboy apron” for obvious reasons. My Mom had this fabric and it worked out perfectly for this apron style. I really like the […]

The boys were excited to wake up today and put on their costumes for the character parade at school. I finished both of their costumes up last night and I’m pretty happy with how they turned out.

Perrin’s was pretty simple, he wanted to be Duke from G.I. Joe. We’ve been on a G.I. Joe […]
