It's Yo Gabba Gabba time, break it down!
The Yo Gabba Gabba party was a success and I survived the crafts, the costume and the cake! The YGG costumes were pretty simple. I used fleece and based the costumes on two patterns, Simplicity 2853 for Muno and Brobie...
Contending for Godmother of the year

What does a crafty person do for a group of friends you meet with once a month to share stories, laugh and enjoy a great, gourmet, home-cooked meal? Aprons of course! Theses are my Dinner Club buddies, minus one, modeling...
Two for Me, a Peak for You
You could say I'm working hard these days to keep being productive on the crafting front. Despite the declaration of my new goal of keeping realistic and manageable goals, somehow I've managed to, how do you say, feel like I've...

Adventures with muslins
Instead of sewing Vogue 8468 as planned, I got hold of McCall 5620 during a wonderful 99cent sale at Joanns. They're the same basic shape except the McCall pattern uses pleats instead of gathers. Besides, those pockets on the Vogue...
Just teasing

What it is
Productivity has been fluctuating these past weeks and I haven't gotten as much done as I would like. Life throws stuff at you and you deal with it. I get in what I can fit it. And it is what...
It just makes you crave ice cream
I guess I wasn't the only one that was thinking neopolitan ice cream when I was putting this quilt together. My apologies for making you hungry for sweets! This baby quilt was gifted to one of my college buddies who...
Quilt-o-Matic
Is it me or does it seem like I've turned into a quilting machine? I've completed three quilts since mid-June and I'm well on my way to finishing my fourth by Wednesday. I've literally worked on this quilt ALL weekend....
The Brazil SWAP
One good thing about having a craft allowance is that it forces you to focus and plan. I'm 25 days into the year and I'm pretty proud of myself for averting so much temptation so early on, such as the...
The blanket of all blankets
So kids, the quilt was a HUGE hit! And so were the dress and the top. But let me tell you, BOY was I nervous as the gifts were being opened. As each present was opened, "Oh, onesies!" "Yay, bibs!"...
