I do realize that I missed the whole entry period for the Rae’s Spring Top Week. It’s a little sad that I didn’t get to enter a top, but this little guy has been keeping me very busy, and who could look into those beautiful blue eyes and complain? I do, actually, have the tunic…
Ladybug Diaper Bag #2
My friend, Michelle, is a week overdue with a new little one. I promised her a diaper bag like the one that I made for us, but with a new little one of my own, it’s taken me a bit to get it finished. Michelle let me pick out the fabrics, so I really hope…
Fresh Comfort Quilt Blocks for April
I am really enjoying the Fresh Comfort Virtual Quilting Bee. Each month I get to learn a new technique or try out a new idea for a quilt block! This month, Tacey asked us to do Opposites Attract blocks for her quilt. The idea of this block is to pair a busy pieced area with…
Little Lambs Diaper Shower Set
The double baby shower was last night, so I can post the set that I made for the second mom now. Oh, and I happened to hear that she did read my blog post about the first mom’s set and almost convinced herself not to scroll down and see if hers was posted, too. Hee-hee…
Jump for Joy – Spring is Here!
I love spring! It leaves me in awe every year watching creation, barren after months of cold weather, burst forth with bloom. I took my youngest four to a park yesterday to enjoy the green grass, the wildflowers and the beautiful weather. They’re all growing so fast. Sometimes I just want to freeze time. Jamie…
Cupcakes & Stripes Baby Shower Gift
I have a double baby shower to attend this weekend, and I’ve been working on gifts in my little bit of free time. One mom is expecting a baby girl, so I sewed up this sweet cupcake set for her. I used Rae’s Itty Bitty Baby Dress pattern for the dress. I love this pattern!…
Fresh Comfort Quilt Blocks for February & March
I got a little sewing done this week! Just a few quilt blocks, and I had to do them in short blocks of time, but it was really nice to sew something. The two quilt blocks above are the ones that I did for me this month. The month of March is Barb’s at the…
Spring Top Week Is Coming!
Spring Top Week at Made by Rae is coming soon! I had so much fun sewing tops for me during last year’s challenge. You can check out my blog posts about the five tops I made here: Spring Tops 2009. With a new baby this year, I’m definitely not planning to sew that many tops!…
Magic Yarn Ball Swap
Not much sewing going on around here at the moment. We’re mostly feeding the baby, changing the baby, enjoying the baby, repeat. I did join a Magic Yarn Ball Swap, though. I loved doing this the last time it was hosted, and I knew it was something fun that wouldn’t take too much of my…
Baby is here!
Baby Charlie is here! Warren Charles “Charlie” arrived last week in the biggest snowstorm in Dallas, Texas history. A record 12 1/2 inches of snow! I love this picture of Jamie and me (and Baby Charlie). It was taken in our backyard about 12 hours before he was born. Charlie was born weighing 7 pounds,…
