Okay, first off, a challenge for my lovely readers! Is your fabric (or knitting) stash overwhelming? Does it need some cleaning out? Well, now’s the time to get working on that! You can have a beautiful organized stash, and give to someone else who loves to sew and doesn’t have access to the incredible fabric…
Upcycled Diaper (and Trainer) Swap
This was so much fun! I participated this month in an “Upcycled” Diaper Swap on a sewing moms board where I post regularly. The object was to create a diaper (or trainer, cover, etc.) for our swap partner that was made completely of recycled materials. My swap partner told me that she would love trainers…
An Organized Christmas
Yes, I know, it may be a little early to be thinking about Christmas, but pregnancy puts me in a cleaning and decluttering mode. I should take some pics of the stuff that we cleaned out of storage closet earlier this week for you. We’ve been in this house for less than three years, and…
A New Pattern
Things have been busy here, but I’ve squeezed in a little time to work on a new pattern. My excitement over sewing for our new little one just might have given me a little motivation! The pattern went out to my talented team of testers a few days ago. Here a few things that I’ve…
A Very Special Quilt
A very sweet online friend lost her baby during childbirth a few months ago. A number of mamas on the board where we post wanted to do something to bring her some comfort during this difficult time. We all sew, so the decision to make her a quilt was obvious. Each mama sewed a block…
My Favorite Superheroes!
What sewist has watched The Incredibles and not thought, “Edna Mode has the coolest job, dahling . . . “? Hee-hee! There’s nothing quite like sewing for superheroes, and I got to sew for my own two superheroes this week! My middle two headed off to camp on Thursday morning where they’re having a superhero costume…
First Baby Pictures
We got to see our new little one this afternoon, and it was such a blessing. It’s so amazing that at just 12 weeks, she or he has arms, legs, fingers, toes . . .
Potty-Learning Time is Near!
Jamie’s been really interested in using the potty for awhile, but things have been crazy the past few months between travel and morning sickness. I was finally able to finish up a stash of trainers for him, though, and we’re ready to get started learning to use the potty. Jamie was very excited about mama…
Rainy Day Fun
What’s the best way to spend a rainy day? An empty box can be lots of fun! What’s an even better thing to do with the empty box when your big brother who’s been stuck inside with you all day just won’t stop bugging you? Why put him in the box and ship him off…
4th of July Fun and Allen’s Birthday!
I have fallen really behind on updating my blog. Morning (all-day) sickness has been controlling most everything around here. Just a few more weeks until it should be subsiding . . . We had a wonderful 4th of July with over 100 people here for our third annual Fourth with the Fergusons Celebration. It was…
