My adorable niece and nephew celebrated their 5th and 6th birthdays last weekend with an outdoor party, water balloons and two cakes: chocolate with Sleeping Beauty on top for the birthday girl and vanilla with Buzz Light Year on top for the birthday boy.

I STILL haven’t finished the Paintbox Quilt I started months ago, but in the meantime, I used half of the little pieces I cut out for the back of the quilt (I’m going to do something more plain on the quilt instead) to make this floor pillow for the reading corner in my son’s classroom. His […] This was my first attempt at freezer paper stenciling and I’m quite happy with it. I made this shirt for one of my son’s friends who was turning 5. (The party was at a science museum and when we saw someone walking in with a huge silver balloon shaped like an “S,” both my husband and […] I put together this gift for my friend’s 7-year-old, who is very into spies and secret agent stuff. The bag is made from an old pair of my husband’s cargo shorts using this tutorial at Noodlehead, though I had to modify the size and shape a bit because I only had shorts to work with instead […] “Dyeing is eventful in a grand sort of way.” — Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts This quote made me laugh.

I really liked how they turned out, but the packing tape transfer technique was quite labor-intensive, […] I was asked to make another “Princess and the Pea” play set like the two I made as Christmas gifts, but this time, I wanted the mattresses to look more like, well, mattresses, rather than quilts. So I used a sheet of foam instead of batting and made the corners of each mattress cover boxy. If […] Once again, I’m amazed by how many Lowly Worm fans there are out there! Thank you so much for all your kind, and often amusing comments! I hope some of you will come back and read more, even if you didn’t win. I hope to do more giveaways in the future. Lowly Worm will go to sharon, […] Here is my offering for Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew! I had no idea when I posted pictures from my son’s Busytown birthday party last fall that there were so many Lowly Worm fans out there! This version is a bit of an upgrade from the Lowlies I churned out 10 at a time for […] I’m looking forward to participating in my first Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew! In December, I won some beautiful fabric from Jenny at Cut. Sew. Iron. Repeat (which I have yet to use! I need to find the right project.) I think I’m going to give away something related to what has been by […] |
