warning: this is an extremely long post. there may or may not be 16 pictures. after completing anna’s quilt, i decided that isaac was in need of one himself. after a whole lot of surfing and searching, i settled on attempting a queen size zig zag quilt. then, derek bought me a new sewing machine […]
making stuff with needles and thread
various sorts of craftiness…
i had a day full of miscellaneous crafting. first, i went to bridgette’s house, where she, jude and i, made freezer paper stencils, while the little people ran amuck in bridgette’s big house. jude did a dog, bridgette did some flip flops and i, of course, did a robot. i used silver paint on a […]
baby ava’s monster
i had a little difficulty with attaching a cute tab so the monster could be hung as decor. wound up severing the top of the monsters head off and sewing it up (haphazardly). i was grumbly about it, but fortunately the monsters are already a bit haphazard and imperfect, so it worked, i guess.

baby legs
i follow a ridiculous number of blogs. cupcake blogs. home decor blogs. mom blogs. friend blogs. and many a craft blog. on one such blog, i was reading a post about how to turn some old grownup t-shirts and a onesie into a pieced jersey dress. i thought, “well, that would be a really great […]
