Posted on November 17, 2010February 4, 2011by sarah

new and improved robot

Posted on November 11, 2010February 4, 2011by sarah

awhile back, early in my crafting days, i made a robot for isaac. after a couple of years of play time, he’s seen better days. one leg has almost completely fallen off. most of the stitching is pulled and snagged and not looking so hot. and the cheap-o craft felt that i used is all […]

making baby thingz

Posted on November 4, 2010November 4, 2010by sarah

in an effort to keep from losing approximately 3 pacifiers per week, i decided it was time to invest in a clip attaching anna’s pacifier to her (tiny little) person. well, the choices were not aplenty, so i decided i would make my own. and here it is…. we have also been in need of […]

leafy onesie

Posted on October 21, 2010February 4, 2011by sarah

I’ve had this idea (or one like it) brewing in my head for awhile, but it wasn’t until the stars aligned and Anna took a 1.5 hour nap and Isaac was at school that I could put it together for realz… I present to you, the fall leaves onesie:

finished ruffle curtainz

Posted on September 19, 2010May 8, 2011by sarah

After a little break from curtain making, I got back on my horse today and constructed the second curtain for Anna’s room.
