thanks to a sew-in for our modern quilt guild (hosted by sewingly yours) this weekend, i was finally able to finish up this quilt for my pal jude…. she picked out all of the fabrics on her very own, except for a few that i threw in that i knew she’d been ogling. we settled […]

my crazy week of cakery ends with this pirate bulldog cake. it’s the third bulldog cake that i’ve made for my friend kim’s youngest little guy, who is 4 today. he likes bulldogs. and pirates. and yellow. that equals this cake. last year, i made him this cake: and the year before, this one: so, […]
#ikes6thbdaysleepover
so, rather than have a big expensive blowout party for ike, we decided to let him invite three of his best pals over for a sleepover. after a lot of careful thought (and me nixing girls, mixing school and church friends, and way older kids), he came up with alden, william and josiah. which works […]

owl friend.
on thursday, a friend came over so i could “help” her make a handmade owl for her niece. i ended up kind of taking over the project, mostly in the interest of time. but, here’s the final product… she loves orange, so we used my favorite fabric from field study. (and then i immediately went […]
