A little paint

I applogize for the poor picture. I was so excited to come home and paint one night, so I just took a picture with my phone.

After a new paint of coat, my new sewing table is ready to go.

Everyone needs a little strawberry

Everyone needs a little strawberry some times. A mini strawberry pie was a great treat. The recipe is a family secret, so you'll have to come over to enjoy one of these. (once again sorry for the picture from my phone, maybe one day I'll have a iphone)

Fish Bowl

This was my first try at dressing up baby onesie. Buttons were a fun way to make bubbles.

Frog Shirt: Little Boys

Using similar techinque with felt, you can take a basic bland onesie to a cute personalized look.

Rocket Boys Shirt














I found a little boy's onesie at Gap and added a rocket to the front. I layered felt and decorative stitching to create this little rocket.

Halloween continues

I fell in love with this vintage style Halloween fabric. I purchased 3 yards of fabric, knowing I wanted to make a few items. Why not start with the simple easy half apron. More "toned down" pattern (as my Husband says my normal patterns are too bright and exciting) of this fabric still holds true the fun of Halloween. By the way aprons should be bright and exciting. Trick-or-Treat!





















Halloween Apron

August is time to prepare for new Halloween crafts. Also a great time to buy Halloween fabric before everyone else does. This simple pattern provides quick results, which allows you to spend the day doing other things you also love not just slaving away at the sewing machine all day. Enjoy.
