I won another lovely prize!

I apologize to you, Claire! I received your beautiful buttercup bag while I was on a blog break and totally forgot to post about it when I came back. I entered Claire's giveaway and won! Have a look at her blog Make & Do and say "hi".

A First!

Here is my very first attempt at sewing clothing for myself. It could use some tweaking, but I am pretty impressed for my first try. It has inspired me to try some more, so we'll see if this is a new trend or not. I got the tutorial from the same lady who designed the buttercup bag.



and some cheese!

Summer Baby Blanket

My friend, Patty~Jean made a lovely baby blanket with vintage linens and it inspired me to create this. I didn't have any vintage linens, but I had some scraps, so here it is. I just started putting nine patch squares together without much thought to them, if I had been planning this from scratch I wouldn't have lined up the same colors in between or used orange in more than the centre square. This is just meant to be a light blanket for summer and not anything fancy, so I think it does the trick.


here's the back (I did a strip of squares because I had to piece together enough fabric for the whole back - a happy looking fix)



to answer some good questions: the dimensions are 32"x35" and it took me a couple of hours to make it.

cool video

A quick post with a video I came across. Too fun!

Not forgotten

I haven't forgotten you, my dear friends! I've had a busy couple of weeks, but I'll post next week. Congratulations to my friends, Patty~Jean & Jenni, who both had baby girls recently - can't wait to meet your little darlings!

Abigail's Dedication

This video was my Mother's Day present from David. Didn't he do a good job?

bloggy update

Ok, so it's been a month of being offline and I've missed my little blog. Here's a quick update of some crafty things and I will post more details in time.


Still loving baby wearing and so is Abigail!


Made a Love Winnipeg shirt for Abigail so she can love on our city, too.


Made David a shirt with Abigail's picture on it (details soon).


Made a flower for my buttercup bag.


Going greener... Sewed a washable bag liner for my diaper genie. (Remember, I'm using cloth diapers)


Loving on this little beauty - she's getting dedicated on Sunday! It will be my first Mother's Day.
