First Day of Snow - October 9, 2009

I have the bestest husband! David called from work and suggested a new tradition... order chinese food on the first snow day of the year! I love it - and it means I don't have to cook! What a guy!

Angry Turtleneck Re-con

Here's a great project. Minimum input - maximum results. I didn't take a before picture as I'm not all that confident with clothing projects and don't often expect them to turn out. This top used to be a tired turtleneck. We could call it an angry turtleneck and now it's a happy shrug. (My dad calls these tops shrunks - because they look like they've shrunk in the wash). I used this t-shirt re-con tutorial with 2 minor adjustments. I cropped my long sleeves to 3/4 length and I put some zig zag stitching through the ends where the ribbon comes out of the casing (once i determined how gathered I wanted it). The tutorial suggests pinning the ribbon and the stitches keep it snug without needing pins. I will definitely be trying this again.

Excuse the poor self portraits. I'm sure you get the idea.

More Babies Mean More Shoes!

Snuck in some gift sewing today. Three babies have been born to three friends since August. Two boys and a girl. I hope they like the shoes! Same tutorial as always! Scrappy fabric - stash bustin'.

I had fun in print shop today!

Spent some creative time today in print shop. (That's what I made my organizational calendar in) Whipped up a few more lists today. These are hole punched and inserted into my organizer binder.

Babysitter's checklist

I won, again!

Are you tired of seeing things I've won? I hope not, because it's sure fun to show you! I received this pdf pattern from a giveaway on Puking Pastilles. Check out her etsy store - she's designed a great infant car seat cover tutorial! I'll be sure to blog the finished product when I make one. I'm up to my elbows in diapers right now!
