Technorati Tags: sewing,crafts,purse It’s not going to be an overly in-depth pattern review, but I wanted to do one on this pattern, in case anyone else was searching the web for information on it, as I was a few months ago. They did one at Sew, Mama, Sew, but I always think it’s good to [...]

For the past 5 months, I’ve been searching for the “perfect” pattern for a backsack/backpack. I thought I’d found one back in February, but when I made it, I found the pattern itself was flawed–I thought I’d done something wrong, so I made it again and realized it was just a poorly designed backpack that [...]

For these. It’s a crying shame I don’t have clue one how to knit, so my lust will remain unfulfilled. If I had like…24 extra hours in my day, I’d actually take up knitting just to make these. There are some other really cute patterns in her shop.

I don’t know if I have enough crafters reading this blog to do a fabric swap but I’m dying to do one (because I want someone else to pick out some fabric for me, lol) and I know I don’t know enough local people who do crafts to organize one. Would anyone be interested in [...]

A week ago I finally was able to get Amy Butler’s In Stitches from my local library. I paged through it and immediately saw the pattern for these lounge pants (note, this is the picture from the book)template) and I lost a good half hour because I’m using a new sewing machine and had never [...]

For Valentine’s Day, we got snow. Which made Brianna say “it’s Christmas again!”. We don’t get much snow, and she saw a lot of it over Christmas when she stayed in NY with my in-laws, so in her mind snow=Christmas. Sadly, I had to burst that bubble. But lucky for her, they’re having their (second) [...]

Since I can’t get my image browser uploader to work, and I wanted to share what I made for Brianna this weekend, I came up with an alternative: moar funny pictures Meet Mickey (he’s the funny looking one we’re using to torment Max, one of our REAL cats). I made him from a free pointy [...]

This past weekend I did quite a bit of sewing, considering I hadn’t had my sewing machine out in almost 2 months. Saturday, I had a baby shower to attend for 4 women, and I wanted to put something cute in the baskets for them. So I made frog softies on Friday night. They’re not [...]

Another hodge podge post. Yesterday I got Mormons, today Jehovah’s Witnesses. Do you think it’s the witch Halloween plaque I have hanging on the front door? And will I go to hell for throwing away religious literature? In other news, I’m just finally catching up on my blog feeds. I had over 500 accumulate over [...]

In the comments of my purse post, Phyl was trying to tempt me into trying quilting (she’s not alone in trying to tempt me. That damn Jane actually called me and harassed me about making children’s clothes. She’s evil ). Phylis and I exchanged emails offline and I said I might be interested in trying [...]
