early mother’s day lunch

By On May 10, 2009 · 1 Comment

Yesterday morning we went to the Farmers’ Market, as usual. The weather was beautiful. I commented that one day I’d like to sit out on the patio at The Oven and have lunch. It’s the perfect spot for people watching. Then I thought, why not today? That’s what I’d really like to do to [...]

embroidered handprint for mother’s day

By On May 10, 2009 · 3 Comments

My mom really wanted a handprint of Bella. When she last came to visit, she spent a lot of time tracing Bella’s hand, along with Pete the Penguin’s wing and Puppy the Dog’s paw, of course. I traced one of those handprints onto some muslin and embroidered it. It turned out way [...]

bella’s garage sale score

By On May 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning was beautiful. Lauren and I plopped the kiddos in their strollers and went cruising for some deals at her neighborhood garage sales. Check out what we found for Bella: 101 Dalmations II and Cars, $2.50 each. This Minnie Mouse book was only 25 cents! She’s already read it too many times to [...]

crafty garage sale finds

By On May 9, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’m showing some serious garage sale constraint this season because I’ve got a pretty good stash established. However, yesterday morning was beautiful and the next neighborhood over was having their annual sales. I found some fabric for a future skirt, 2 yards for $1. I also found a ton of elastic for [...]

waiting for the train

I love this picture. It was taken at the zoo yesterday. I’ve spent countless hours waiting for the train back and forth to Washington, DC. This train station was definitely the nicest I’ve ever visited.

More waiting: I’ve got a lot to do today and soon we’ll be heading out for a little [...]

ruffling up some boys t-shirts

By On May 7, 2009 · 8 Comments

When I go to Neat Repeatz, I check the girls clothing first, then head over to the boys clothing. Why? Most of the time the boys stuff is a lot cooler. A girl can only have so many pink shirts with flowers and hearts. What about dinosaurs? Cars? Trains? I never see those in [...]

my faux burberry scarf

By On May 6, 2009 · 1 Comment

Remember when I mentioned that some of that stash flannel was going to become a faux Burberry scarf? It was a really easy project and great for some instant sewing gratification.

The original piece was about 14 x 43 inches. I cut it in half and joined the 7 inch ends [...]

formula one applique

By On May 5, 2009 · 4 Comments

Usually those words don’t go together. Most Formula One gear isn’t on the crafty side, but when has that ever stopped me? This shirt was a birthday gift for our dear friends’ son Wyatt. I was a little worried about whether or not it looked like a car when I was finished. I asked my [...]

cruise night

By On May 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

When I was in college, every Friday night the local folks cruised down Main St. They’d drive super slow, loop around when they came to the end, and then do it all over again. (The Internet is so awesome. I found this pic on flickr and it looks just like I remember it!)
