More Than A Song

The past month or two has been a busy sewing time for me. It seems like there were a lot of babies being born! I usually like to make burp cloths to give and sometimes the girls in the family hire me to do them so they have gifts to give as well. I’m happy […]

“….. soft and warm is your bed” One of the projects I worked on before making this last trip to Texas was a little quilt for new baby Henry. Now that he’s a couple months old, I need to stop calling him the new baby! I’m still feeling my way through doing a blanket so […]

When the new baby was born almost 2 months ago, my DIL found a diaper pouch she wanted us to make. Since I haven’t had babies in a bit I wasn’t all that familiar with them; but it’s something to put in your purse or bag that holds 3 or so diapers and maybe a […]

One of the things Kathryn wanted us to do when I went to visit was to make some capri pants for Katelyn along with a top. She couldn’t find much in the store that just really wowed her; we might have had a bit of trouble coming up with ideas because we had the kids […]

Today there is no love lost between me and this…………. Velcro with a sticky back……….I’m NOT stuck on it but it stuck to everything I didn’t want it to yesterday!

I guess I just thought I was back when I posted that the other day! I intended to blog this week since we were up and running but went out of town on a business trip with hubby, lugged my new laptop along but never did blog…….something in me rebelled at having to pay the […]

“that’s what little boys are made of” Y’all are way too sweet to me about the red jumpers, I appreciate it! How could I send those to the girls and not do something for Grayson. I found a piece of flannel in my fabric pile and thought pajama pants might work for him.

“cause we’re going out tonight” The red jumpers are finished and mailed off to the little girls! I can’t wait for them to get them and I hope they love them as much as I do. 😆 Click through to the extended page to see the dresses, minus the girls.

Why do I get these urges to sew at Christmas time! I’ve done it for years and don’t seem to be able to stop. But here’s a peek at what’s going on and hopefully if they turn out cute, pictures later. Crazy I tell ya. Red corduroy jumpers for little girls….. We have a family […]

Recently I showed a picture of some fabric I’d bought and I’ve been working on this project trying to get it finished. I’ve been sewing for a long time but quilts/blankets are not something I really know how to do; I’m just now sort of learning. Mine isn’t very fancy and won’t really be that […]

“…12, Ladybugs came to the ladybugs picnic…..” I used to love that little song on Sesame Street, it’s from years ago though when my kids were small. I won’t post the youtube video I found of it but here’s a link to it if you want to watch it. I showed it to Katelyn quite […]

Finished up the last of the burp cloths I started working on a week or so ago, maybe this is the last of the sewing things you’ll have to see for a while! Although I am wanting to make a baby blanket of some sort but can’t find what I want to do or the […]

Sewing machine! All the live long day….well it seemed like it at times but it really wasn’t I suppose. I didn’t actually sew much yesterday and I’m pushing it aside for the weekend. But I did snap some pictures of what I’ve done so far…..

Yesterday I had a sewing class, well maybe more of a software class, to learn about a new update I got for my machine. Then I spent a lot of time afterwards trying to practice using it so I can use the monograms and lettering more. I did learn a few new things…..one being that […]

When I was in NC visiting we decided one day to do some altering. K is wanting/needing a few more maternity clothes to wear but didn’t want to spend much money for anything. When she was pregnant before, she worked and needed different clothes than she needs now that she’s home every day. She looked […]
