Holiday

Posted in Hobbies, tagged , on February 1, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Since becoming a mom, I’ve started celebrating holidays I’ve always hated. Case in point? Valentine’s day. I’ve never in my life been one to celebrate V Day. It’s just not my style. Do I need a special day to show my love to my husband? Probably. But I’ll be damned if I let Hallmark tell [...]

Cookies.

Posted in Button, Hobbies, tagged , on December 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Trader Joe’s had a special on their “Cookie Making Workshop.” It was cookie mix, colored sugar sprinkles, icing and cookie cutters, all for 99 cents! So cute! When Button got home from school, we got to work. She got a really big kick out of helping. Even though she was really only “helping” to make [...]

More Jammies

Posted in Button, Hobbies on December 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Button and I have both been sick for this past week. I used the time to get some sewing in. She spent most of Monday and Tuesday watching Mulan and Pippi Longstocking. Over and over again. If I hear “Be a Man” one more time… but, she loves them, so I endure. I bought this [...]

For Sale.

My friends and family have been trying to get me to sell the dresses I make for some time now. I’ve always been reluctant to do that… I mean, what if people don’t like it? What if nothing sells? That’s MY stuff, made with my own hands. I’m not sure I could stand the criticsm! [...]

Shows.

Posted in Hobbies, tagged , on November 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »

This weekend, my sister and I have our first craft show. To be honest, I’m completely terrified. I always get that way whenever anyone new sees my work. We’re going to be selling the ruffle dresses I make, the bandana pants and probably some pacifier clips. I really hope it goes well. Maybe then I [...]

Peanut Butter Jammie Time

Posted in Button, Hobbies, tagged , on October 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Lately, I feel like I’ve been in a creative slump. Every single time I try to make something, it falls short of my expectations. I’m sure that happens to most people who sew. Over the weekend, Button got to spend the night at a cousin’s house, and it was the perfect opportunity to try to [...]

Now we are 3

Well, not exactly. We will be three on Thursday. And by we, I mean Button. I made her this birthday dress and I fully intended to wait and give it to her ON her actually birthday, but she spotted it before hand, and, well… that was the end of that. I wanted to use a [...]

Liberty

Posted in Button, Hobbies, tagged , , on June 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Last night, while I was waiting for Button’s prescription at the Target pharmacy, I found some Liberty of London men’s dress shirts for 75% off. I loved the LoL collection from Target. The patterns were awesome! I knew as soon as I saw the dress shirts, exactly what they were destined to become. Years ago, [...]

Tutu Cute

My bestest friend, who also happens to be Button’s bestest friend’s mama, showed me this t-shirt at Old Navy a little while ago: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49051&vid=1&pid=758573&scid=758573002  I immediately thought: I can make that! I got a screenprinter last year and it has opened up an entirely new world to me. I LOVE it. So, I got to [...]
