Winter Warmer

Cool days in St. Louis have me thinking about Fall and Winter. A quick run to Jo-Ann for some fleece, and I'm ready to sew. (There are also a handful of no-sew projects you can do with fleece for blankies and scarves, if you don't sew.) I've started a poncho-style cape, and here is a little hat, designed by Lotta Jansdotter:
This took a very resonable amount of time to make. Don't be surprised if we gift one in your direction.

I love sneak peaks

Just a little teaser for Margot's first birthday party. With almost two months to go, I'm starting to put some ideas together. What kind of crafty mom/craft blogger would I be if I didn't go all out?

Moonpies are the best.

Catch up time! Still sewing every day...

Catching up! Lots of catching up to do with my posting. One reason I've been waiting to post pictures is that I've been working on a lot of gifts lately. Nierman baby, Bursuker baby, McFarland baby, Penn baby, Howell baby, Arch-Andorsky baby, Ouk baby, and on and on. Seriously. Lots of babies. Which makes me super super happy! Now that they're out, here are some photos.
The Noa Nierman Mermaids:
This taggie has sewn tags instead of the normal ribbon. This is a very special baby, so it was definitely worth the effort! The mermaids are from the very talented Heather Ross, and the fabric is a super soft tight-woven cotton. There's flannel inside for some stability and weight, and the reverse it a sparkley linen, which makes me giddy.
And a bib to go along with the taggie. You'd almost miss it if you didn't look closely; I am super happy with Noa's little name stamped in the wave.

Bibs for Fischer Green Howell (what an amazing name!!)
Twins.
Baby Eve's nature taggie.

Some dolly friends.
And here's my neeeeeew fabric stash!!!!!!!!!
