Crocheted things
I’ve been crocheting lately. It is a nice activity to do during long drives and late nights, which is exactly what the past couple of weeks have had to offer. We had family dinners, baby showers, birthday parties, family reunion, and a nice relaxing vacation. This little owl hat and brimmed hat with booties set…

T-shirt polo pattern
Update: For the free t-shirt polo tutorial, go here! We are heading out of town for a couple of weeks, but I wanted to get the pattern pieces for the T-shirt polo posted before taking off. I don’t have a tutorial just yet, and I probably won’t until I get back home, but feel free…

Twirly skirt
I made this skirt a while ago and didn’t know if I really liked it at first. I have an old super soft skirt, which I love, that I patterned it after. I used different fabric, though, and did a few other things differently, like buttons for the closure. You know how much I dislike…

Zoie painting
I have a friend who was in my ward for a while. My babies and her baby are the exact same age. They were born on the same day. People thought we could be related because we look a bit alike. We became friends because, well, how could we not?! She has since moved out…

Birthday apron
Liam’s cute friend, Avery, turned 4 last week. Liam wanted to give her a present. He loves to help me make cookies and do chores while wearing his apron and thought that Avery needed an apron as well. So, I made a cute, girly, ruffley apron for a sweet little girl. I love the ruffles…

Orange shorts
The babies don’t really NEED any more clothes, but it’s kind of addicting making cute new things for them. I saw this orange fabric on the clearance stack at Craft Warehouse ($2.50/ yd!) and couldn’t pass up getting a yard of it. I think it makes perfectly cute little kid shorts. I believe I will…

Another t-shirt polo
This little shirt just fits my guys so well. I’m happy that the pattern works! For this one, I used striped knit fabric from my stash, which was in my mom’s stash for a hundred years. It is soft and stretchy and feels so comfy. I would have liked to make a skirt out of…

Stripey polo t-shirt
I wanted to try my hand at making stripes. I grabbed a couple of old t shirts, cut them into strips, and sewed them together. Then, I decided to make the babies a new shirt using my new striped fabric. I didn’t have a pattern, so I used a shirt that they already have to…

First painting since babies
To keep my creative juices flowing the past… gosh… nearly seventeen months, I have done mostly sewing projects with some preschool crafts thrown in there at times. But, back in February a friend asked me to do a painting for her for a Father’s Day gift. This was the perfect project to get back into…

Turquoise baby dress
I have another baby shower coming up- for a baby girl. I decided to try a technique I saw online that gives some texture to the fabric. I did it wrong. But, I liked the way my version looked, so I kept it. I will try the technique again sometime, correctly. The fabric is a…
