A place to keep track of things I have made, great links, and the new friends I've made through blogging.
A friend's daughter (age 2+) was very thrilled with the Easter Bunny, and keeps talking about him. I worked all morning to make this for her before work today. I couldn't resist a little carrot for the bunny.
And, what bunny would be complete without a great tail? I double sewed the button on with two diffent double threads and cautioned mom to be aware. (The carrot isn't very big, so I cautioned her about that too.)
I do plan to line this and put a few pockets in it as well. I can hardly wait for Samantha to see it.
Step three of the mystery quilt is complete thanks to my friend Kate. I mistakenly sewed 40 of the blocks together wrong.... 
Elizabeth, has extended her sign up date for the lunchbox swap to 3/15/08. So, if you haven't signed up yet, there is still time. She is going to post a tutorial on how to make these cute lunch bags soon.
I printed out this template to use. It would work following the tutorial at Melly and Me. I guess I have more of this fabric than I thought. I'm hoping to have enough to do another baby quilt. This one I'll donate to our NICU. I worked on something else that I'll show you another day, so I was only able to get this much done today while we met.
Darla says either you love or hate paper piecing....I love it!
It's a little long and skinny.... I have more ideas. Used basic bag techniques. Not lined as fabric is pretty sturdy on it's own. I squared off the bottom.
I'm looking forward to playing with these fabrics for size and shape of several shopping bags. It will be fun to see how many can be made from this amount. Nothing fancy, but more practical for use. I'm thinking the height might be good for fitting more into a shopping cart. I usually only grocery shop once every two weeks except for milk/bread. My bags are always piled on top of each other!
While Spring has hit many of you, it's still very cold here. My hubby works outside alot. I knitted him this neckwarmer from Elizabeth Zimmerman's book. He has one I made years ago that he loves, so I know it will be appreciated. (Navy blue doesn't photograph well...)
And, they have spoons that change color when the food is too hot!
Because what goes in makes that stuff that comes out...a diaper wipe case. I used a real bandana to line it.
These were my favorite ones though. I love the little appliques.
Can you tell the mother to be is expecting a boy?
I received this in the mail yesterday from Kristi. She blogged about it here. The whole thing is so sweet. Someday I hope to have grand daughters that will play with all the doll things my girls used to. The doll clothes swap turned out to be a very good thing.
Twenty four years ago I became a mother for the first time. I loved you from the very beginning.
We had some great little adventures. Some rough roads, but we made it.
And now, look at you, all grown up a woman. I am so proud of you.
Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl.
