Hummm goes the machine


I always tell people, I'm a very results-driven person when it comes to my creative adventures. I really hate to leave something NOT done. So once I start a project, I race through it almost to the point of obsession. I just can't wait to see it finished!

So if you wonder, where did I find the time to do this? Well, the answer is: I didn't. I am a freakish fanatic, and I kinda forced my way through at the expense of all else. HA! I need therapy.

Having said that, here are some things that I made in the past few weeks!



A simple flannel blankie for my nephew who is due in less than 2 months.


Angie (expectant momma) had the fabric for a while now,
so all I did was slap on the satin edge for her.


(The other side is solid red flannel.)


A crazy soft fuzzy blankie for a niece who is due to arrive in August.
I hope Holly (expectant momma) can stand all the bubble gum pink.


If only you could touch this zebra print! It is luscious.
And SASSY, don'tcha think?


Yay for satin edges!!!


I also coached my friend Anna through this new skirt for her little cutie.
Anna did all the work; I just sat there and bossed her around. :)

But it DID give me the hankering to have one for myself.
So I attempted the same skirt instructions for an Amy-sized version.
I've had my eye on this fabric for a long time.
I hope it worked out OK. I don't want to end up looking like a 6 yr old.


Maybe I will model it in another post.
Tonight was not favorable for skirt-wearing in the
shaved legs category.
Or the pasty white Casper category, for that matter.


COMING SOON:



It's allllllllmost done.
Can't wait to show you!

Your skirt turned out great! I loved those fabrics when you showed them to me and they're even better when made into something. Great job!

Is it possible to get sick of bubble gum pink when baby girls are involved? Don't think so.

Um, you coached me through the easy parts and fixed my little inch-long mistake. Thanks again. :)

I love seeing all your projects. They are so cute! I can't wait to see your quiet book because I've been meaning to make one for TWO years now, but keep putting it off b/c I'm scared it'll turn out bad. I've purchased the last of my materials about 3 months ago, but still can't bring myself to actually sew it. I had to laugh at your need to finish a project once it's started as fast as you can, because that is totally me too!

SERIOUSLY you need to come and have a big sewing weekend with me! I am the SAME way--have to finish a project right away when I start it! You are just so amazing...I LOVE IT! :)

AND I LOOOOOVE that skirt. It will look AWESOME on you!
