I love this!

"Healthy" Halloween

I few years ago I gave up all candy made my MARS because I found out they tested on animals. No Milky Way, no Twix, no M&Ms! And then I found SUNSPIRE. They make M&M-like candy without artificial ingredients and without hurting innocent little animals. I love these "Sun Drops." They come in bittersweet or milk chocolate. Yum.

You can find them at Nature's Finest or here.

Reversible Bag

I made this bag this summer for a wedding. I made it reversible because I love both of these fabrics, but did't have time to make two bags. I still have to make buttons for the bag, but it works fine with out them for now.

The Outfit is Finished!

I made the bloomers out of "Weekend Sewing." The smallest size was for 6-12 months, so I just shrank the pattern to what I thought may be a newborn size. The bloomers may be a bit big for a while. Nonetheless, this outfit is adorable!

I have been inspired by "Weekend Sewing," and I'm...well, sewing. It's a wonderful thing. I've been so comfortable making my own patterns here and there, but it's nice to follow a really good pattern for a change.

My First Baby Project

Well, I did it. I bought Heather Ross' "Weekend Sewing" because I couldn't resist the book any longer. My first project was the kimono. Though not perfect, it was made with lots of love. I hope Olive likes it!

Before you ask...yes, I am in love with the book. I don't know if I should make the apron or the PJ pants next.

The Wristlets

I spent a weekend sewing these up. I figured it was time I combined my love of sewing and beading.

I just can't stop making them!

Holiday Shopping

Our first holiday shopping bazaar was a hit! Lori, Sue, and I had been sewing non-stop for weeks! It was all worth it. Thank you Jill for opening your home to our craziness!
