Jackson’s current favorite song, besides the ABC’s, is “No More Monkeys!” He loves all versions of the song, and he is terribly cute singing along. I *had* to design this page, even though I dreaded sewing 7 monkeys. It was worth it! It turned out very cute and has the added bonus of being a(…)
I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to get a Christmas tree, though it is only one week into December. Maybe because I started sewing felt ornaments in October? Last night we finally picked out a tree. An hour of living room tree surgery later, Jax and I hung our decorations. For his(…)
Jax and I made some decorations this week. We don’t have our tree yet, but we’ve enjoyed bringing out some of our Christmas items early. Jax asked to do some painting, so I put together a little project for him. We started with a roll of craft paper from the dollar store. I rolled out(…)
I’ve had this page started for quite a while, but other projects needed to be completed for me to stay on schedule with my sewing. I know a lot of you were waiting on this one – thanks for being patient! My inspiration for this page came when I was contacted by Lots of Buttons(…)
This little bird is an ornament I wanted to make once I saw the sparrow felt from American Felt & Craft. I just could resist! This ornament is two sided, but still sews up very quickly. I’m trying to decide if I will design any more ornaments this season. Do you have any requests? What(…)
This is a new felt ornament I designed especially for my train-loving little guy. I added the year to this one, so hopefully I can make it a yearly tradition to sew him a special new ornament. He loves it and thinks it’s a toy! He played with it for 10 minutes before bed and(…)
This cute snowman (and woman!) is a part of my seasons quiet book series. This page is designed to be the left-hand page for my winter spread. The holiday house will be sewn to the right. I’ve left space on the side of the page so I can sew together the binding. There is a(…)
Here is the fifth ornament in the series of five I make for Nikki of Tikkido.com. Her beautiful Christmas Cottage ideas were featured in the newly released Bird’s Party magazine. This is a very simple ornament. Though I’ve only had a chance to make one, I’ve included 2 versions of the cookie on the pattern.(…)
Here is my next felt ornament pattern. A little pink owl in a Christmas tree. I love that owls have made a comeback from the 70′s! (Of course, even I get a little tired of them sometimes.) Snowy owls go well with winter holidays. I wanted to make mine pink. Why not! I did a(…)
I’m not 100% sure which of the ornaments in the series is my favorite, but it just might be this guy! If squirrels ate candy canes I think they’d look just like this. Mr Squirrel is the third felt holiday ornament pattern in the series of five I designed this year. (You can grab(…)
This sweet little guy came about because I needed a gender-neutral baby gift and I wanted to try out some of the new colors of felt available from American Felt & Craft. Plus, it was a great excuse to use some of the cute ribbon scraps I’ve been collecting. I wanted to choose something that(…)
I grew up taking weekly ballet classes form a dear family friend. They were more for fun, and she often let me be the free spirit I tend to be when it comes to creative things. As I got older, my classmates outgrew ballet. The classes shrunk until I only had one or two other(…)
