Thanks Whip Up for featuring my Less Cowardly Lion today. Seeing the link there inspired me to finish the second exposed seams softie I had started – this alligator. He reminds me of an alligator sculpture I made in college. I went to Johns Hopkins which, at the time, had very few art classes and…

New Pincushions
I walked by this fabric last night on my way to the bathroom (I make rather frequent bathroom stops at this point, as you can imagine), and was finally struck with what to do with it. Make pincushions! I originally found this fabric on ebay many months ago. It is a Michael Miller print called…
The Garden
It’s a beautiful day here. I’m longing to go to the garden center and buy perrenials for my garden. Do I risk it, though? I would need to wait another week and a half or so before putting them in the ground or they might freeze, but by then I might be in labor or…
Comfy
I’m feeling so much better this week. I’m not entirely sure why. Whatever bony part of the baby that was pressing down and putting so much pressure on my cervix must have moved now. I can walk around, not fast, but hey I am 9 months pregnant after all, and I just feel better overall….
punk rock haircut
I made a friend for the red head. Here she is basking in the sun on our lawn. It is so lovely out right now. Could it finally be getting warm? I even saw two little purple crocuses blooming in our neighbor’s yard. So you can see her punk rock haircut a bit better. Last…
To cheer me up
Thanks to everyone for the nice words yesterday. To lift my spirits a bit I decided to take on a little project just for fun and made this little girl doll. She’s a red head. She’s got one of my favorite buttons in her hair and a bit of my favorite ribbon on her velvet…
Slowing Down
I’m slowing down. The baby has dropped and is now lodged rather uncomfortably in my pelvis. I’ve had three bouts of Braxton Hicks contractions, each lasting several hours and bringing me close to tears. The craft room is a mess – there is fabric strewn everywhere and a half-finished alligator sitting on my desk with…
Another Sweater Bear
This sweater bear is up in the shop now and hopefully I’ll be able to make a few more soon (I was told last night that I’m supposed to begin sewing the long sides of that darn bumper this week. Ugh). What is up with Roxanne’s short naps this week? It’s killing me! Yesterday I…
Sweater Bears
Two sweet bears for my sweet neices, Jordan and Ellis. Made from three of my sister-in-law’s old wool sweaters that I felted in the washing machine. I hope they like them. Yesterday I received two packages in the mail. In the first was the manual to my Bernette 330! Wow. Now I can figure out…
The Birthday Girl
The birthday girl had a great time at her party. She handled having lots of family and some friends over very well and I think she really enjoyed being the star of the show. Her only moment of shyness came out out when we all gathered around to sing Happy Birthday – she just hid…
