(click on the pictures for a larger view) Yesterday I saw this site, posted by Alison at six and a half stitches (thanks!), and I decided to try to make a birdie pouch. I created a pattern and set to work. The outside of the pouch is made from a vintage cloth napkin and the…
Erica
Here she is at long last – my newest doll. Her name is Erica and, like me, she is a surly brunette (notice that she is giving you just a hint of a smile). Her body and shoes are made of wool felt (oh how I love wool felt!). She has a cotton calico dress…
Hey, I’m a Housewife
At the request of Amy over at angry chicken, and because it seems that everyone is talking about aprons this week, I thought I would post an apron I made a few months ago. I love the fabric and the pattern is really vintage and cool. The project involved a LOT of bias tape, which…
Little Veggies
Among the cutest of all of Roxy’s many toys is this little stuffed peapod from Under the Nile. He is such a simple design with a simple little face and a pointed hat. We often use him as tongs to pinch her little nose. All of the veggies this company makes are so adorable. How…
My Month of Softies Submission
I was getting all sad because at first it appeared that my monster wasn’t going to get posted in Loobylu’s Month of Softies, but I guess she had some quirks to work out, and now it’s up! So check him (her?) out here (look for Abby Glassenberg). I am thinking of making it a tutu…
Cupcake mania!
I can’t wait until Roxy is in school and her birthday comes around. We’ll have to make cupcakes for the whole class. Oh no! Here are some really cute ones: For the spring birthday (her birthday is the Ides of March). Again, the spring thing. Oh my gosh – this moster is seriously cute. And…
I’m obsessed with fabric origami and I have been for a long time
I first found this site when I was working at my desk job at a non-profit (about five years ago). I ordered the fabric stiffener and tried it once or twice, but I either wasn’t using the right fabric or ran out of patience. I love origami and I’ve been making little origami figures since…
A Saturday Afternoon Frog
Charlie took Roxy to music class this morning which meant that I had two hours on my own. I was able to go to Anthropologie and get some nice new tops for the summer and, of course, pop into Joann’s for some wool felt and some sale calicos. I’ve never worked with wool felt before…
That’s Not a Bunny, That’s a Girl Dressed Like a Bunny
Here is Shoshanna. She is like her sisters, Sarah and Sonya, but different in one important way – she has ears. Bunny ears. Also, I made her some shoes. I like the little purple flower buttons on her shoes. Lucky girl. When I was outside taking her photo, I suddenly realized that perhaps I like…
Sonya and Sarah
Roxy took the longest morning nap ever! She slept from 9:00-11:00 and, though I was sure she would sleep a scant half hour this afternoon, she went down at 1:30 and is still sleeping! She must be going through a growth spurt. It is amazing that a person could sleep from 6:15 pm to 6:30…
