Here is my little wool felt bunny. She is wearing a little A-line dress with a smart side pocket. Perhaps she needs some shoes? Hmmm…. I hope you like her. Another is soon to be in the works. In funny baby news, whenever our now 14 month-old Roxy sees a baby, or even just a…
Three Cards for Three Babies
I am in the midst of putting together lots of baby presents. A woman in my playgroup just had a baby boy and another is due in mid-June and I’m going to a baby shower for an old friend of ours this weekend, so I spent some time today making little t-shirt cards for everyone….
Omiyage
Charlie and I are about to head out for a nice night on the town and I have to pick up the babysitter in just a minute, but I wanted to post some omiyage that I made a few weeks ago. They are both little butterfly bags and the pattern is from this book: They…
Another little birdie pouch
As usual, the second time I make something I am more satisfied with the results. This little birdie pouch is made from pink and green calicos with brown wool felt lining the pockets inside and felt wings and beak. I like the colors better than the last one, and I put little leaves on the…
Bird Change Pouch
(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…
