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…
Napkin Girl
Today I made a little doll from two cloth napkins. Her body is one of our white cloth napkins that we got for our wedding. It had a hole and a fray in it so it had to go in the scrap pile. I loved working with it, though, because it is this really thick…
Owl Revisited
I decided last night to try applying a technique I learned while making the penguin to my owl pattern. The penguin pattern has you create the appendages and stuff them and then tuck them inside the body, sewing around them before turning the whole thing inside out. What happens in the end is that the…

Vintage Plush House Toy
We were away this weekend staying with Roxy’s Grammy J and Grandpa in Connecticut and attending her twin cousins’ 1st birthday party in New York. While in CT, Charlie’s aunt Fuzzy gave me the grand tour of her house. And quite a house it is – exhibiting a lifetime of collections all out on display….
An Awesome Place to Buy Fabric
I just wanted to highlight one of my fabric on-line fabric stores. For those of us who can no longer spend hours browsing through fabric in person (because we have a toddler in tow who pulls buttons off store shelves and tries to eat them) Reprodepot is a great alternative. They make reproductions of vintage…
Getting Started
Today I finally started my blog. Yipee! I’m hoping that I will enjoy posting pictures of things I make and do as a housewife. I’m also hoping that this blog will keep my motivated to create new things while little Roxy rests. Check out my “Crafty Goodness” photo album to see what I’ve been working…
