Four little owls...

... Sitting on a branch...
Made d a turkey and cheese panini about 2 months ago, now it's his
favorite meal ever.
This month he also has to have a corner turned into "and the moon
shining down from up above"

My own appliqué creation...

I have 9 blocks...
Not sure if they're a quilt in-and-of themselves, part of a bigger
quilt, or a crib bumper... So for now they're just boxed up...

Wedding quilt #5? 6?

Based on the invitation design. I enlarged it, and made it via
threadpainting and reverse appliqué. First time doing either. Self-
taught. I definitely learned some things... Next time I'll do regular
appliqué with fusing... WAY easier!

Another cheat.

It's from a kit. I just love keepsake quilting. And all things 30s. D
calls this his flower quilt. Still not sure why...

I cheated...

It's from a kit, and then I made my own quilt-fuse by drawing a grid
on featherweight interfacing.
My first time doing watercolor quilting though... So cool and so fun!
About 2 hours of work and an awesome result! Good thing I didn't have
to cut all the little squares!

Wardrobe refashion

Inspired by the mens-shirt-dress over at Made...
I made it for my niece, but I think it came out too small. (haven't
heard...)

Another typical D combo

Pirate shirt and "rainbow" pants. Homemade, of course.

D's crab pants

With a storebought shirt and a new tricycle. (thanks, neighbors 4
houses down!)

D's fashion sense

Homemade peacock shirt and front-loader pants.
Peacocks and construction are two of his favorite things.

my wagamama re-cover





I just loved this print sooooo much, and since it was only $3/yd, I had to use it... I wish it matched my daughter's bedroom, I'd do her whole room with this print in a flash... as it is, I'm trying to figure out how to convince my DH that it's not too girly for our room... maybe if accented in hunter green...?
Anyway, I bought (and love) my Baby Zabu by Wagamama Baby, but I bought a gender neutral one, so that if/when #3 comes along, it can be reused regardless of gender... but my little girl needed something girlier, she's so cute in floral! So I traced the pieces of the original and made this one... I LOVE it... Cotton print with thin-wale cotton corduroy... LOVE LOVE LOVE (and so do my kids!)
