Baby Doll Basket

I got the crazy idea to make this basket sometime last week. Making it was my reward for editing a report for my old job. The instructions are right; it really does take longer to cut everything out than to sew. Except maybe the blanket. But that was because I decided to hand quilt the flowers. Because I am crazy. Also, one of my best discoveries ever is that newborn onesies make excellent dolly dresses if you cut off the bottom and hem. 

Ladybug

A birthday present for the snuggle bug. My favorite part was that start to finish it took less time to make than Toy Story 2.

They're multiplying like...

Matt says I have a problem. He might be right. But the girls love them, so I don't care.

Sewing To-Do List

Because of the aforementioned crafting ADD,  I often make to do lists so I don't forget about ideas or get too sidetracked. It's so satisfying to check off boxes. 

Summer shirt for me

So I'm still not sure about this one. I hated it when I finished last night, but thought washing it might help. It did a little. Maybe I'm just not the flowy top type. The sleeves are split down the center for extra fluttery-ness. 

More Metal Stamping

Not kidding about being slightly addicted. The keychain is for my Dr. Who obsessed husband. The necklace is the Little Dipper stamped using a nail.

Birthday Dress

I decided it was ridiculous to avoid finishing just because of the hem. So here it is. I did the flowers on the bodice by hand, then accidentally cut the thread holding it all together. The one on the far left is still wonky, but I'm hoping when it's on a cute baby no one will notice. 

The Gauze Sleeper

AKA what I sewed today instead of hemming the birthday dress. Because I hate hemming. 

Way Too Many Peg People

Also not sewing. These have actually been an ongoing project. It started with just our family, then grandma and grandpa, then we all got super identities, then... (Please note: we do love grandma too. Her pegs just got misplaced and have yet to be found again.)

"I love you." "I know."

Jewelry Making

For Mother's Day, I said I wanted either one of those mommy necklaces from Etsy or the supplies to make one myself. My amazing husband said of course I should get the stuff to make my own. And now I'm kind of addicted. I also got stuff to make a nest necklace because I've wanted one forever.
