Burgers new crayon pouch

Burger has been a mad man with the crayons lately, drawing lots and lots!( am I just thrilled or what)
I made this crayon pouch off a great tutorial off Nested . My friend babybolt gave me this link over a year ago. I made a few as gifts and altered the pattern to make all sorts of pouches , but burger is finally old enough for his own crayon pouch and he just loves taking all the crayons out. It is not exactly like the tutorial because I just sort of winged it . I got the awesome fabric at the Joannes humongous sale and came home and was just so inspired to just whip it up . I like to think the pouch inspired this Burger masterpiece
I forgot to take a photo of the pouch rolled up so instead... here is a cute burger pic in his chair his Donda gave him!

Panties and patches and pockets, Oh My!

I made some more panties ...Yay! Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I am still working out the sizes (these I believe are 6's ), and the edging( elastiasize or not) ; but I wore a pair( not pictured ) all day and the were super comfy way; beyond my expectations. Who knew you could make your own undies?
Anyway this is just getting more exciting for me because I just got "Sew U Home Stretch:The built by Wendy guide to sewing knit fabrics"

I think it has all the secrets I have been searching for! So look out for knit dresses cause they are coming!
But for now panties
and patches(pockets)

Polished etsy purchase!

I have had my I on this sweet hoot owl since April at Polished's etsy store. I finally treated myself to it...


and a pair of beautiful black rose dangle earrings!


Everything in her shop is so pretty and detailed I just love her finds and the prices could not be more reasonable.( these earrings were only $8.50). Not to mention I ordered them on Sunday evening and got them on Tuesday! It was a very satisfying venture...thank you Tracy of of polished ! You must check out her shop her photos are way better than mine.

Fishin' with Daddy

Homage to a friend,or sort of a wordless Wednesday

In celebration of my fellow mama blogger getting a nod on baby center!
I decided to post a wordless(sort of) Wednesday like Mama sings the blues does.

panties

I made these panties form a pattern I took off some anthropologie undies.

They were a little small ,ok a lot to small so I gifted them to cali girlfriend and she looked fabulous in them!
I even figured out the cotton crotch conundrum
I am enlarging my pattern so get ready for new undies girls!!!!

Manly cards

"Stallion" 7.5"x5.5"


I used a Tea stained( tea staining is a very manly activity,like holding up a train ) rives bfk printmaking paper to house my collaged images.
