The Table

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Our dinner table got a makeover!

Many thanks to my sister’s-in-law who crafted these up, in secrecy and presented them to me on my birthday a few weeks ago! What a fabulous gift, placements (reversible) and matching napkins! I think the pattern came from I love patchwork.

They are AWESOME!

We had a nice little party with cake! And some impromptu ninja action!

No ninja is complete without a matching sidekick!

Crafties

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Here are some recent crafties I made for our sweet little baby neighbor!

A hooded towel, with kick-ass bias tape! It also has a matching bib.

And a pear bib.

There was much more crafted up and given away, but alas I forgot to take pictures.

I also hand stamped some big sister gifts, my favorite was a bright yellow shirt that was stamped in black typewriter font “I like rainbow soup”. Our little neighbor (now a big sister) spends an occasional Saturday morning hunting colors for her “rainbow soup”, we like to help, but aren’t nearly as good at making rainbow soup as she is. The last time we saw her out making soup, we brought over some pink flowers and were told “thanks, but pink is not in the rainbow”. :)

Oh Baby!

We are eagerly expecting the arrival of a new little neighbor! Etta and I have crafted up some sweet welcoming items, we will share once he/she joins us!

To help with the wait, I thought we would all enjoy some hilarious photo’s of me as we waited for our (not so little) arrival!

I just can’t help myself, I love this picture of Etta wearing Rosa….

Excited about…

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Okay!

Some cool stuff that’s been on my mind, I thought it might be worthwhile enough to share!

  • Angry Chicken’s new Mail order PDF! 16 Potions & concoctions and labels!
  • The Complete Vegetarian Cuisine by Rose Elliot I checked this out from the library! It’s a fabulous book, we made the Mac & Cheese recipe last night.. so delicious!
  • Men’s Knits by Erica Knight, also from the library! I think I must have been the first person to check it out! I’m excited about casting on one of the simple green “man” scarfs! Just need some yarn!
  • Make your own Mini-Me at I am a Stuffed Animal .com very cute.. although probably just as easy to craft up at home!
  • This pillowcase skirt I made, during nap time last week…. Just have to find the right occasion to wear it (I can’t stand wearing skirts to work)! I got the pattern idea from Sewing Green. The pillowcase was recently thrifted from my favorite Goodwill!
  • These bogle face washcloths we crafted up for little baby friends, Etta loves her “prototype”, she likes to point at all the cute monster faces!
  • Last but not least….VANCOUVER! We’re headed that way in a few weeks…. Etta’s first trip to Canada… we’ve been trying to decide what we want to see while we’re there! So if you have any suggestions… post them!

Handmade Tresures

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Here are some recent treasures I’ve received from friends…

A little bag from Haruna, she blogged about here too!

What do I keep in this little beauty?

USB thumb drives! I love it, thanks Haruna!!!

This next bag is from my sister-in-law, it was my Christmas present this past holiday season, one of my favorites (she’s also one of my sewing inspirations,  she was making clothes in high school that are still cooler and more complicated than anything I’ve ever made!)!

What’s in this beauty?

My lifeline, the laptop! It also can hold my school books, pens, pencils and yes, that left pocket fits the iphone perfectly!

Handmade + Tech = Happy Tiffy!
