Strawberry Fields Patchwork Twirl Skirt

I LOVE this skirt! So does Val, she wanted to wear it all day. Thanks to a special gal over at sewingmamas.com for helping me w/ the pattern.

Note to self: Next time don't make waistband so wide. ;)

Happy 1st Birthday, Joey!!

New Project: Wavy Blanket

With the left over yarn from Val's top, I'm starting this blanket from LionBrand:

I have two panels done...only 15 more to go...yuk! lol

Candy Lacy Girl's Top

I made a 'Lacy Top' from the Lionbrand site for Valorey.

I ended up using a H hook to get gauge. I used Red Heart 'Candy Print' which I ended up getting on sale and didn't know it. lol. Plus you don't have to pay tax on yarn at A.C. Moore!

I made her sleeves long enough to go to the middle of her hand.

I flared her sleeves at the bottom, which I love how it looks, don't you?

Instead of snaps like the pattern calls for I put ties in the inside and the outside.

My daughter loves it.

Child Coloring Bag Finished!!

Yes, I finished. :)


The party is tomorrow, and I went and got a coloring book and a pack of markers today. So here are pics:

The whole bag

Close up of airplane applique

There are nine marker/pencil/crayon pockets in the front.

It's rough cut/frayed style. the straps are frayed, so is the edge of the marker pockets and the applique.

It's in backpack style, which is so versatile. It's elastic at the top enough the get the books in, and just enough so they won't fall out when held upside down.

Gotta love it. Which I do. So ya know I gotta make more. lol.

I'm gonna try to sell some custom made ones

on myspace & by word of mouth.

Also including a tracing name sheet w/ it.

Progress - Child Coloring Bag

Yes I'm almost done!! :)

I have 3 more things to do then it's done. I think it's really neat. Hoping (*crossing fingers*) that this will be my prototype for more to come, for gifts and to sell.
