Ok, yes, there are a million snack bag tutorials out there. But after I borrowed one of my friend’s I knew I had to reverse engineer it and make some up myself. I haven’t seen a pattern quite like this out there, so I thought I’d post a little tutorial. I’m not going to lie; …

Happy Birthday!
Did you think I meant a little baby? Hehehe, nope. But I have been doing a lot of pre-baby prep that has nothing to do with baby. Like stock piling cards. I made a bunch of my new go-to thank you cards, and decided to whip up some birthday cards too. My computer is, sadly, …
The (new) Baby Blanket
I thought it would be nice to make something up specifically for this baby. I have lots of wonderful handmade things that the baby will use, but almost all are hand me downs from Tuesday’s time as a little one. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that at all, and it has made …

Nailed it!
Oh man. Have you seen those so funny “nailed it!” posts on craft fail? With Pinterest I go into every project with a lot of inspiration and quite a bit of expectation too. So when I decided to whip up a couple of easy chocolate covered bananas I thought, no problem! How hard could they …

Another banner day!
Oh man, I’m addicted to these sweet skirts! I want to make one for myself, but Sciarrino told me she was a bit unsure about that; maybe with more mellow fabrics. Until then I’ll work through every little girl I know, starting with the birthday girls for this month. For a two year old and …
Mint Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
I made ice cream again! I got a sweet little Cuisenart ice cream maker for my bridal shower and haven’t used it a whole lot (it was like this, which it doesn’t look like Cuisenart makes, so I’d guess this is the most similar thing they have out now). I’ve made a couple sorbets and …
Bernina? Sewing machine help!
Remember when I got my Babylock and was so in love with it? I’m sorry to say but I FREAKING HATE THAT MACHINE. I had so many issues with it, that after taking it in SEVEN times the dealer finally admitted they couldn’t fix it and gave me a new (but same model) one about …
