Folding Fabic


The Wednesday before last I was stranded at the library with Livvy. It was poring rain and we didn't bring an umbrella. I decided to wait it out a little so after story time we headed up stairs to look at sewing books. Livvy was so good to sit and read her book wile I looked around. I found a book on fabric folding and with Julia's shower coming up and the cute fabric I found it all came together in something new form.




I had this center part done for almost a week before I figured out the rest of the quilt.

Halloween is Coming


I am in the mood for fall and I am getting ready for Halloween early. My sister-in-law asked me to make her twins (a boy and girl) Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. So I thought I should start early so I cam ship them to Canada in time. I was so exited by the yarn wigs I made one for Livvy too. She is going to be an Alien.

Raggedy Ann makeup will make a big improvement

Raggedy Andy

The wigs are so easy to make. You just cut yarn twice as long as you want. Then you sew the yarn on to a cap in small clumps is a spiral till you get to the crown.

Halloween is coming

I love Halloween. To me it is a fun time to be creative costumes. Fall is my favorite season the colors and the cooler weather and yes my birthday. I am starting way too early on costumes.

Livvy was exited when I drew a picture of her as a pink haired alien. Today I was sewing something and Livvy brought me the yarn I had for her wig and said "pink hair please Mommy". so I stopped what I was doing and made Livvy her pink wig. She is so pleased.
