Updates on Babyville Boutique

Posted on 19. Oct, 2011 by Trish.

I posted a little while back about the Babyville Boutique line coming soon to stores.  Well, it’s been in Joann Fabrics for about a month now, and I’m hearing reports that some Hancock’s Fabrics have it and some Hobby Lobby’s are getting it in now too.  It is also available on Joann.com, fabric.com and now [...]

Batman Diapers

Posted on 24. Sep, 2011 by Trish.

My husband is a big comic book fan, so I decided to make our son some Batman diapers.  (You know, in the hope that he will like the diapers so much he will actually want to change them!)    In all honesty, he does change quite a few diapers around here, but I figured [...]

Quiet Book

Posted on 16. Sep, 2011 by Trish.

When I was little I remember my mom having a fabric book for us to play with at church.  We had to pick the apples off the tree, and braid the girl’s hair.  Basically it was a book of quiet activities for us to play to keep us quiet.
I decided long ago that I wanted [...]

Topsy Turvy Cake

Posted on 10. Sep, 2011 by Trish.

I’ve wanted to make a topsy turvy cake for a while now, but haven’t really had a reason to.  Well, on Thursday we had a bridal shower for my soon to be sister-in-law and I offered to make a cake.  I figured this would be the perfect time to try it.

I had issues with layers [...]

Many of you know that I cloth diaper.  Not only do I cloth diaper, I also make my own cloth diapers.  I’m sure many of you think I must be insane, but it is so addicting!  I love making new fluff for my little guy!
Well, I have to buy most of my supplies online, and [...]

My First Quilt

Posted on 06. Aug, 2011 by Trish.

I finally made a rag quilt.  It’s been on my list of things to do for a long time, and I even have one cut out for my daughter, but it’s been sitting there since December.  I decided for my son’s birthday I’d make him one.  I figured a small crib sized one would be [...]

Panda Applique

Posted on 28. Jul, 2011 by Trish.

I love how a simple applique can totally change the look of a garment.
Take a simple t-shirts for example.  My niece is apparently in love with pandas at the moment, and so I told my sister-in-law that I could add a panda to a basic shirt for her.
After some drawing and trying to get it [...]

Remember that yarn I recently dyed?  Well, here is the finished product.

Here’s the front.
And here’s the back.  Not too shabby for my first time, eh?
And just because he’s such a cutie.

Cold Process Soap

Posted on 13. Jun, 2011 by Trish.

I can’t resist learning something new.  I recently read  a thread on a forum that was a soap-a-long and had lots of great advice on making cold process soap.  It was 28 pages long, and I was so hooked I had to read each and every page!  I decided then and there I was going [...]
