I normally don’t make things more than once. But I made an exception for the pups (see the first batch here). Plus I had all that fabric to use up — in the end, the vests worked out to be closer to $2.60 each (plus of course the 2-3 hours it took to make each one… but at least I got faster as time went on…) Oh… and here are a few of pics of BDAR pups wearing the last ones I made… so cute! Update (Dec14): Find the printable adopt me vest pattern HERE. Thanks!
Ok ok… baby gift almost complete. At first, I tried to make her name out of the letter beads… but apparently the two packs that I bought a while ago only had one “K” in the whole bunch. Craziness. The grey and yellow star part came from their invitation. Also made one for my bff whose birthday is coming soon! (Finally she will be old with me… Bethany, hopefully you don’t see this before the 14th… but if you do, oh well… you know what’s headed your way!). These are my first homemade cards (other than the ones I used to make as a kid with construction paper and crayons)… they aren’t a huge step up from that but they were fun nonetheless! There will definitely be more to come.
Sewing Project #6 Used this tutorial to go along with the alphabet magnets. Baby gift: complete! :)
With my parents here last weekend, we decided to revisit the danish deliciousness from last month. This time with strawberries. I added a little bit of strawberry jam into the cream cheese mixture and then put all the freshly sliced strawberries on top. This one was definitely a win-win for me. I’d like to try it sometime with a little less sugar (it was super, super sweet) and/or make my own dough… but overall it was a success. (Served with coffee and my dad’s green smoothies) :)
Sewing Project #5 My first made-completely-from-scratch clothing item. :) Made with inspiration from here and here. My parents came to visit last weekend and my mom (the sewing expert in the family) mentioned that I could have made it a little shorter. But I said no… I made it extra long… just because I can!
