Beans

· categorized in Garden, Kids,

As part of my daughter’s science studies we put some dry beans I had in a wet paper towel in a jar. About a week later we were much impressed to see their growth. They are thriving. Roots are implanting into the paper towel and are tangled together. There are baby leaves starting on the …

Slouchy Carseat Belt Covers

· categorized in Kids, Repurposing Tutorials, Sewing Tutorials,

Pink thread in the sewing machine makes me happy! We’ve had crazy weather lately! First it rains for days, even sleets, and is cold like winter. Then we get some 90 degree hot sun-blaring days. One thing I do like about summer heat though is letting the baby live in a onsie or a little …

Cloth Diapering

*A note: I know… I’ve been MIA on my blog lately. Time seems to slip away so quickly right now and being off the computer more has been my most effective way to give quality time to my little ones. I’m not going anywhere just slowing down for a couple months. :)* To Begin A …

Crocheted Puff Flower

A perfect little Spring project! I’ve been looking and looking and trying to make sweet simple flowers. When I thought up this one I quickly made many of them and put them on my purse, a headband, a hat, a crocheted cat, leggings, hairclips… well.. everything in sight.

Baby Leggings

· categorized in Kids, Sewing Tutorials,

I have been re-purposing again! This time I’ve been making baby leggings… from shirt sleeves. I’ve fallen in love with the idea of cute baby leggings. They make so much sense especially when cloth diapering or to pair with dresses or skirts. They look great on those precious bowed scrawny newborn legs! I’m sure they’ll …

Nursing Cover

· categorized in Uncategorized,

So, I’ve always breastfed my babies and always struggled with nursing the hungry baby in public. The typical episode would end with milk everywhere, slipping blankets due to flailing infants, and a baby not very happy with all the time it takes to be modest. I can’t believe it took me until my third baby …

A week of Androids

· categorized in Uncategorized,

Just over a week ago I was clueless about what was about to happen. It started when Android Central featured the Droid robot I designed and make. Within the next 24 hours I got more comments, likes, tweets, and orders than I ever expected. It was quickly picked up by 3 other blogs and Gizmodo.com. …
