Thursday is for Fabrics, buttons and things

You have no idea how much I was looking forward to his morning. For starters, we have had a rough week (my Kakazi’s first two bottom teeth erupted!!) and it has just been damn near impossible to find any time to sew. Between taking care of Kakazi, all the paperwork for bills, taxes, I.D’s and such, I’ve not even been stressing it about not having time to sew. Life doesn’t work the way we always want it to and that’s okay. So my excitement this morning for a little fun was justified, I think.

More baby blocks – experimenting with sounds and textures

The quiet book I’m making for Milan is going to take a while, so to break the monotony, I made a couple of baby blocks to play around with materials I have around the house to create a bunch that make different sounds and felt different to touch.

For my drool monster – easy ribbon bibs

Ribbon strap bibs

So the drool situation with Kakazi is getting out of control!!!! I hated dealing with a diaper rash that one time she got one at about 8 weeks, so yeah..we are not going there again. Plus I can never find a bib when I really need one. These are fun to make and a good way to use up scrap fabrics and ribbons you might have around. I think these are to adorable.

Clean finishings, the kids are done

BOOM! I finally sat down and learned how to properly finish the kids 🙂 A simple hand sewn stitch, that I had wrongly assumed was going to be difficult, turned out to be the simplest thing ever. It goes by so quickly and really is invisible if you take your time.

Waffi: Nice and neat finish

Hope you had a lovely Easter too. Holidays are so much more meaningful for me since I had Kakazi and we have had a busy one this year. Lots of visits, Kakazi got to meet her extended family, which was really nice. We have so much cake and festive cookies left over, we may live off sweets for the next couple of weeks. Check out these bad boys my friend Carol made, so DELISH!!!.
