Summer hat. I used a bit of interfacing in the brim, but it could have used a slightly heavier weight all around.

Picking, eating, canning.

Sprouting really is that easy! Wheat sprouts day 3. I just popped the solid center circle piece out of the canning jar, used it to trace around on plastic canvas and viola! Special sprouting jar.

Valentines-ish bag. Scraps left from a dress. Could have used more interfacing in the flap. I used velcro instead of the magnet snap.

8 more bibs from my own pattern. For some reason cutting out 30 or so seemed like such a good idea at the time...

We made these chairs for a friend as a birthday gift. It looks like he likes them! They do stack and were easy to make, and I spent less than I expected. Yahoo!
For some reason, I felt she needed a green dress for St. Patty's day. At 11:00 the night before. And, it should be fully lined. With homemade bias binding. I am so pleased it worked out and beyond excited that she actually wore it!!

Someone once asked what I do with the kids while I craft. My answer: Put them to work! Here, she is using the sander on a birthday gift for a little friend. We have to wait for a complete pic until we've actually given the gift. You should see her with paint! She actually has some great ideas but she's terribly picky about her custom wardrobe.

I really am improving at the neck ribbing. He seems to like his new "balloon" outfit. This one has the red sleeves and the same fabric for the red shorts.

Laundry Dresser
Did I ever mention how in love I am with Ana at http://ana-white.com/? Our latest adventure was this laundry dresser. I'll post an action shot when the camera cooperates. Thanks also to Deb, of Deb's Woodshop!
