one-of-my-favorite-etsy-shop-lucky-star Hi there, lovely ladies! How's your day? I hope you are all fine. I have recently discovered an Etsy shop which sells a variety of cute and adorable party decoration items and the stuff. I was looking at her shop for the nth time tonight and I just can't help sharing with you MY favorites! In case you don't know, we are crazy over owls here! Look at this Diaper Cake! Now, how about this owl centerpiece? Owl corsages!!! Cute centerpiece topper. And this owl corsage for a baby boy shower! She's got other pretty things there, not just owls! So what d'ya say about this rag garland? Oh, and this Ribbon and Lace Chandelier decoration is absolutely lovely! And these flower pins are too cute for words! She's so talented and so creative, you've got to see it for yourself. Hugs,
How to make easy baby (and kid) pants There are probably a hundred tutorials already out there for this sort of thing, but I get requests almost daily for a tutorial posted here, so hey, I’ll add mine to the pool. I’ve been specifically asked to detail the waist elastic, so I’ve done my best. I hope it’s helpful! There are no restrictions on using this tutorial, but please exercise your good internet manners! materials needed A pair of pants that fits your baby or child well.Fabric from which to make the new pants. construction I’m using a serger / overlocker for the main seams in these photos, but please note, a regular sewing machine that just does a basic straight stitch is all you need to make these pants. Step 1 Gather your supplies. Step 2 Fold the pants in half matching up the inseam seams. Fold your fabric in half (or fold it just enough to fit the pants on the fold so you’re not wasting a bunch of fabric) and lay the pants lined up with the fold of the fabric as shown above. Do not cut the folded edges! Step 3 Woo.
a craft blog: Project 3 - A New Technique Tried For my third project for my HOLY MOLY I HAVE TOO MANY CRAFT BOOKS challenge, I decided to venture into new territory...smocking. The project comes from this book, Smocking for Beginners. The book's title is very misleading...Beginners?!!?? With a crafter's eye glance through the book's content, I beg to differ. Just look at these projects : Pretty gnarly stuff. After practicing for a bit, I jumped into this project, enjoying every minute of handwork. Here's a close up of the smocking Itching to give polka dot smocking a try? Black Marks = Sewing Guides for this tutorial only Red Floss = For this tutorial only 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 3 books down - 47 more to go ;o) happy day ^*^ kat
LICENCIA PARA COSER: bebe Hola chicas, cuanto tanto, tantísimo tiempo, pasan los días que vuelan. He pasado un tiempo desconectada del blog, aunque no de vosotras que os he ido siguiendo desde aquí y claro como tengo ese gusanillo custoril (que creo yo más bien que es vicio) pues he ido encontrando alguna cosilla que supongo os gustará. Así que vuelvo a la carga, aunque lo voy a hacer poco a poco, que sé que no hay tiempo para coser tantas cosas. La creadora del tutorial y los patrones es Lia, tiene un blog muy interesante llamado 'Lia's Crafty Journey', espero que os guste. Si os animáis a hacer uno, enviarle una foto y la pondrá en su blog. Besitos a todas, os he echado de menos. Ana :)

Blogsy for iPad Texas Freckles I don't have much worthwhile to say today, but I wanted to post, so here we go. It's RaNdOM fRiDaY! I was inspired by Nichole's pinwheel sampler blocks and decided to try one. I loved making it, so yesterday I made a few more after deciding to cut into my Hope Valley. I guess I'm joining the Pinwheel Sampler Quilt-Along at P.S. i quilt? I hate irons. So, I bought two cheap irons yesterday. And since it is rAnDoM fRidaY, here are the birds that were in my yard (and across the street) yesterday. A female Northern Cardinal, an adorable little Killdeer, a not-particularly-attractive unidentified female Brown Headed Cowbird who was eating "things" out of the grass, and his/her not-particularly-attractive sidekick who appeared to be the lookout. these little guys are, but I'll look through my books later. [A fellow birder on flickr helped me identify these little ladies.] Lastly, I thought I'd share my real workspace, where I'll be for the remainder of the day and likely a portion of tomorrow.
