This little rattle o’ happiness has been on my idea list for the last few years. Literally, years, I wanted to make it for Samster when she was a baby & now she’s 2 & a 1/2. How’s that for procrastination? Lucky me baby #2 gave me a chance to redeem myself.It’s pretty simple, super […]

Painted Jeweled Onesie
I had this idea months ago and was FINALLY able to sit down and bring it to life, and I must say, it’s even better than I imagined. (: Here’s the finished one being modeled, man my model was feisty today! These were the best out of like 50 pics… Sheesh. That kid. Back to […]
"DONT YOU DARE WAKE MY BABY" nice sign
It happens at least once a week. SOMEONE comes to my door…solicitors, postman, ups, neighbor, & they ring the doorbell. Then the dogs go into a barking frenzy and Samster screams her head off from being startled awake, & then I’m mad. Very very mad. To make a preemptive anger management effort I made this […]
Baby Bear Hooded Towel
(That’s her “bear face”, you’d be surprised how often I see this…) This was some SUPER easy weekend sewing I did, honestly if my thread hadn’t kept breaking it would’ve taken me 15 min tops to make one of these. The tutorial is here from Make it and Love it, an AWESOME craft blog, this […]
Seastar Applique & Beach Bunny Samster
To remember our first beach vacation I decided to make this Seastar Applique and posted the template below so you can create your own (print at full page size), I used wonder under to adhere it and then used embroidery floss to make the face and border texture. (Tip- I got a whole bunch of […]
"Feed Me" Bibs
Could the message be any clearer? Inspired by my 10 mth old daughter who is already demanding steak and chocolate ganache cupcakes. But not together of course. That would just be weird. You can click on the image below and print it full page for a pattern of both ‘sushi’ pieces and ‘cupcake’ pieces.Other than […]
Baby Bloom Headband (Mini Version)
She wasn’t quite in the model mood today. She said her inner Tyra just wasn’t feeling the shoot. So instead of painting the nursery I decided to make Sam a more muted version of the Big Bloom Baby Headband. Although I’m all about the wow of the larger predesessor a few people thought their babes […]
Spring Sweater Hat
On rainy days like today I realize that even though Samster was wearing a cute sundress last week the cold days aren’t completely behind us. That combined with the fact that you lose 30% of your body heat through your head (I don’t know if that’s REALLY true, it is however one of those facts […]
your favorite T = baby girl rockstar dress
I have a weakness for super soft, retro style tshirts. Unfortunately 8 mths postpartum and half of them still are a bit too snug around the pooch for my taste. Instead of letting them sadly sit in my overstuffed shirt drawer I found a super easy way to reuse/recycle & make them into rockin’ dresses […]
Big Bloom Baby Headband
I love the super glamorous style of the 40’s. Occasionally you’ll even catch me with a little fabric flower tucked in my hair. There’s no reason my little one shouldn’t be able to get in touch with her inner jazz singer as well…It’s a bit over the top, a bit va–va–voom & that’s just the […]
