on lady bug costume coming right up :-)

one "angel costume" for sweet little Olivia

Halloween is well on it's way! and I am EXCITED! I've made a ladybug costume, and an "angel" costume, working on a fairy costume in hot pink and black. Sadly our bumble bee order couldn't be placed. Adalynne will be a Peacock! and i need to work more on Kylina's Princess costume, it's kind of thin. :D! AND we have ONE FOLLOWER! :-D we all have to start somewhere!

it's a shirt, it's some thread.. NO.. it's a T SHIRT QUILT!!!

(excuse the mess.. 2 yr old on the loose)

so here it is... my first quilt.. and i choose a t-shirt quilt.. and i already wanna hate it!!!! MEH... lol i must love my husband or something.. silly me right? I hope he loves it.. because it's causing me alot of headache.. i get one row done a day between school, the girls, cleaning, cooking, breast feeding, and trying to potty train! WHEW!

** If anyone else decides they want to attempt one: when you google (or how ever you look it up) and you see !!!! Step 2 - Fusible Interfacing - Each shirt must be backed with non-woven fusible interfacing to prevent it from stretching. Buy enough fusible interfacing to make a 17" square for each T-shirt. Select good quality, light weigh interfacing. Fusible interfacing needs to be non-woven, glued only on one side. I'm currently using Pellon 906F. (In response to many inquiries about interfacing, I now offer fusible interfacing for sale here: http://www.goosetracks.com/Interfacing.html **!!!! DO THIS STEP!!! or else you'll have a heck of a time trying to sew the pieces with out them stretching.. trust me lol !!

hello readers, if i even have any....
so both jobs were botched... one girl couldnt pay for it and changed her mind the other decided to stop speaking to me... and then there was a 3rd and 4th job, one was a guy wanted a thong sewn for him,... then he turned out to be a 50 yr old man lol that didnt happen and the other was a fellow army wife and i turned her to itsy because they were selling for cheaper than i could make one for her...
blah this is not going well for me... if anyone is reading i could use any and al encouraging tips... because i am very disappointed right now

The Quest begins

I am starting this week on our second round on diaper making... going to make up the last of the cuts i have for the small size (premie) and put them with the batch to sell. Hopefully this next round goes lots better... i have to add a little to make up for my scale being off.. STUPID PRINTER! Hubby leaves week after next for basic... i am NOT ready for this... we have friends/family staying to help ... but they're in the same boat, hubby leaving for basic and they have one little one ( and she's pregnant). So stress is HIGH in this house...
Well, i live to craft another day.
thanks for reading

a DIAPERING JOB!!!

2010-10-14T17:31:00.000-05:00

so after a reply to a cragislist ad... i am now going to be passing on my self taught skills on how to make cloth diapers.. these are some of my own that i had made, (sadly when we began she had outgrown these they're premie sized)
this is pre finished diapers: consider me SUPER excited!!

Dressing for success? i do believe so...

2010-10-14T14:19:00.001-05:00

so i am SUPER excited... i will be posting in the next two weeks pictures of the little red riding hood costume i am piecing together for someone, my first paid sewing project. I am making a peasant shirt - off the shoulders with a band at the bottom and ribbon in middle and a circle skirt!!! i am so excited to start... she is referring me to all of her friends and might have more work for me. Things are looking up for this crafty momma.

ALAS my home wrap is complete!

2010-10-12T20:44:00.002-05:00

So about half way through my pregnancy.... a thought struck me. I wanted to make a baby wrap (like a moby wrap, or one of those sling deals-which i've decided i hate) i went out and purchased the material, along with the cloth diaper material (WHOLE nother blog entry entirely... much frustration and confusion) My daughter is now almost 8 weeks old.. AND WE HAVE SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!! much appologies, it's a bad picture i was trying to use self timer on my cellphone. That is only one of four and i have two or three more to make before i decide if this is a continual craft for me. ☼WISH ME GOOD LUCK PLEASE?☼ :-D
