Sew much to do, sew little time

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I want to sew. I really, really want to sew. I have ideas. I have other peoples ideas. I have patterns that my mom used to use to make doll clothes for me when I was little. I just need a few hours, and I can probably sew some really cool things. I need to [...]

Why didn’t I think of that?

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Painting with kids:
Squirt paint into a large 7 day pill container. It keeps colors separated and you can close the lids and save it for next time. No more dried up and wasted paint.
Eating popsicles:
Save plastic lids from food containers, cut a small hole in the middle and poke the popsicle stick through the [...]

Stories in my head.

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

For years, I used to tell Mitch that I wanted to take a comic drawing class so I could learn how to write/draw the stories in my head. The SF JCC used to teach such a class, but I never got around to it. I still have a couple of story lines that I would [...]

What’s cookin’? And a few other ramblings.

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

I’ve been a little obsessed with play kitchens lately. I’ve seen a lot of really great homemade kitchens out in the interwebs. I sent a few links to my mom, hoping that she and my dad would get inspired and design a play kitchen for Isadora. I thought they might be able to build one [...]

Baby needs a new pair of shoes

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

I dress Izzy is some pretty cute outfits, but she always looks a bit unfinished because we don’t have any shoes for her. I bought a great baby bootie pattern at Joann’s a couple of weeks back, and I finally made my first pair tonight. I was keeping the spirit of Camper’s Twin line in [...]

What fun!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Izzy has a few plastic monstrosities and other essential items that are wonderful distractions. If it weren’t for these things, I wouldn’t be able to shower, cook dinner or eat. Everyday she works the circuit. Playmat, activity rocker, swing, exersaucer. Repeat. Unfortunately, she is out growing some of these items. I was beginning to panic [...]

I think we’re ready.

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

All of Peanut’s clothes have been washed and sorted by size. We have a ton of NB-3 mos., 3-6 mos., 6-9 mos., and 12+ mos. How in the world did we skip 9-12 mos.?

Holiday Garland

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

When we have the bigger apartment next year, I’m going to get a tree and decorate for Christmas. I love this holiday garland:

I have a ton of felt on hand for my Zucchini Pie Cat Nip Toys, so I’d like to us it to make similar garland for next year.
I also spotted this fabulous paper [...]
