Welcome Warm Wuzzie!

Hi again!

I am really excited about the last little project I hooked up in the last few days. Remember my baby snug? Well I changed it a little and called it something else. It's now my little Warm Wuzzie. This one pictured here is the most recent one with I embellished with some pom poms made to look like dandelions. Isn't it sweet? The body is made of worsted weight, acrylic, dark brown yarn. The embellishments are done in a soft yellow, and medium green. I am pleased with how it turned out.

It should fit a baby anywhere from Newborn to 4 months. After that good luck keeping a little wiggle worm in there! That's why I had to roll up a blanket inside...there's no way my baby would fit or sit still!

I will like post a tutorial later showing you the basic steps to the Warm Wuzzie. I am thinking of submitting my pattern to Crochet Pattern Central which is a website I love. I highly recommend it if you are a crochet lover looking for patterns. They are all there, and they are FREE!

Anyway this little number is now FOR SALE for $30.00.

Spring into Spring #2

I have posted a picture of this quilt before. But this is a much nicer picture. This is a rag-time style quilt made from 2 different pink flannels and 1 dark brown flannel. I was probably not functioning on enough sleep the day I bought the flannel and I didn't buy enough!!! So anyway I improvised and went with a tie style quilting, instead of sewing the sandwhichs together. This uses less fabric. I now know how to properly calculate the yardage needed for these type of quilts so I won't make that mistake again!

Anyway this quilt will fit flat inside the crib. A very stylish starting point for your baby girls room decor!

FOR SALE $50.00

Spring into Spring

Ahhh today is a nice day at the beginning to April! Finally I feel like Spring is here. I decided to go outside and retake some pictures of some crib blankets that I have made. These are all FOR SALE!

Citrus-cicle!- This sweet little blanket with fit in a crib. It was made with left overs of some fun and beautifully bright colors of flannel that I wanted to use up. My mom helped me finish it up since I was bogged with a few projects. She tied it nicely with orange and green yarn. I love it. It is so cheerful that it is sure to put even the crabbiest baby (or mama) in a good mood.

FOR SALE- $35.00

Pink-Brown Diamonds- This blanket again was made using up some leftovers that I had. I hate to waste! It is sized to fit in a crib and is sure to keep your little princess warm!

FOR SALE $35.00

Mommy loves big bibs!

FOR SALE!! 4 in the pattern above and many more can be made to order!!

I hate that many of the bibs you can find in the store are so small. They are great when baby is very young to clean up a little milk dribble and maybe catch some drool. My baby is a real drooler! But when it comes to meal times, they just don't cut it.

I had found a bib at a garage sale which ended up being the best bib of all...because it actually covers him! So I traced it out onto some paper, then began to sew! And voila! Here is a bib I like, and I am sure you moms out there will too!

They are big, soft, and made of flannel. I have yet to find a suitable waterproof material for the back. Some plastics are nasty. So when I do, I might modify I bit. But for now, these absorbant-buddies are my best friend.

Cancer Fundraiser

FOR SALE!! MANY OF THESE PRETTY THINGS! ALL MONEY TO MY PLEDGE FOR THE WEEKEND TO END WOMENS CANCERS!

Okay now that the little guy is in bed I have a few minutes to write down a few things. First, I mentioned in my last post that I will be at the Family Fair in Cold Lake on Feb 27. I have decided just to do the one day since I don't have very many items made. I hope it doesn't end up being a total flop for me, since I don't have much to show. I have been sewing steadily, when I can, to have some things to sell and display. But it's really hard to do that kind of thing with a little one. Oh well, that's the way it goes, and it's only because the pressure is on to have things done by then!

Anyway, moving on, as some of you know, I am doing a cancer fundraiser this year. I am participating in the Weekend to End Women's Cancers on August 7 and 8, 2010. I will be walking 60km in Edmonton. I have been so fortunate so far to have people who have donated money. I have raised $200 of my $2000 dollars. That's exciting!

One especially exciting thing that I am doing to raise some more funds is making and selling fabric flower accessories. So far you have seen them on some of my bags. But now I am attaching them to hair elastics, and clips too. These look awesome in your hair and also on your wrist, as you can see in the picture above. All of the ones for my fundraiser will include the color pink, since that is the representing color. But I am going to add some other colors in the mix too.

I am selling them for $3.50. That might sound a little steep, but keep in mind all of the money will be going toward my cause. So essentially I am donating all the time it takes to make them and the cost of the materials.

They really are a bargain. When was the last time you were in the mall and saw such a unique and pretty accessory for a great price AND a great cause?

Hurry Up & Sew

FOR SALE!! ALL ITEMS PICTURED ABOVE! CONTACT ME!

Recently I was asked if I wanted to particpate in Family Fair which is a trade fair happening in Cold Lake at the end of the month. The link is http://www.idoweddingplanning.ca/. Of course I was not prepared because I had not heard of it. Now I have been trying to sew like a mad woman to have a few things for my display. Here is what I have made so far.

The crib quilt is pink and brown, with tied pink yarn and is rag time style (frayed edges).

The Left overs quilt is a topper I made out of left over pink and brown flannel. I didn't have enough to make another patch work.

Sorry I don't have time to write too much exciting detail since my Cody wants my attention!

Here is another version of Simplicity Pattern 2750, the same as the one I posted earlier made with the pink and white circles fabric.

And the Sarah purse is one I made my own design with, by modifying another pattern. It is similar to the Pursey pattern but has a rounded bottom.

Loop-de-loop

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I make three basic styles of scarves that can be altered by color(s), and the addition of a flower or other accessory. Here is a picture of my "laugh" style scarf. It is a skinny scarf with lots of length for lots of loops. If you take a look under the Creations List in the side bar you will see the other styles under scarves.
