Finally a new creation

I know it isn't Saturday yet. But it snowed today and I was able to get lots of sewing done because the kids were not begging me to go out an play. And I've been meaning to do up a prototype of one of these for a while now. I had all the stuff, I just needed to put it together. So here it is. I'm going to sell it at the garage sale(at a discount because it is my prototype) and see what the interest will be in them and if it looks like people are interested then I'll make more. I will make them to order for anyone that wants one. They will be priced at about $50.

It sure been a long while...

I have been so busy getting things made for the Kids, Tots and Babes Garage sale this Saturday that I haven't made anything new, just a lot of old favorites. So if you are going to be in the Lethbridge area, and have a few hours to spend, why not come on by the Lethbridge Exhibition grounds and check out the garage sale. It is HUGE and everything is dedicated to kids, tots, and babes(just like the name suggests). There are lots of new and used vendors. You will be sure to find something completely unique and just for you(or your kidlets). I personally will have a great selection of all of my creations and my sister-in-law will be there with her Peek-a-boob nursing covers. You wont be disappointed! The doors open at 9am and it is open until 1pm. Admission is $3.

When this garage sale is over, then hopefully I'll be back to working on new creations and I have a couple of tutorials planned. But we'll see what actually gets done, the weather is getting nice and my gardens are calling me. I love spring. I love working out in the yard as much as I love sewing.

Convert any chair into a High Chair...or a child restraint system.

Here is my newest creation. I had never seen one of these before until I did a google search for "travel high chairs" last summer. It wasn't what I was looking for then(I wanted one that clamped on to the table), but I stored the idea away in my brain, because I knew that it could be a handy item, and one day I would create one. So now I have. Again I did a google search for them, so that I could look at how they worked and what features they came with. There were actually quite a few different ones out there. So I started playing around with some of those different features and styles to create my own pattern. And this is what I have come up with. So far I haven't found a chair that it doesn't fit on(which is a good thing). I've made it so that it buckles up in the back with an adjustable strap, instead of just a tie, and there are belt loops to keep it in place. I am pretty happy with the out come. If you are interested in one, they are in my Etsy shop(link is on the side bar) or posted in my facebook group.

something new from what was old

I don't know what my 6 year old is doing now, that she hasn't done in years past, but this kid is wearing holes in the knees of her pants faster than I can replace them. It doesn't matter if they were bought brand new or if they were second hand, she will wear them out equally as fast. I've been meaning to do something with these holy pants for some time now, I have a stash of them. I have made ruffly skirts out of them in the past, but I decided to do something different this time. So I made a pair of ruffly, twirly pants. They were a huge hit. She is totally in love with them and would wear them everyday if she could find the perfect shirt to go with them for every day too.I will be making more of these and some capris too! More than likely I will have them for sale in my Etsy shop or my facebook group as well, so keep your eyes open.

LOST: Reward offered

Have you seen the fabric to match this patterned cat?


It's missing. I can't find it anywhere. I told a lady that I would make a second cat for her so that she would have matching ones for her twin baby girls because I KNEW that I had more. Almost a full yard more(less the amount I cut out for this cat). I know that I have a lot of fabric in a lot of boxes. And I know that it really isn't that organized, but I do keep like fabrics in the same box (quilting cottons in one, flannel in another, corduroy in yet another and so on). I have looked high and low and I can not find it anywhere. Where could it possibly have gone? Did some fabric thief break into my house needing that exact piece of fabric and took only that...or did they? Maybe there is more missing and I just haven't noticed yet. OK, it seems as though I have also lost my mind. So if any of you out there in bloggerland have seen either of these items, would you kindly send them back this way?

A Give-a-way worth checking out.

Hey everybody, my sister-in-law's business is being featured in a give away at Cute Like Me! You should really go check it out. She is the one that inspired me to get off my duff and get doing what I said I was going to do for years. She started up Peek-a-boob nursing covers. Totally cute! Totally trendy! Totally necessary! Anyways, she just started doing it. And I thought to myself, "I've been talking about creating and selling my stuff for a few years now, I really should do something about it". So I did. Not only did she inspire me to get busy, but she passes her scraps on to me, and I create more fabulous things. So really if you haven't already stopped reading this and headed on over to check out the give-a-way, you really should.

Creatures in the cuddly variety

Aren't they adorable?! I decided that I wanted to try to create other kinds of creatures that were inspired by the cuddly cat that I made my daughter for Christmas. These are what I have come up with so far. A Monster, a Bear, another Cat, an Alien, a Dog, A Bunny, a Frog and a patterned Cat. I've been experimenting with fabrics, not one of the above creatures are made with the same kind of fabric. They are so much fun to make. We'll see how they do in my Etsy shop and in my facebook group. If you want one, come on buy the shop and check them out!
