I'm all caught up!

Woo hoo! That was soooo much better than adding things to my old site!

I made these for Danielle for Christmas, with fabric I bought in Hawaii close to 3 years ago.

My first quilt! A super-simple strip quilt with a polar fleece back.

A diaper bag... really just one of my purses made larger—much larger.

Part of a group project; these squares will end up as part of Kat's couch quilt. I think 10 or so of us ladies are in on it.

Almost up to date now...

A sweater I crocheted in 1 week for Susannah's first birthday. A super easy pattern.

Our camera bag was too much to schlep around all the time, and I was afraid the camera would get scratched up in my purse without a cover, so I busted out this cozy in about an hour's time.

Ava is always losing her socks and shoes or pulling them off, so I crocheted these booties with ties so they'd stay on. She hates them.

Ava hates hats, too. So I thought I'd crochet one for her with ties. It stays on only slightly longer than the booties.

Andy liked Ava's earflap hat so much that he asked for one his size.

Sorta recent crocheted stuff.

It took a few months (15-30 minutes at a time) to crochet this sweater for Ava. Thank goodness it still fits her.

This pin cushion was a birthday gift for Sara.

This pin was a Christmas gift for Nina.

This wrap was a Christmas gift for my Mom.

Then I got back into sewing.

This was a gift for a 2-year-old. She may not use it for awhile, but that's okay.

Ava sure likes this taggie and its button eyes.

This was a gift for a friend's baby. I made the thing on the left, too. :)


I got this pattern from Sara. These dresses are reversible: one side is a print fabric, and I block printed on the other side.

Then there was the baby boom.

I just had to make gifts for all of them...

Damn you Martha Stewart. I already have more than enough to keep me busy.

While on maternity leave, while Ava was still quite little, I watched an episode of "Martha" on which the guest block printed on t-shirts. The main gimmick of my letterpress business was hand-cut linoleum blocks, so I had plenty of material to print with. These are the ones I printed for Ava.

Woodworking.

I made this as a wedding gift for some friends. They have a Craftsman-style house and needed numbers at the time. I used a router to remove the wood from the number areas, then cut sheet copper and hammered it before gluing it into the recessed numbers.
