A couple things!

Owen turned 4 months yesterday! It's hard for me to believe that he's already that big! I mean he is smiley, and laughs, and drools! He's just such a delight!

Here's his 4 month shirt. Believe me, I was tempted beyond belief to do another owl. REALLY tempted. But I resisted. The end result is cute!



Appliqued frog, and appliqued "4". Love it.

Then I've been knitting away. My friend Shannon liked Owen's blessing outfit. So I asked her if she wanted me to knit one for her son's baptism. He was born 8 days after Owen!





(flash wasn't ready for this one!)


I'm SO excited to see pictures of little Graham in this special outfit!

Hooty-Hoot!

Someone else likes owls! Yay!

I met my friend Jill almost SIX years ago. And when I say met, I mean, online. In a forum for pregnant people. Wow. That was a long time ago. Her little girl is celebrating her FIFTH birthday in March, just like my Julian.

Her niece is also celebrating her first birthday! So fun! I asked her if she wanted some birthday girl shirts, and she did.






We had a busy weekend. My wonderful husband painted my living room, so much crafting wasn't done. BUT I did manage to squeak out a camera strap cover! I've been lusting over those found on Etsy, and after some serious research (Ok just a random google) I found a fabulous tutorial! Saved myself $30!

You can find the tutorial here.



Sorry for the not so stellar photo, this was taken with my phone.

I'm finishing up the last of the teacher valentine's tonight, so Julian can deliver them tomorrow. Pictures to come!

The Long Awaited 3 Month Shirt

Ok, so I may be stretching the truth. You haven't been waiting that long! But here it is!





I pretty much LOVE how it turned out!

OK I lied

Owen's shirt isn't next. I whipped this up for my cousin's little girl (that makes her my 2nd cousin, right?)



I'm mailing the boys' valentine's so I figured what better than a Valentine's Day shirt to go with it! My boys don't appreciate the pinkness of V-day :) Barry will be happy that instead of buying MORE fabric, I'm using up what I have. This is progress, right?

Birthday Shirt!

My friend Sandi asked me to sew her up a 1st birthday shirt. Her friend has a daughter that's turning one soon! I have boys, so I LOVE the chance to do something girly! &hearts




I'm a little obsessed with owls right now. My obsession may or may not be reaching unhealthy levels.

Up next on the blog? Owen's 3 month shirt! Stay tuned!

What?! You do things other than knit?

Occasionally. And I do mean occasionally.

My friend Crystal's little girl is turning one! Crystal is a fabulous baker, and makes these delectable looking cupcakes. (She lives in Jersey so I've never actually tried a cupcake, but I can only imagine!)

So I made this cute little cupcake birthday shirt! (The colors look awful. AWFUL, but I think it turned out pretty cute!)

Black shirt, Hot Pink Polka Dot bottom and candle, White Minky 'frosting' and yellow flame!

It's been a while....

But here is something I whipped up this morning for a birthday party we're going to today. The birthday boy is (shockingly) 2! And loves Thomas!



My 2 year old saw the "chugga" shirt I was making for the birthday boy, and said, "Mama you make me chugga too?" Awww

Rebecca's Set, Part Deux

My sewing machine and I? Not the best of friends today. But here is Max's little shirt. I can hardly wait to see the whole set in 'action' :)

The Wanna Be Crafty-BLOG CANDY {that means FREE}

So, I've said before I wanted to do something, and give it away for {free}. Here it is folk(s). My blog candy.

I am going to applique a shirt for you. Now remember, I'm just learning, so the seams might not be perfectly alligned, but I promise the shirt will be wearable and cute {at least cute enough for my kids to wear}!

So here's what you do.

Leave me a comment, with your name. You will get to choose from my available fabrics, {And to be fair, I have kind of a lot of fabric, but I might go out and buy something new for you!} and I will purchase a shirt in the size you need.

The winner will be selected ONE WEEK from today, that's NEXT SUNDAY!

Julian will help me. So that's it. The Wanna-Be's Blog Candy!!!
