I made these for my sister-in-law for her birthday. She loves owls.
I had seen something similar at Kohls and thought, "I could make those." I embroidered the words with my machine, which was super easy. I don't know why I've never tried it before. I liked them so much I made a set for me. I told my sister-in-law I'll make her another towel with two owls and put on it, "I love my hooters." Too much? Maybe. Maybe not.
A teacher at my school is having a baby girl. She's due in February- the perfect opportunity for a quilt in yummy pinks and chocolate browns. Her shower was last week Thursday but I just couldn't get it done by then- I finished a day late. But I decided to hold onto it through the weekend to get some pictures of it.
Wisconsin winters are so gray- blehk! I can handle the cold- it's the grayness that wears me down. But Saturday was sunny and gorgeous! So I tramped into the back yard with my snow boots and camera. The neighbors probably think I'm screwy hanging quilts on the fence in the dead of winter.
The pattern was Sweet Pea from Camille's Simplify.
Love Love Love this book. Eye candy galore! For more lovelies, go browse through her blog.
I hope mom and baby love this quilt as much as I do- it's hard to part with all those yummy valentine colors- makes me want to eat one of these cupcakes. Deelish!!
I had quite a bit of puppy fabric left over from this quilt.
So I used what I had left for my cousin's baby shower. She's having a boy, which gave me a reason to use what was left.
A simple design that shows off those cute puppies.
I cranked out Dorothy's costume in a day- something I hope to never have to do again! (Every year I promise myself I'll get started ahead of time and every year-well, you know what happens!) I used this pattern from Simplicity (4139), and I have to say when I first looked at the number of steps I was a bit nervous. But the directions were so clear, it went together very easily.
And Dorothy was all ready for her costume dance Friday night- ruby slippers and all!
Saturday night it was pizza mummies.
So yummy- they were scary!
October has got to be one of my favorite months of the year. 
I love the weather- cool but sunny.
And I love the sound of the leaves crunching under foot.
And I love the fall colors- the oranges, yellows and reds.
And of course- witchy green :)
I bought this yarn from Shady Haven's Fiber Designs at the state fair this past August. Love. It is so soft. It's hand dyed and the colors are gorgeous.
I made this bunny for a little girl who hasn't been feeling very well. Her mom is my daughter's dance teacher. I got the pattern here.
She's all ready to give big cheerful hugs!
