Saving Jeans
Lil' B just wore through the knee in one of my favorite pairs of her pants. It was sad because they didn't even make through a year, and usually all her pants do, and these jeans were really cute! So I decided to extend their life a little bit longer by putting a knee patch on both legs, and I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Christmas Stockings
Over here at my house last night, the elves were busy crafting! Or one really pregnant woman :)
I made two stockings last. The rust orange one is actually a replica of my daughter' stocking currently hanging in our house. The next one is probably for the new babe. I posted both on Etsy and we'll see if we get any love!
I do love making stockings. They are what really brought me to my love of felt, my favorite material to work with.

Bolt Fabric Sale
Just showing off all the fun finds I got from a Bolt fabric sale. For Portland locals, Bolt is a fantastic fabric store located in the Alberta area. The store is about the size of my living room, but the good thing is that you want almost everything they have packed in there. Everything is 10% to 50% off today and tomorrow!
B, my hubby, had to go to a work conference so I had the kids to myself. So I was a little hesitant to go to the sale, but so glad I did. It was crazy and I got a few funny glances toting a stroller, pregnant belly, and 4 year old into the store.
Mostly I went because I wanted to make the kids some cute pillow cases, because we only have to flowery ones in rotation, and the boy decor is lacking! I'll probably have to do some sewing today with all this cute stuff and I'll update later. Happy Weekend!

Mushrooms and Works in Progress
So this is a little work in progress. I hope it turns out to be a beautiful wall hanging for the kids' room. We shall see.
And this is a mushroom I was forced to make, due to cuteness. It's not a cute as I had hoped, but still pretty fun, lovable, and squeezable.
Ah, sad little crown. Nobody loves you. This crown is in a little shop in town, and I love it, but nobody else does. So I probably won't make another. Here's to your sweet memory.
A whale sewn on a shirt! Not much more to say. I haven't really done much of this before, so it's not very well done, but did the job of making the shirt more aesthetically pleasing.
An action shot of whale on the shirt. Yogurt is also shown in this pic :) And the last is my sweet lil'b and it just ended up in this post just because.
