Cord cozy!

2010-02-09T22:27:00.000-06:00

I'll give one cord cozy FREE to the person who suggests the best name for it!

No more tangles for your earphone cords. Thread the cord through the sleeve. The sleeve scrunches down when you want to use your earphones, and when it's time to put them away pull the sleeve back up and wrap them around the cute carrying case.

Baby towel set, now with actual babies!

2010-01-04T20:58:00.003-06:00

How could bath time NOT be fun with such a cute & cozy towel?

Yoga bag!

2009-12-07T21:59:00.001-06:00

Another creation inspired by Marley!

More Marley bags to donate.

These bags will be autioned off at the Cuningham Group Creative Exhibition to raise money for the Emergency Food Shelf Newtork.

Baby towel & washcloth

2009-11-09T20:00:00.001-06:00

Love this turtle fabric that I found at Treadle Yard Goods. This is the first towel I've done where I also decorated the hood. Packed up with a set of turtle bath toys from Target it made a great baby gift!

This year's halloween dragon!

2009-10-31T20:00:00.001-05:00

So this year Bee wanted to be a blue dragon with black spines. I brought him to the fabric store with me to pick out the fabric, and as we were walking in he said, "I'm not picky. As long as it's blue and black it will be fine." And then proceeded to examine every offered choice extremely closely, declaring some too thin, some too blue, some too purple, some too fuzzy, some too sparkly... And on and on. Finally we settled on this.

AJ bag

2009-10-12T20:00:00.000-05:00

I got an e-mail after the Liz Logelin auction wondering if I'd make another robot bag, one that could hold a laptop. So I made it bigger, squared off the corners a little, and added a back pocket that holds a laptop sleeve. But when I was done it was different enough that it wasn't really a Marley bag anymore, so it became the AJ bag. I don't have great pictures, because I was in a hurry to get it in the mail.

Marley bag with horse!

2009-09-08T20:00:00.001-05:00

I love this bag. Everything about it turned out perfect, with one exception. The zipper for the zippered pocket is backwards. But it was my first zippered pocket ever (with the help of this tutorial), and other than that I love the way it turned out. I can't believe I was so scared of these for so long. And as awesome as the bag is, the thank-you note that I got for the bag is even more awesome.

Marley Bag with Robots!

2009-09-03T21:38:00.003-05:00

I will be donating this bag to the Liz Logelin Foundation for the auction that is part of "A Night to Remember."

Nap mat cover and matching pillowcase!

2009-08-16T20:00:00.001-05:00

I love how this nap mat cover and pillow turned out!

Either they didn't do nap mat covers when Bee was little or I was a terrible mom, because he never had one of these.

Evil stepsister costume.

2009-07-19T19:53:00.000-05:00

One of the mooblets was in Cinderella this summer. She designed her own evil stepsister costume and sent me the sketch, which I turned into a dress for her to wear in the play.

Baby towel.

2009-07-16T19:56:00.001-05:00

Baby towels now include coordinating washcloth!

More blocks

2009-06-04T20:00:00.004-05:00

Another set of blocks from Amy Butler's Little Stitches book. After getting all the fabric I was still one print short, but I realized that some of the fabric left over from Addie's elephant matched really nicely. I had planned never to use that fabric again, but since this was for her little sister, it seemed like the perfect thing to do.

Graduation gift

2009-06-04T20:00:00.002-05:00

I made this bag for my cousin's high school graduation. She likes dogs, and if we want to stretch for deeper meaning perhaps the roads are indicative of the paths she will take in life... Whatever. We stuffed it full of cash, which was probably the best part...

Birdie sling.

2009-05-14T20:01:00.000-05:00

Anna bag.

2009-04-28T20:05:00.000-05:00

This isn't really my original design, so I called it the Anna bag because that's who I made it for. I saw a similar bag at Crafty Planet, but the pattern will be in the One Yard Wonders book that hasn't been published yet. This isn't exactly the same, but pretty close.

Another Marley bag.

2008-12-22T12:00:00.006-06:00

When I first made a Marley bag I thought it would look best done with corduroy. And I was right. This is my favorite of all the Marley bags.

Building Blocks

2008-12-22T12:00:00.003-06:00

I made these as a Christmas gift for my niece. I was cursing the project while I did it--every single block seemed to take forever--and then the second it was done I couldn't wait to make it again. The blocks and the bag turned out SO cute! The pattern is from Amy Butler's Little Stitches for Little Ones.

Marley diaper bag.

2008-12-09T12:00:00.006-06:00

The Marley diaper bag adds a side pocket for even more storage.

Halloween dragon!

2008-10-31T22:00:00.006-05:00

This year's dragon and the costume that he inspired...This was the most complex dragon yet due to the wings. It was Bee's own idea to design them so they snapped to his sleeves when he didn't need them for flying!

Marley bag.

2008-10-02T12:00:00.003-05:00

One of Dan's coworkers needed a bag to replace one that had completely fallen apart. And the Marley bag was born.

The birthdaliens!!!

2008-08-27T22:38:00.001-05:00

Bee's birthday party theme was outer space. He designed his invitations himself with these cute little alien designs. So the Monday before the party, I have a great idea! I will sew aliens matching the invitations and give them away as party favors! How hard can it be to see 18 aliens in 4 days? Okay, harder than I thought, but it was WAY worth it.

The small Amy Butler Frenchy bag.

2008-08-25T22:31:00.002-05:00

I left out the inside pockets and added a row of beading.

Happy first day of kindergarten, Laura!

Tom and Jerry jammies!

2008-07-30T22:28:00.001-05:00

A birthday present for Bee.
