</div><div style="text-align: center;"> What better way to top of a beautiful day at the beach then by a snuggly robe to keep you warm on the way home? The kids LOVE their robes! Thank you <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/2011/06/beach-robe-pattern-is-here.html">MADE</a> for the super easy to follow directions and great pattern! Ceri and I also found a new obsession while making these robes - <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/technique-understanding-bias-and-making.html">BIAS TAPE</a>. It's always seemed super intimidating to make but really... super, super, super easy and fun to make. It's very therapeutic pulling yards and yards of fabric threw a little bias tape maker! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Iron your "Wonder Under" onto the felt. Make sure that your heat setting is not too hot and that you stay on the Wonder Under.

Now apply your paint. You will notice on the big heart that there is a little bit of bunching going on. Don't worry about it...It usually works out just fine in the end. If worst comes to worst it will look a little "vintage". perfect. Thinner t-shirts like that one are just hard to manage because they are so stretchy.<br />

11. Once your shirt is nice and washed and dried, take off the backing of the felt continents, line it up where you want them to go and iron into place. Use that paper towel again because the cheep felt will melt and all your hard work will be wasted...or maybe it will turn out looking "vintage"... but odds are you'll ruin your iron...don't you think?<br />

They turned out pretty cute! I made the pattern from a pre-existing apron and altered it a bit to make it super cute with the ruffled bottom. I love me a cute apron!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuMnc60kNxsW5kSxrDZFsliRP5cSrt4xDq08rFunwjr2myN68o7DeSEJhPs_GQXvsWjAKg00g40F_jOBz5NvNgMD9IVFiCitDfXU2FSEcll2wXUEvoMqrOuhTTJIjFUJlg9wsmB9Acw4D/s1600/aprons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuMnc60kNxsW5kSxrDZFsliRP5cSrt4xDq08rFunwjr2myN68o7DeSEJhPs_GQXvsWjAKg00g40F_jOBz5NvNgMD9IVFiCitDfXU2FSEcll2wXUEvoMqrOuhTTJIjFUJlg9wsmB9Acw4D/s320/aprons.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

What I didn't expect was that THIS carseat was European...oy vey. Needless to say it was no Graco. Lots of pieces...one HUGE carseat puzzle. In the end it all came together and looked great but I wont lie...I was worried for a bit. <br />
<br />
Things I learned:<br />
1. Never underestimate how much time a "first pancake" project will take. <br />
2. When doing something like this take LOTS AND LOTS of pictures so piecing it back together wont be so difficult<br />
3. The later the hour the more seam ripping will be done...better to say goodnight before silly mistakes start to be made.<br />
4. Always live close by to Ceri so she can bail me out of any sewing crisis...she did the canopy...again..time...I ran out. <br />
5. Just say no to European projects...period.<br />
6. Check the "die lot" when buying bias tape all "just peachy"'s are not created equal <br />
6. learn how to take better pictures...I'm in awe by so many crafters out there who know how to work a camera. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The end result turned out awesome and my co-worker loved it! I'm in love with the gray, red, and peach combo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInkoxsU446dcP7XJ5S0AJAqMhzAbHrBqchWe-65fE0TVjVAhyrBO9cls0ydkEvGY-KTWYvsmBJcxU70VDYAQ_LpCHLQqLNOuYJ3hPnPZ0dwicNVdX9FJ82jdfNiegitMvuvIZv1RduTOs/s1600/IMG_0660.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInkoxsU446dcP7XJ5S0AJAqMhzAbHrBqchWe-65fE0TVjVAhyrBO9cls0ydkEvGY-KTWYvsmBJcxU70VDYAQ_LpCHLQqLNOuYJ3hPnPZ0dwicNVdX9FJ82jdfNiegitMvuvIZv1RduTOs/s320/IMG_0660.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We were in the market for a new console and after looking and looking and only finding things that I loved in the $500+ dollar range we needed to come up with a plan B. Enter <a href="http://ana-white.com/">Ana White</a> from knock off wood. That woman is amazing. Matt (my husband) is pretty amazing too. He just needed me to tell him what I wanted. I was looking through her sight and saw <a href="http://ana-white.com/2010/04/furniture-plans-apothecary-cabinet-console-part-1.html"><span style="font-size: x-large;">this</span></a>. gorgeous.

Ceri and I have jumped aboard and are riding the awesome wave that is 5 meals in 1 hour. To celebrate this new chapter in my family's dinner life I made this board.<br />
<br />
It was a collaborative effort. I called Ceri up one day on my way to Goodwill with this "dinner plate" idea (mounting plates and using white board markers to write on them) but I needed help on how to mount or hang them. She came up with the board idea. genius, yes? (She totally got the brains of the family) I bought all the supplies then enlisted my husband to do the manual labor of cutting all the wood.

BUT now that we have more energy (ha!) and a new outlook we're ready to be back. It's not like we stopped crafting and doing boutiques...we just didn't blog about it. <br />
<br />
We had a great time the past two weekends setting up boutiques in front of our homes. We got some surprisingly good traffic - but best of all we had some good, quality sister time. This is our spread from yesterday.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">These are new: Aprons and Oven Mitts - I love them so much! </div><br />

If you're not a sewer - or feel crafty you don't have to. All you really need for a basic wrap is 5-6 yards of fabric and a pair of scissors! You can actually get 2 wraps out of it. I'm always a sucker for a 2 for one special!<br /><br />I serged the edges and added a button to mark the middle point because that's just how I roll. But if you use a jersey type fabric you can leave the sides alone since they wont fray!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZerB6KEzRGOvzvdlRlrKD1EzTDfFpgOuBvUoxUmc43zJczE7s1VQB1scgSMH-doh3p6JNRKkSbP8W1K5wpjo7419JoBEcaXbWuan6juxnZ-n4XEcWQXRX8LPBHISlSzDNmjQp6YRhDLQ/s1600/wrap2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZerB6KEzRGOvzvdlRlrKD1EzTDfFpgOuBvUoxUmc43zJczE7s1VQB1scgSMH-doh3p6JNRKkSbP8W1K5wpjo7419JoBEcaXbWuan6juxnZ-n4XEcWQXRX8LPBHISlSzDNmjQp6YRhDLQ/s320/wrap2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452774318919199154" border="0" /></a><br />Speaking of serging...This is the first time I feel like I got the tension just right - isn't it nice? I {heart} my serger!<br /><br />This is the first time I'll be using a wrap other than my ring sling (which I LOVE) but since I could make this for so stinkin' cheep, I figured why not?<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">p.s. there has been a lot of recent warnings in the news about the safety of baby wraps...in my opinion baby wraps are completely safe to use as long as you feel confident in how you use it. Common sense first always! I've always practiced with a baby doll first to get the basics down before placing a real baby in there.

It's combination of Hooterhider and poncho. With my first baby, I liked the boning aspect of the Hooterhider, but HATED how exposed I felt on the sides. I'm just not comfortable showing skin...even with my mom or sister. I liked the poncho idea but I missed the boning...so I made a combo! I added hooks on the inside to provide a sleeve-like aspect that can hook and unhook depending on what side the baby is on and made the neck width adjustable.<br /><br />This being a first pancake, I'm not sure how this will work out for me. I'm hoping for success...but I wont know until the baby arrives and I can try it out!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;">(More posts to come!

Let me just say that I'm in love with fusible webbing! A totally easy, fun, and fast project! I hope Emmie's little buddy (who's name also begins with an E) loves this cape as much as Emmie did. I'm thinking she's going to need one now too! The neck fits her a little big...but her buddy is bigger than her so I have no doubt that it will be perfect for him!

I searched EVERYWHERE and didn't find anything - no foot, no cover, nothing. The only thing that I can think that happened it that I got a little too zellous in nesting mode and accidently threw it out. But I really don't know. I told my sister about the missing foot but couldn't bring my self to tell her about the cover.<br /><br />Anyways I went out and bought a replacement for both at Joann's but when I got home I felt really poopy about the cover. It didn't have a nice hole for the handle...I wanted it to have a hole for the handle. I knew if the replacement I got didn't have a handle that my sister would hold it against me for the rest of my life - I have too many things that she holds over me...I didn't want the list to grow so what did I do? I pouted for a while....kicked a door and then....TA - DA...the light went on - I will MAKE her a cover!<br /><br />I found <span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://chezlarsson.typepad.com/myblog/2008/10/sewing-machine-cover-how-to.html">this tutorial</a></span> and got to work. I think it came out good - I think I would definitely do the binding on the handle hole differently if I could do it over....but it's a first pancake right?Elysehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00195364176349167834noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446898956617220990.post-78275200813349692302010-01-10T15:46:00.001-08:002010-01-10T15:53:24.714-08:00For Holly<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRY-wygEU5zrxBfpTc04DeqCt3ybpUlXOVCbxFrKRXix1eTNszOidhUlkUha27wTuQfLmLGIQBZxf4so7SgcYrzt0tSOSflBOgNyEwjBkW-m6dWvanTvYIIJS85rsvfuPOgPgF3OkI0be2/s1600-h/100_4410.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRY-wygEU5zrxBfpTc04DeqCt3ybpUlXOVCbxFrKRXix1eTNszOidhUlkUha27wTuQfLmLGIQBZxf4so7SgcYrzt0tSOSflBOgNyEwjBkW-m6dWvanTvYIIJS85rsvfuPOgPgF3OkI0be2/s200/100_4410.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425262738366102850" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi18Y_qqoAW_C8NC9egeq7u7lHDIvEXTLW-v1s5D2bP3vSR0DizU6OqZcUx7BFkkhMC-nDof8cZKVAXFnkh__cujz_SnRmxMqC1iIu0lYslzgBNP0xXvbDDX7UkCzZEdhqX8BX4flQw5N6O/s1600-h/100_4412.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi18Y_qqoAW_C8NC9egeq7u7lHDIvEXTLW-v1s5D2bP3vSR0DizU6OqZcUx7BFkkhMC-nDof8cZKVAXFnkh__cujz_SnRmxMqC1iIu0lYslzgBNP0xXvbDDX7UkCzZEdhqX8BX4flQw5N6O/s200/100_4412.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425262746300872514" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />I've had this fabric for <span style="font-style: italic;">months</span>.
