Finished Project Friday: Buttercup Bag for NB

Image
By
This is another buttercup bag I made for a friend back in Minnesota to give to her daughter.  Making the wallet was a learning experience all over again.  So, I took pictures along the way to have for a guide the next time I make a wallet (which I will end up doing for my daughters).  I still see all the things that I didn't do that I should have.  Oh well.  I put fusible fleece on the outer part of the bag, and the strap, which I think really helped it to be more sturdy.  Anyway, I'm sure all of my friends and family are sick of seeing these bags of mine, but I'm really only posting them for my records and portfolio ... really that's why I post everything I make.  What do you think ... should I separate my projects from my family blog and put them on a separate blog, like I did for my recipes?

I have no idea what you "should have done that you didn't do". :) Your bags are so cute!! I think it's a great idea to document your projects the way you have been -- that way you don't make the same mistakes every time (I'm so good at that with recipes! You should see my recipe cards...There are little notes on them to remind me what worked so that I don't mess the recipe up. Again. :) :) ). Anyway, I personally don't mind that you have your projects on your blog. It's part of your life, too. :)

I love that you post all your little projects! It makes me feel better about all my projects. They're so beautiful too and inspiring. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have hemmed my sons pants into shorts! Very inspiring. But I say you do what makes you happy. :)

Of course you should post them. I really like seeing what you're up to! That way I can bug you for ideas too!

Not sick of them at all - especially when you post hints and tips of what you changed. I was thinking of how to make the strap sturdier, now I know. Thanks! And the wallet is adorable. What a great gift.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
