Burp cloths and onesies

May 1, 2009 By Char @ Crap I've Made 26 Comments

Sometimes I wonder if I’m considering having another kid because I really think we should have one or if I just can’t bear the thought of not making tiny cute stuff anymore. Case in point? Baby shower tomorrow. How many onesies with matching burp cloths did I make?

FOUR!!!

Seriously…I can’t stop.

At least there are a couple of different sizes to choose from?

Any super cute ideas for packaging them?

And I’m going to try to get BC to help me attach PDF’s of the applique patterns, if you’re wanting to make your own. (Except for that mouse head. I don’t want to get sued.)

The Plague

Stay away. We have it.

Macy hasn’t been to school yet this week. Campbell barfed all over BC’s truck. Bennett’s going through diapers like they’re going out of style.

Only Keller has escaped unscathed.

We’re driving each other nuts.

On the bright side, we did come up with a new family rule….”TAPE IS NOT A TOY”.

If you didn’t win, you can take it up with my lovely assistant. Just remember, he’s MEAN. And I have no idea what that is on/under his nose. Probably a battle wound. He’s smiling like that because he’s out of bed.

Heather Bailey’s Daily Spice Halter Apron

April 24, 2009 By Char @ Crap I've Made 13 Comments

After reading Alissa’s post about family dinners, I knew exactly what she needed for a housewarming gift.

The pattern is available in Heather’s shop. I purchased it locally at my favorite store ever because I’m impatient. Plus, any excuse to look at fabric kid-free is a good one. The fabric is also Heather Bailey.

I sewed a size small. The pattern calls for one fabric for the outside and another for the lining. I decided to switch things up a bit. The 1/2 yard of the lining fabric will give you enough to make contrasting pockets if you cut very carefully. I also used the lining waistband piece for the outside and the outside piece for the lining.

It was a quick, easy sew and I think it turned out WAY cute (if I do say so myself). I didn’t especially like how the halter ties attached. There’s probably a trick to making that easier, but I didn’t figure it out on my first sew through. The directions were clear and easy to follow and I’ll definitely be making this one again.

Potatoes in a garbage can?

April 23, 2009 By Char @ Crap I've Made 3 Comments

We had a great garden going at our old house…more tomatoes than anyone could possibly eat, cantaloupe (totally had to look that up), watermelon, peppers, herbs, pumpkins….deliciousness. We spent hours tilling and composting and getting the soil just right. Then we moved. We’ve been here for 5.5 years now and have never been able to replicate that success. Last year we tried to build our own upside down tomato planters. The result? A failure of epic proportions.

This year’s crazy hare brained scheme? Growing potatoes in a garbage can.

I’m trying it so you don’t have to. :o)

Why didn’t I think of this before now?

No cake stand? No problem! Plate + upside down bowl = close enough. And yes, that frosting really is that color. “Neon” on the food coloring box does indeed mean neon.

Easy Skillet Bread

April 22, 2009 By Char @ Crap I've Made 4 Comments

Recipe from here. I added chopped green onions, cheese, and bacon bits (real bacon, not the ones you sold for your elementary school fundraiser that caused people to break teeth). A teenaged neighbor helped me whip this up. We might have eaten all of it before BC even got home. Don’t judge. It was delicious.
