I am have such a slacker lately...

The reason I haven't added anything is I have been really lazy in the taking pictures of stuff and of course the actually making of it. But about the weekend of the 18th of this month I am having a friend come visit me and we are gonna craft it up!!! LOL...

Origami Crane Doll

It sounds a whole lot easier than it is. I am going to make an origami crane doll. Well this is to start. I want to make a crane mobile for my baby. I have a mobile pattern but before I go and do that I want to practice making the doll. I have drawn out a very... very simple design. Hopefully it'll work. Each fold in a finished origami crane will be represented by decorative stitching. OMG I hope the first design works!!! I love origami cranes. There is nothing more elegant and lucky! I am a little scared to start this with good fabric because. its a test but if it turns out great I have an ugly fabric origami crane that it perfect. Then I'll make the next on and it'll be horrible! my luck LOL!

Bun Skull Strikes Back!

I finished my third owl

and strawberry and asparagus

and the greatest creation!!! (Bun Skull)

My husbands idea to cut things much bigger than I wanted them made it perfect size. I LOVE HOW THIS BUN SKULL CAME OUT!!! He's my fav.

OMG I WAS AFK LOL

I guess it is just pure laziness that I haven't been doing this everyday. I have the time sure enough. I have just been discouraged with the sewing and such. I realized now what my mistake has been. I am cutting all the dolls to the size I want them to be and when they get sewn they become quite smaller, of course! It took a couple dolls to realize that. I have finished quite a few things though. I finished a quilt... more of a very thick quilt, an owl set in now complete (though I may make one more now), and and elephant was done long ago.

I am working on my veggie and fruit set still... old man strawberry is almost done. I have taken up some newer hobbies too. Which is why I might be distracted from this blogging business. I started reading a book well three books actually... I am not super mobile as of late. The fountainhead, There is a (slight) chance I am going to hell, and Slaughter house five. Each suited to the mood I am in. I also started baking more. Mostly muffins, a nice snack you know, already made or a quick breakfast. I had made these really good raspberry muffins and we ran out of those so I made peach cobbler muffins (very good!). I also opened a flick r account and am obsessed with that slightly. I went to the mall yesterday to take pictures and alas... I never did. I got side tracked with how tried I was and hungry. Oh well!


All this talking about food and sewing... I am gonna grab a muffin and try some new Larger patterns!!!

My first doll ever sewn

I need to fix a mistake... the baby is 19 weeks old in me and not 9 weeks.

Miss Molly Dorothy!!!

\

Its my sweet baby girl smiling up at us!!!
She is healthy at 9 weeks and will be Molly Dorothy! I can't wait to meet her. I have so many different things to do. I never thought I was having a girl. My husband's family has all boys pretty much. Ok, new priority lists for crafting!!!

I need to make some girly stuff!!!
I will make some cutie baby kimonos, cloth baby shoes, burp cloths, a new quilt, and a lavender doll... as well as more shadow boxes for the nursery!!! I am so excited... I should work on the veggie and pirate doll too!!! Then get robots!!!

Owls, Robots, and Carrots... Oh My!

TODAY IS BABY DAY!!! I GET TO FIND OUT THE SEX AND SEE MY BABY!!! HEAR MY BABY'S HEART BEAT ALL FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

Some New things I found around this awesome site of Instructables!!! I might try them when I move into my house this summer. Definitely good garden decor!

Homemade Solar Jars!!!

Firefly Sim Jar!!!

I have been working on remembering how to sew well. I stayed up real late doing that. I made two owl dolls that I mocked up after a design I liked. The original is much better check her out! If had the money I'd buy her stuff Pretty Little Things . Mine are a little less cute because of shoddy work and my warped changes which will make them darker. I also practiced making a giraffe/kangaroo. But it looks like a version of my dog! LOL.

I am gonna finish up my quilt and then move on from there. Get the veggie set down. I have to redo all the other ones. Which is fine I need to change a couple things and make them uber baby proof. I think I will start with the carrots. One realistic carrot and a carrot for the mobile (artsy).

1. Quilt
2. Veggie set revamped
3. Mobile (a while it happens in the veggie set)
4. More owls (I know I can get these right)
5. Boppies ( I have had the designs forever now and I need to do it before I lose my fabric for it)
6. Robot Dolls (I have the concept designs for the robots, need to get my sewing skills and
drawing on the same level)

7. Pirate Dolls
8. Alien Dolls
