I have been killing projects left and right. One of those projects was getting everything together for my baby girl’s first birthday in a little less than three weeks. I wanted to do something different and add my own design as well. Didn’t think I would be able to do it but her birthday falls in spring and then bunnies came to mind and then “Some Bunny is turning ONE” appeared. I’m happy with the invites and since they are out now, I can share with you. These were created in AI and I was able to make my handwriting into a vector illustration for the type.
Plans are still underway but I wanted to document some progress.
I’ll tell you more about the other project VERY soon.

A long time ago I painted a watercolor of green leaves and someone had suggested I make a print out of it. There is a great site called Spoonflower where you can submit designs and they will turn those designs into fabric. So fast forward probably three years later and I have made my first fabric. I love how it looks and the quality is just better than I imagined. There is a blizzard coming so I scanned in the fat quarter proof I ordered.
What do you think? So now I have one print for sale and I can’t wait to make more. Whenever I can get more time I want to learn how to screen-print as well. Never done it and would love to see what it’s like.

It’s oh so cozy in my sewing machine cozy. No more dust worries! I don’t take a lot of astrology info seriously but I do believe that Leos have a hard time finishing what they start. It is so true for me so I try to stick to things even harder. My sewing machine was a gift and it didn’t come with a cover, so I had been meaning to make one. This was the perfect time since I found this super cute fabric from Fancy Tiger! I learned so much from this project. I broke a needle since I forgot to change my foot to a zipper foot, I got to use the free arm, ironing seams to finish them is fun and sewing up those finished seams is even more fun. I knit too but the gratification comes so much quicker with sewing, slightly euphoria inducing.
One project done, one more to go.

I’ve been being crafty. I have always wanted a sewing machine and I got one for Christmas two years ago. I haven’t completed any major projects but I’m learning to be one with my machine. There is a project I’ve been working on for awhile to decorate the office but I needed to find some more coordinating fabrics. Things are slow over here. Just trying to enjoy my weird weather summer before it’s over.
Almost done and then I’ll do the big reveal!
