homemade from Charm About You


That's the baby sorted, I'm just hoping my son will want to wear the tie I'm making. At least it's looking the right sort of shape... just a bit of slip stitching to do tonight and then it is done.



I really like this song, the sentiment of it and the beautiful video - it makes me want to write on books and records:

Court Jester from WAR QUILT

P290P289

In fifth grade, I played a court jester in a school play. My mom looked at a Norman Rockwell painting of a jester and made a costume from scratch with no pattern. She's good! We found the costume recently, and I wanted to share her ingenuity.

The best Salted Caramels EVER from ART GIRL

Seriously. These are THE BEST. I found this recipe at bakingbites.com after trying a few others with no success. The recipe is easy to follow. I add a bit of vanilla to the heavy cream, and some chopped pecans to the caramel.
It was fun to use a recent monoprint as scrap paper to jot the recipe on! In making these caramels, there are two stages to the cooking. The first is to let the sugar/water/corn syrup bubble/boil (I keep the heat on low, high enough to keep bubbling but not so hot that there is ...

pressing spray and fireworks . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

I had found a recipe for pressing spray that I was very interested in trying.  Then I realized it had liquid starch in it and I had a most difficult time finding liquid starch.  So I googled it and found several recipes for that, as well (of course I did)!  So first I set about making my liquid starch.  I used the recipe from this link as my basis, but because I just wanted enough to use in my pressing spray, I cut the amounts.  I still ended up with more than I needed, but you can only cut down ...

pool, pins, and pinwheels . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

What a lovely day we had yesterday!  After Joc made her trip to the grocery store, we got geared up and headed over to her pool.
Ellie's now sporting a new bathing suit and hat.  She's grown out of her pink flamingos already.  And she's cut a third tooth, too!  She'll be sixteen in no time ... and I teared up just a little bit typing that out!
She loves the water . . . she'd fling those little legs back and just start kicking away!  She tried to put her face in the water and blow bubbles several ...

Garment Sewing: Baby Skirt from Melanie Ham Designs

My friend Megan (who just moved away… tear) is a garment sewer… well, she sews all sorts of things (like this), but she especially likes sewing clothes for her daughter and for herself.  She kept telling me, “Just wait until you start sewing clothes for Ainsley… I’m surprised you haven’t yet.”  So when I started this project I kept thinking of her telling me, “It’s really no big deal, if you can sew a quilt, you can sew clothes.”  Needless to say I was a smidge uncomfortable going out of my comfort zone of quilts and craft ...

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls from I Love Baby Quilts!



It's raining and freezing here today so I'm making the most comforting thing I can think of, homemade cinnamon rolls! I'm using this recipe if you get inspired to join me. The dough is really beautiful and easy to work with. I also think I'm going to drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze and I left out the nuts because I didn't have any.



Here's a process shot. Definitely not a diet dish! My two tips are: use real cinnamon, not Cassia cinnamon and use quilting thread to cut the rolls. It says to ...
