Yesterday over breakfast, S asked me what I wanted for mother’s day. Without hesitation, I said, “I would like you to extract that dead tooth hanging in M’s mouth”
well……there in the cafe….. he did just that.
using some of my Liberty fabric (M picked it), I made a little pouch for her tooth….
and last night it was safely tucked under her pillow for the tooth-fairy
today I made 2 stops at 2 of my favorite fabric stores…..
First….. Britex where all of their remnant fabric is 50% off ! (today only) If you go, head up to the 4th floor when you get there……and have fun!!
Next…… Discount Fabrics where I spotted this in their remnant section !!
Meadow Flowers from Lightening Bug and other Mysteries by Heather Ross
out of print for some time now….
our mornings start with this :
to make this :
(this favorite is; kale, apple, ginger, one date, orange juice and ice)
and we end our days with this :
our dear friend A sent us some roasted garlic oil (ra-yu). In Japan it is eaten on top of rice, but S………. likes it on top of almost anything.
Look for it at your local Japanese supermarket (I know that Nijiya carries it)
Enjoy!
this quilt was a family effort and…
we are all jumping for joy…
that baby L is finally here!
because M insisted,
we used a PAAS egg dying kit to color our eggs,
M was thrilled with the results.
we hope you had a colorful Easter too!!
M lost her first tooth yesterday.
Last night…..in typical M style….. she tripped and knocked her already wiggly bottom tooth out….. and the tooth above that askew.
one small exterior pocket and and water bottle compartment to keep her bottle upright
I’ll probably shorten that tail before we go to the party this afternoon.
have a good weekend !

when I asked S what he wanted to do for his birthday he replied, “Play Minecraft with my friends!”
…so we made a grass block cake:
…a creeper piñata :
…some creeper bags to catch the goodies :
…and invited some friends over to play and celebrate!
happy birthday S
This girl…
loves both snow and speed…
as well as ponies, dancing, gymnastics…
and playing with her favorite playmate, her brother.
happy birthday M
Every year my kids feel like the luckiest kids in school because they have the best teacher ever! This year is no exception..
room 6 : kindergarten
both bags are made with laminated linen for the exterior fabric and cotton for the interior.
there are snaps on both ends to hold the bag closed when needed
the handles for this bag are from japan…and fit perfectly…
room 5
I only had one set of handles…so I decided to make some for this bag…
I bought some cotton cording and encased it in leather…
(I used my zipper foot to stitch as close to the cord as possible… Cut the leather larger than needed… and then trim it back after you’ve stitched the cord in)
both bags also have a hanging interior pocket
ready :
set :
go :
hope you had a happy halloween too!
S is obsessed with Minecraft, so this costume choice came as no surprise.
We started making the costume body with foam board but it was difficult to walk in, sit and get on and off…
so we used ultrafirm stabilizer with cotton fused to one side. I then stitched it into shape and attached velcro where needed.
We made the head by gluing the foam board into a cube and gluing an old army helmet from the toy bin inside. I marked the eye hole and cut it out. I piled 4 layers of black netting and hot glued a rectangle and quickly put it over the cut out hole (on the inside of the box), using masking tape I finished it off…
the squares were painted with acrylic paint and the thin black lines were done with a paint pen.
have a good weekend!
